Dysgu Cymraeg gyda Grŵp Llandrillo Menai Dyma ddywedodd rhai o’n dysgwyr am y profiad o ddysgu Cymraeg gyda Grŵp Llandrillo Menai. / Here’s what some of our learners said about the experience of learning Welsh with Grŵp Llandrillo Menai.
Dyma ysgrifennodd Jake Sallaway-Costello o ddosbarth Mynediad 2, Bangor yn newyddlen adran Seicoleg, Prifysgol Bangor. / This is what Jake Sallaway-Costello from the Entry 2, Bangor class wrote in
Bangor University’s Psychology Department newsletter:
"Dwi caru Cymru achos dw i wrth fy modd yn dysgu a siarad Cymraeg! This is what I proudly said last month whilst being filmed as part of Coleg Menai’s video celebrating Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen, in which learners across North Wales were asked why they love their country. My answer, amongst many possibilities, was that I love Wales because I love learning and speaking Welsh. I can’t begin to count the number of times that a fellow student, member of staff or Bangor native has been shocked at my choice to learn the language during my time at university. But why should they be? Cymraeg is a vibrant, ever growing language that is central to centuries of Celtic culture, and has broken through into the modern age. Bilingual emailing, Welsh-medium degrees and government support have facilitated the language’s transformation from a traditional, ancient mother tongue into a modern, economically beneficial skill that can be appreciated by people all over the UK. When we think back to our days at school, we remember the German teacher that had never been to Germany, and the French tutor that didn’t know the meaning of “voulez-vous couched avec moi?”. We think of the endless hours spent conjugating verbs that you would never use in normal conversation. Welsh language education is nothing like that. The tutors that I have had the privilege of being taught by over the past two years are not only native speakers and linguistic experts, but have a passion for their language and a drive to inspire others to enjoy it as well. They build upon their own experience of learning the language as a mother tongue, to develop exciting and meaningful lessons that enable you to use your Welsh confidently in everyday life. The courses involve trips to local places of Welsh culture, competitions and chances to meet other learners to practice your skills without fear of the other conversationalist talking too fast! Most importantly, you leave every lesson knowing that you’ve learned something new that you can then use to be an active member of the North Wales community. Lessons are offered by both the university and Coleg Menai – I have taken courses at both and found them to be equally interesting, interactive and inspiring. Bangor University students are entitled to a reduction in fees, meaning that weekly lessons can cost as little as £1 per session. Learners also have the opportunity to take optional tests at the end of their course in order to attain qualifications to evidence their language skills, in addition to being able to claim BEA credits for their commitment. I would highly recommend Welsh language learning as a fascinating, diverse hobby for anybody interested in culture, linguistics or personal development. Dw i'n edrych ymlaen i weld chi yn fuan!" Roedd Jake yn ddysgwr y mis ar wefan www.gogledd.ybont.org yn mis Rhafyr hefyd!

Dysgu Cymraeg gyda Grŵp Llandrillo Menai
Taith y dysgwyr i Aberystwyth
Dyma ysgrifennodd Kevin Evans o ddosbarth Mynediad 1, Amlwch am ei brofiad o ddysgu Cymraeg ac ymarfer at Eisteddfod y Dysgwyr ar y 14eg o Chwefror. /This is what Kevin Evans from the
Entry 1, Amlwch class wrote about his experience learning Welsh and practising for the Learners Eisteddfod on the 14th February:
VENI, VIDI, VICI….. Well, I have come and joined a thriving Welsh class here in Amlwch, I can now see the challenge ahead, however I do appreciate it’s going to be a long and interesting journey, to conquer! The wet wintry days and nights have been trying – fallen trees, floods etc – but the meeting with likeminded people from all backgrounds, whom like me wish to learn and speak this wonderful language of Welsh, does help to colour the time. To add some spice to this occasion we are also now challenged with the opportunity of taking part in an Eisteddfod in Caernafon on March 14. Created by one of our Amlwch team, Penny, we will endeavour to act a 3 minute sketch to test the knowledge we have learnt over the past 24 weeks! Hopefully we will also bring a little humour into our lives! We shall see, and who knows the above Latin phrase will be met in total….. Dod, Gweld a Trechu! Llongyfarchiadau i ddosbarth Amlwch am gael 1af yn Eisteddfod y Dysgwyr!!!
Congratulations to the Amlwch class for winning the 1st prize at the Learners’ Eisteddfod!!!

Taith i wylio y rygbi Coleg Llandrillo a Choleg Menai Dyma ysgrifennodd Sarah Caunt a Helen Kendal am eu profiadau yn mynd i wylio’r rygbi yn ddiweddar. / This is what Sarah Caunt wrote about her experi-
ence going to watch the rugby with her Welsh class recently. Yn mis Mawrth aeth ein dosbarth Cymraeg a dosbarth arall i weld tîm rygbi Cymru o dan 20ain ym Mharc Eirias. Mi wnaethon ni wisgo dillad Cymreig a wnaethon ni fynd â baneri. Mi chwaraeon nhw yn erbyn Ffrainc. Roedd yr awyrgylch yn fendigedig! Mi brynon ni gwrw Cymraeg a mi wnaethon ni ffeindio ein seddi. Roedd hi’n wych i glywed pawb yn canu yr anthem genedlaethol. Er na wnaeth Cymru ennill mi gaethon ni amser da iawn. (Sarah Caunt) Geirfa Mawrth —

da Aethon ni wylio'r rygbi dan 20 oed a hyd yn oed er ei fod yn wlyb ac yn oer roedd yn hwyl. Mi wnaethon ni gyfarfod ddysgwyr eraill Cymraeg a canu caneuon Cymraeg tra'n yfed cwrw Cymraeg. Felly, gaethon ni hwyl a dw i wedi dysgu am rygbi! (Helen Kendall)
