The teaching staff of experienced Welsh-speaking instructors is brought from Wales and North America . There are approximately 5 hours of language class each day, supplemented by further language and culture-related activities in the afternoon. Evening events such as singing, folk dancing, Welsh-language films, and a Noson Lawen (talent night) provide additional opportunities to relax while enjoying a Welsh-language atmosphere.

Eisteddfod Y Cwrs / The Course Eisteddfod As many of you know, a traditional part of every Cymdeithas Madog Welsh course is the Eisteddfod. In keeping with venerable Welsh tradition, our eisteddfod is a literary competition in which students of all levels, from complete beginners through the most advanced, are invited to submit a written piece on a specified topic. The winning bard at the highest (most fluent) level receives the Cymdeithas Madog chair, a beautifully wrought miniature version of the official chair for the 1989 Llanrwst National Eisteddfod. The topics for levels 1 through 5 will be announced during the cwrs. However, in order to give the higher level students a headstart, Cymdeithas Madog is pleased to announce the topic for the levels 6 and 7 chair competition. This year, the topic will be "Goleuni." Entrants may interpret or apply the topic in any way they wish. Your entry may be prose or poetry, but it must be a piece of original writing of a minimum of 350 words. You may use any written materials you like (dictionaries, grammars etc.) but you may not consult any living Welsh speaker for assistance with your entry. Pob lwc i bawb. ========================= I Have A Question / Mae Gen I Gwestiwn If you have a question about Cwrs Goleuni'r Gogledd, don't hesitate to contact our registrar.
