18 to 25 year olds can enrol on Welsh courses with the National Centre for Learning Welsh, and will not be asked to pay when registering.


Free Welsh lessons are also available to all teachers, head teachers and teaching assistants as part of the Welsh Government’s efforts to strengthen the teaching of Welsh in the new Curriculum and increase the number of practitioners who can teach in Welsh.


Education staff can access a new online portal where they can find a suitable course including virtual lessons, face\-to\-face lessons and self\-study courses. The portal includes a Learning Wizard tool which helps provide a choice of relevant courses.


16\-18 year olds at selected schools and Further Education colleges are taking part in a digital learning pilot project, run by the National Centre and SaySomethinginWelsh. Other initiatives for 16 to 18 year olds include a short online course with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and a Welsh confidence\-building pilot in Powys with e\-sgol.


Evidence and data collected as part of the pilot projects will inform a national scheme for 16 to 18 year\-olds, from 2023\.


Jeremy Miles, the Minister for Education and the Welsh Language, said:



> I’m pleased we are increasing the opportunities to learn our language and making it easier for more people to have the opportunity to learn Welsh and use it in their daily lives.
> 
> 
> Growing the number of educators who can teach through the medium of Welsh is key to achieving our aim of a million Welsh speakers by 2050, and this makes it as easy as possible for them to have access to Welsh courses for free. Providing free lessons to 18 to 25s means that they can continue to develop and improve their Welsh ability and to use the language within their work and social lives.
> 
> 
> Cymraeg belongs to us all.  I would encourage all teaching staff and young people who want to learn Welsh for the first time or who want to improve their Welsh to take this opportunity.


Cefin Campbell MS, Designated Member, said:



> Everyone in Wales should have the opportunity to learn Welsh and experience the cultural and social benefits it brings.

> The rollout of free Welsh lessons for young people and those in the teaching profession is another step towards making it as easy as possible to learn and speak Welsh and to achieve the target for a million Welsh speakers and beyond.

Gall pobl rhwng 18 a 25 mlwydd oed gofrestru ar gyrsiau Cymraeg gyda’r Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol, ac ni fydd angen iddynt dalu wrth gofrestru.


Mae gwersi Cymraeg am ddim hefyd ar gael i bob athro, pennaeth a chynorthwyydd addysgu fel rhan o ymdrechion Llywodraeth Cymru i gryfhau’r elfen o ddysgu Cymraeg yn y Cwricwlwm newydd a chynyddu nifer yr ymarferwyr sy’n gallu addysgu drwy gyfrwng yr iaith.


Bellach gall staff y sector addysg gael mynediad at borth ar\-lein newydd lle gallant ddod o hyd i gwrs addas gan gynnwys gwersi rhithiol, gwersi wyneb yn wyneb a chyrsiau hunanastudio. Mae’r porth yn cynnwys Dewin Dysgu sy’n helpu i roi dewis o gyrsiau perthnasol.


Mae pobl ifanc 16 i 18 mlwydd oed mewn ysgolion a cholegau Addysg Bellach penodol yn cymryd rhan mewn prosiect peilot dysgu digidol, sy’n cael ei redeg gan y Ganolfan Genedlaethol a SaySomethinginWelsh. Mae mentrau eraill ar gyfer pobl 16 i 18 mlwydd oed yn cynnwys cwrs byr ar\-lein gyda Gwobr Dug Caeredin a chynllun peilot magu hyder mewn Cymraeg ym Mhowys gydag e\-sgol.


Bydd tystiolaeth a data a gesglir fel rhan o’r prosiectau peilot yn llywio cynllun cenedlaethol ar gyfer pobl 16 i 18 mlwydd oed, o 2023 ymlaen.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles, Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg:



> Rwy’n falch ein bod yn cynyddu’r cyfleoedd i ddysgu ein hiaith a’i gwneud yn haws i fwy o bobl gael cyfle i ddysgu Cymraeg a defnyddio’r iaith yn eu bywydau bob dydd.
> 
> 
> Mae cynyddu nifer yr addysgwyr sy’n gallu addysgu drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg yn allweddol o ran cyflawni ein nod o gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050\. Mae hyn yn ei gwneud mor hawdd â phosibl iddynt gael mynediad at gyrsiau Cymraeg am ddim. Mae darparu gwersi am ddim i bobl 18 i 25 mlwydd oed yn golygu y gallant barhau i ddatblygu a gwella eu gallu yn y Gymraeg a’i defnyddio yn eu gwaith ac wrth gymdeithasu.
> 
> 
> Mae’r Gymraeg yn perthyn i ni i gyd. Byddwn yn annog pob aelod o staff addysgu a phobl ifanc sydd am ddysgu Cymraeg am y tro cyntaf neu sydd am wella eu Cymraeg i fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn.


Dywedodd Cefin Campbell AS, Aelod Dynodedig:



> Dylai pawb yng Nghymru gael y cyfle i ddysgu’r Gymraeg a phrofi manteision diwylliannol a chymdeithasol gwneud hynny. 
> 
> 
> “Mae cyflwyno gwersi Cymraeg am ddim i bobl ifanc a’r rheini sydd yn y proffesiwn addysgu yn gam arall ymlaen tuag at ei gwneud mor hawdd â phosibl i ddysgu a siarad Cymraeg ac i gyflawni’r targed o gael miliwn a mwy o siaradwyr Cymraeg.
