Clwb Cwtsh is a short, free, and informal Welsh language taster course focused on supporting parents/carers to use basic Welsh with young children at home (parents to be or members of the extended family are also welcome!). The course is offered by Mudiad Meithrin in collaboration with the National Welsh Learning Centre.

Learners won’t need any Welsh to join. Sessions are fun, informal and use songs and games to help learn words and phrases. During the Autumn Term of 2025, courses will last 10 weeks with a half term break.

There is a wide choice of on-line or face-to-face courses available in South Wales or North Wales dialect.
