Welsh Language Learning for WSD Members Starting Now!
If you have ever wanted to learn Welsh but just haven't been able to find a class or group to learn with, now is the time! We are kicking off our group learning experience tailored to beginners, and it's free of charge. We'll progress together using an online learning platform and have regular meetups with a first-language Welsh speaker who will help us with pronunciation and real-world usage. Current (2023) WSD members should have received the e-mail announcement.
A Great Day at the 2023 Scottish Games
The Welsh Society of Delaware booth was buzzing with activity at this year's Fair Hill Scottish Games, held on 20 May. The weather was a little dodgy at times but the misty, cool day was no bother for the attendees -- we hear there was a record turnout. We had a great day, in addition to having sold all of our home made Welsh cakes we can boast several new members! If you missed us this year, we will be there again next year. For information on the Games, visit their website.
