Cwrs y Pedwar Llyn
2024-07-21 - 2024-07-27 | Edgewood College, Madison, WI, United States
About the Cwrs
We have a great Cwrs planned! Most of our tutors this year are regulars at Cwrs Cymraeg, but we are delighted to welcome Mared Lewis, an author who has published novels for Welsh language learners, for the first time this year.
There will be pub nights, the famous quiz led by the indomitable Robert Jones, Welsh scrabble, and extra workshops by the tutors on Welsh hymnody, writing in Welsh, and other topics of interest. Our Noson Llawen and Eisteddfod will be highlights of the week! We hope to see you there!
Field trip to Taliesin
Past attendees of Cwrs Cymraeg may remember that we usually have a field trip during the week exploring some interesting part of our Cwrs locale. This year, we’ll be going to Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio near Madison. We will be gone about five hours on Wednesday the 24th for this outing.
If you’d like to join us, you can add this extra when you register via Eventbrite at the link above!
Details
Course fee: $1300
Covers tuition, meals and board. Options for single or double occupancy. Rooms are set up as suites with a shared bathroom.
Taliesin field trip: $80
July 24. If you’d like to join us, please add $80 to your course fee when you register.

Cwrs Rhith January 2025
2025-01-24 - 2025-01-26
Cwrs Rhith Ionawr 2025 ~ Virtual Welsh Course January 2025 ~
Registration is open.
We invite you to register for our annual Winter virtual Cwrs! This will be a mini-course featuring three levels of Welsh: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced. Three sessions per level are available over the weekend of January 24 through 26, you can sign up for one, two, or all three sessions at your desired level. Sessions will be 90 minutes each, and will take place using Zoom.
In contrast to our usual in person course structure, the Cwrs Rhith (Virtual Course) will be in an informal “siop siarad” format, with activities and conversation topics created by each individual tutor.
Registered participants are also able to register for an optional presentation by Huw Webber on
Welsh late 19th century history, including why Wales didn’t opt for independence.
Also included in the weekend will be two pronunciation sessions run by Christine McSorley. She will go through “Yr Wyddor” the Welsh alphabet with you, to practice the sounds and build your vocabulary as you go through the letters. As you know Welsh is very phonetical “what you see is what you say”
