The Welsh Government’s free language lessons continue to transform the lives of young people and teachers.
As the new academic year begins, young people aged 16 to 25 and school staff across Wales have the opportunity to learn Cymraeg for free.
The free Welsh language lessons scheme, funded by the Welsh Government, has been running for two years, with over 3,200 people benefitting from it in 2023 and 2024.
In July, the Welsh Government introduced the Welsh Language and Education Bill in the Senedd. The legislation aims to ensure that all pupils are independent Welsh language users, at least, by the time they reach the end of compulsory school age, equipped to use the language in both personal and professional settings.
For young people aged 16 to 25, the free lessons offer those who didn’t learn to speak the language at school a second chance to become Welsh speakers.
