Cwrs Wlpan and its follow on course are an effective way of teaching Welsh. I have just begun Cwrs Pellach.

Pob Dydd Wener, dw i’n dysgu Cymraeg y Prifysgol Bangor.

Cwrs Wlpan is built upon the same principles that ensured that Jews from very many nations could learn to speak Hebrew when the state of Israel was established. Politics aside, that was an amazing feat of education.

The Welsh for Adults course relies is designed to help people converse in Welsh. Patterns are taught using repetition, conversation in small groups, tasks, and home work. It is, I would say, fairly intense, but interspersed with laughter, encouragement and support.

I wonder whether within this there are some principles of teaching people how to follow Jesus. Whatever brand of church tradition we are, we must admit that many people have lost the art of knowing what is involved in following Jesus.

Perhaps we might try to copy Cwrs Wlpan – with a Cwrs Iesu.

What would it look like? I wonder.
