Free Welsh Now! is a brand-new website, full of free resources for Welsh learners. I've moved a number of items previously available from Cadw Swn over to the site, including audios, puzzles and articles. I'll be adding more over the coming months.

Go to www.freewelshnow.com to find out more.

O'r diwedd - At last. The new Cadw Swn website is now open.

'Learn Welsh fast with Cadw Swn' is the slightly altered title of the slightly altered Welsh home-study course.

Some of you will know that the course was only previously available as a 10 CD package bundled with the course book.
While we felt it was great value, and a great package, we realized that some people wanted to buy the CDs individually, then move on to the next when they felt like.

Also, a number of people suggested that audio downloads might be the way to go.

While we're still recording sections of some of the CDs the first 2 audio CDs and the first 3 audio download packs are now available, together with the new course book.

The CDs are fabulous - shrink-wrapped, in luxury DVD-style cases, they must be the best-ever CDs the course has been on.

The audio downloads are great too - 100% less packaging than the CDs, no shipping to pay, and a nicer price too!

www.cadwswn.com is the place to find out more.

Hwyl am y tro,

Colin

And why not add a greeting in Welsh? Pam lai?

Here are a few suggestions:

Nadolig Llawen - Merry Christmas
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda - Happy New Year

Cyfarchion y Tymor - Season's Greetings

Dymuniadau gorau - Best wishes

Pob Bendith - Every Blessing

oddi wrth - from

Y Cynulliad - The Assembly

Looks like an interesting time ahead for all, as we head for another referendum on the Senedd.
