Learning Welsh
If you are learning Welsh, haven't used it for while or have previously thought about starting your journey then there's no better place to practice than the Eisteddfod! Make sure you visit Maes D (the Eisteddfod's Welsh learners village) during your time on the Maes to find a course that works for you.
Locally, there's a whole host of Welsh language courses available with Dysgu Cymraeg, and you can also find a list of Welsh coffee mornings on the Menter Iaith RCT activities page where you can use your Welsh skills in an informal setting.
