That's the highest number ever of people improving their Cymraeg skills. ❤️🏴💬 The good news comes as the National Centre for Learning Welsh celebrates its tenth anniversary at the 2026 Eisteddfod. 🥳
Chief Executive Dona Lewis said: "It’s a great pleasure to see the Learn Welsh sector thriving as we mark the National Centre's tenth anniversary.
"Over the past decade, we have taken a strategic approach to expanding our work, reaching new audiences and creating more opportunities for people to use and enjoy Welsh in their communities, workplaces and everyday lives.
"The latest figures – more than 20,000 people learning Welsh – reflect the success of that work, the quality of our provision, the dedication of our tutors and staff, and the enthusiasm and commitment of our learners and partners across Wales.
"We are privileged to support learners from every background at every stage of their language journey, helping to realise our ambition of creating confident Welsh speakers who enjoy using the language. We look forward to continuing that work as an exciting new chapter begins.”
Well done to all the wonderful Cymraeg learners out there! Whether you've only just nailed a 'sut wyt ti' or can now have a whole conversation, you're doing great. Everyone has to start somewhere - keep at it. ❤️💪
