Off to morning Welsh classes

What kind of week did we have in Minnesota's Twin Cities, for Cymdeithas Madog's 2018 Cwrs Cymraeg Welsh language week?  Well, it was a very hot week indeed.  Cwrs Cymraeg Y Gefaill-Ddinasoedd ("The Twin Cities Welsh Course"), July 15th to 22nd, 2018, at Hamline University in St. Paul was a very busy week of Welsh language learning that kept us going from the dawn's early light to nightfall.  There was lots of Welsh to learn for every myfyriwr ("student") from the complete beginner to the most experienced of Welsh language learners.  Our tutors made sure that our minds were filled to overflowing with yr hen iaith ("the old language").  There were also a variety of workshops to attend, a cwrs newspaper, and the famous Cymdeithas Madog Cwrs Cymraeg choir to attend.

But when we weren't busy learning, there was time for relaxing evening activities including folk dancing, a quiz in the pub, a Welsh film night, Cwrs Cymraeg's Eisteddfod, a sumptuous banquet and a noson lawen (a talent night where everyone takes part).  The highlight of the week was all the Welsh that we learned.  A close second was our Wednesday field trip off campus to Fort Snelling.

When Sunday rolled around after a full week of Welsh learning, we backed our bags, said "hwyl fawr" ("good bye") to friends old and new, and made our way home.  But we won't forget the Welsh that we learned this week.  Now we have 51 weeks to practice the Welsh we have learned and prepare ourselves for the 2019 Cwrs Cymraeg in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  See you there.
