Cymraeg and our culture is an important part of many people’s lives and communities across Wales. The Welsh Government is committed to support Cymraeg and our Welsh-speaking communities.

We know that second homes and holiday lets can affect Cymraeg and local people’s ability to live locally. The Welsh Government has a number of interventions to support our communities and one of them is to create a Cultural Ambassadors Network.

When people move into a new community or visit whilst on holiday, you as an Ambassador can have a chat with them about our local history and heritage, and about the importance of the Welsh language. You could even teach them a little bit of Cymraeg… Diolch (thank you), croeso (you’re welcome), bore da (good morning), prynhawn da (good afternoon).

You’ll learn a lot more than this on the course, and then you’ll be able to use this information in your day-to-day life.

What might this look like? You could have a chat with your new neighbours about the area’s history, or use a little Cymraeg such as ‘Bore da!’ as you pass visitors on the street. Or why not host a ‘Panad a Sgwrs’ or ‘Cuppa and a Chat’ session with newcomers or local Welsh learners? Once you’ve completed the course you can do a whole load of things. The choice is yours!
