Parents and toddlers have been benefiting from Learn Welsh classes run by Coleg Cambria as part of the Learn Welsh North East Consortium.

The weekly Welsh sessions were held in the community room at the Tesco store in Wrexham.

During the ‘Welsh at Home’ class, those participating had the opportunity to learn Welsh whilst the children enjoyed playing, singing and stories through the medium of Welsh.

The classes have been praised by parents who attended.

Nathan Woods, 37 from Wrexham who attended the class said: “I’m learning Welsh to be able to help my children who are attending a Welsh medium school with their homework.”

Mhairi McLaren, 34 from Wrexham who attended with her son added: “I really enjoy learning the language and being able to learn and practice with my son at home. Attending the class has built my confidence as I haven’t used my Welsh since school days.”

Emma Burton, Learn Welsh Tutor at Coleg Cambria said: “It’s great to see the parents learning the language with their children, we’ve had such a good time in the class learning through songs and stories whilst the children enjoy playing and joining in.”
