Mutations are one of the most surprising aspects of Welsh, the same word can begin with different consonants depending on its grammatical context (after certain words, 'b' becomes 'f', 'p' becomes 'b', 'c' becomes 'g'…). There are three types of mutation. At first it is disconcerting, but native speakers use them instinctively. Our teachers introduce the most frequent mutations first, the ones you will hear in 80% of conversations.

Is there really a Welsh-speaking community in Argentina?

Yes, Y Wladfa, founded in 1865 in Patagonia by Welsh emigrants fleeing British assimilation, still has several thousand speakers of Patagonian Welsh. The Patagonian dialect has diverged slightly from the Welsh spoken in Wales but remains mutually intelligible. It is one of the most fascinating stories in world linguistic history, a Celtic language surviving on the pampas of South America.

Why learn Welsh if everyone in Wales speaks English?

For deep cultural integration, Wales is a distinct nation with a strong identity. Speaking Welsh opens doors that stay closed to English speakers: the Welsh-speaking rural communities of the north and west, the pubs and rugby clubs where Welsh dominates, jobs in the Welsh administration (many require Welsh), and Welsh-language media (S4C, BBC Radio Cymru). Welsh is a sign of respect and belonging.

How are the letter combinations 'll' and 'dd' pronounced in Welsh?

The Welsh 'll' is one of the language's most iconic sounds, a voiceless lateral fricative that exists in no other Western European language. To produce it: place your tongue in the 'l' position, open the sides slightly and blow. The 'dd' is a voiced 'th' as in the English word 'this'. These two sounds are the phonetic signature of Welsh. Our native teachers dedicate time to mastering them from the very first lessons.

How long does it take to hold a conversation in Welsh?

Welsh is classed as a difficult language for English speakers (the mutations, the pronunciation) but moderately difficult for anyone with experience in European languages. With regular lessons, 6 to 9 months is enough to hold a basic daily conversation. The Welsh Duolingo course is excellent as a supplement. Welsh has the advantage of being phonetic, you pronounce exactly what is written, once the rules are known.

Verified learner testimonials.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

CamilleVerified purchase

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”

DamienVerified purchase

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

SorayaVerified purchase

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

AntoineVerified purchase

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
