Cwrs yr Ymerodraeth - The Empire Course In 2007, Cymdeithas Madog headed to the capital of New York State for "Cwrs yr Ymerodraeth" ("the Empire Course"). The 31st annual Cwrs Cymraeg Welsh language week was held July 22nd to 29th, 2007 on the campus of the Sage College in Albany, New York.

We had a great week at Sage College. Cwrs yr Ymerodraeth—the Empire Course—brought Cymdeithas Madog's annual week-long Welsh course to New York, the Empire State, for a week of language learning and hwyl.

You can view pictures of your classmates and cwrs mates now on our website. You can download the pictures you want and print them on your printer. Alternatively, you can visit the Kodak Easyshare Gallery site and have them print out the pictures you want for a small charge - please note that you will have to register with the Kodak Easyshare Gallery (if you have not already done so). Further, at the end of each Cwrs Cymraeg, students are awarded certificates to testify to their newfound proficiency in Welsh. Here are some class pictures of the students with their hard-won and justly deserved certificates of achievement ========================= Eisteddfod Y Cwrs / The Course Eisteddfod One of the highlights of each year's Cwrs Cymraeg is the Cwrs Eisteddfod. This is a writing competition that allows the learners show off their newfound skills. There are prizes for the best entries in three groups: Levels 1 & 2, Levels 3, 4, & 5, and Levels 5 Estynedig & 6. Read the winning entries from Cwrs Cymraeg yr Ymerodraeth. ========================= Papur Y Cwrs / The Course Newspaper If you're interested in what happened during our week on Cwrs Cymraeg yr Ymerodraeth, there's no more authoritative voice than Arwyr Albany, the official cwrs newspaper (pdf format - 1.2 MB). ========================= Y Noson Lawen After a long week of learning Welsh, there's a need to blow off a little steam. That's why the Saturday evening is reserved for the "noson lawen" (literally "cheerful evening"), an evening where everyone takes part in the entertainment. Class skits and single entertainers make the noson lawen truly a cheerful and memorable evening. Here are a few pictures of the skits and entertainers. =========================
