Do you speak Welsh but have lost the confidence to use the language? Or are you learning Welsh and want to use it? This is a great opportunity for you to be able to practice the Welsh language with other people who want to gain confidence in speaking Welsh.<\/p>\n<p>Under the umbrella of the old library, our weekly Welsh conversation group first met about six years ago with the aim of enabling first-language speakers and learners at all levels to maintain and develop their confidence in conversing in Welsh. We now meet in the Hub allowing learners the opportunity to improve their Welsh language skills in a welcoming environment. We have close links with tutors and learners from the Welsh learning centre in Palmerston, Barry, who frequently attend.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a formal class setting and although help is at hand from more experienced speakers, the \u2018grammar police\u2019 are not going to pounce on learners mistakes. It\u2019s just a chance to converse through the medium of Welsh at one\u2019s own level within a supportive group. We meet throughout the year at 11 am on Mondays so just turn up for a warm welcome.<\/p>\n<p>To help develop your reading skills we hold a variety of Welsh language books in the Hub for adults and children, especially easy reads for learners.<\/p>\n<p>The group is very enthusiastic, and plans are in hand to put on a bilingual Noson Lawen (an evening of mirth) to celebrate St David\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12108\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/wenvoe.org.uk\/?attachment_id=12108\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wenvoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture4.jpg?fit=500%2C305\" data-orig-size=\"500,305\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Picture4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wenvoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture4.jpg?fit=300%2C183\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wenvoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture4.jpg?fit=500%2C305\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12108\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wenvoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture4.jpg?resize=500%2C305\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wenvoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture4.jpg?w=500 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wenvoe.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Picture4.jpg?resize=300%2C183 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Some members\u2019 comments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I love Clwb Clonc, it helps with my Welsh learning enormously.
