The scheme is part of the Welsh Government's Co\-operation Agreement with Plaid Cymru.


Between 22 September 2022 and 31 March 2023, over 1,500 16 to 25 year olds have joined Welsh language learning lessons along with 450 teachers and prospective teachers.


The Cardiff based street artist, Daniel Reeves, better known as ‘Revealist,’ has taken advantage of the scheme. He said:



> “I saw a post about the learning Welsh on Instagram, it stated that there were free lessons for all under 25s. I googled it and signed up instantly.
> 
> 
> “I found learning Welsh really easy whilst online with the tutor. She was very helpful. It’s been incredible having people from so many different walks of life supporting me on my journey, but I think the best thing has been being able to feel proud about something I’m working on.”


One of the teachers who has learned Welsh over the past year is Tom Trevarthen of Ysgol Henry Richard in Tregaron \- a finalist in this year’s Welsh Learner of the Year award.


He said:



> "I have lived in Wales since moving here to study over a decade ago, and last year I decided it was high time I learned Welsh, and I just got on with it, and have thoroughly enjoyed.
> 
> 
> "The Welsh language now plays an important part in my social life and work life. Many children at the school speak Welsh as a second language, and I hope that seeing me learn and gain confidence in using my Welsh has inspired them.”


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



> "The Welsh language belongs to us all, and our aim when launching this initiative last year was to make it easier than ever for people to learn Welsh and to gain the confidence to use it in their daily lives. I'm delighted that almost 2,000 people have had this opportunity over the past year.
> 
> 
> "Through providing Welsh lessons for free, we have ensured that young people can continue to develop and improve their Welsh language skills after leaving school, and that they can use the language at work and in their social lives.
> 
> 
> "Developing the Welsh language skills of the education workforce is key to reaching our goal of one million Welsh speakers by 2050\."


Cefin Campbell MS, Designated Member, said:



> “It’s fantastic to see the enthusiasm and take up for this offer of free Welsh lessons for young people and those in the teaching profession. It is a key part of the package of policies to strengthen the Welsh language, happening through the Co\-operation Agreement between Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government.
> 
> 
> “A year on from the launch it is great to see the impact this scheme is having. I hope that we see the success of the scheme continue and build even more momentum going forward.”


Dona Lewis, Chief Executive of the National Centre for Learning Welsh, said:



> "The Centre's main aim is to create and support new speakers of Welsh, and we offer a range of opportunities for people to enjoy learning and using Welsh.
> 
> 
> "There are specific schemes for young people and the education workforce, with face\-to\-face classes, virtual ones, and online self\-study courses. There is a buzz in the sector and demand for new opportunities, and we will continue to work with our partners to expand our provision."

Mae’r cynllun yn rhan o Gytundeb Cydweithio Llywodraeth Cymru â Phlaid Cymru.


Rhwng 22 Medi 2022 a 31 Mawrth 2023, ymunodd dros 1,500 o bobl ifanc 16 i 25 â gwersi dysgu Cymraeg, a dros 450 o athrawon a darpar athrawon.


Mae’r artist stryd o Gaerdydd, Daniel Reeves a gaiff ei adnabod fel ‘Revealist’, wedi manteisio ar y cynllun. Dywedodd:



> “Fe welais i neges ar Instagram am wersi Cymraeg am ddim i bobl dan 25 oed. Fe wnes i chwilio ar y we a rhoi fy enw i lawr yn syth.
> 
> 
> “Roedd dysgu Cymraeg ar\-lein gyda’r tiwtor yn hawdd iawn. Roedd hi’n help mawr. Mae wedi bod yn wych cael cefnogaeth gan gymaint o bobl ar y daith, o gymaint o wahanol gefndiroedd, ond y peth gorau i fi yw gallu teimlo’n falch am rywbeth dw i’n gweithio arno.”


Un o’r athrawon sydd wedi dysgu Cymraeg yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf yw Tom Trevarthen o Ysgol Henry Richard Tregaron \- un o’r bobl oedd ar restr fer Dysgwr y Flwyddyn eleni. Dywedodd:



> “Dw i wedi byw yng Nghymru ers symud yma i astudio dros ddegawd yn ôl, ac y llynedd fe wnes i benderfynu ei bod hi’n hen bryd i fi ddysgu Cymraeg, ac ers hynny dw i wedi bwrw ’mlaen ac wir wedi joio.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r Gymraeg nawr yn rhan bwysig o ’mywyd cymdeithasol a ’mywyd gwaith. Mae llawer o blant yn yr ysgol yn siarad Cymraeg fel ail iaith a dw i’n gobeithio bod fy ngweld i’n dysgu ac yn dod yn fwy hyderus i ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg wedi bod yn ysbrydoliaeth iddyn nhw.”


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles, Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg:



> “Mae’r Gymraeg yn perthyn i ni i gyd, ac wrth lansio’r fenter hon y llynedd, y nod oedd ei gwneud hi’n haws nag erioed i bobl ddysgu’r iaith a magu’r hyder i’w defnyddio yn eu bywydau bob dydd. Rwy’n hynod o falch fod bron i 2,000 o bobl wedi manteisio ar y cyfle dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.
> 
> 
> “Drwy gynnig gwersi Cymraeg am ddim, rydym wedi sicrhau fod pobl ifanc yn gallu parhau i ddatblygu a gwella eu sgiliau Cymraeg ar ôl gadael yr ysgol, a’u bod yn gallu defnyddio’r iaith yn eu gwaith ac wrth gymdeithasu.
> 
> 
> “Mae datblygu sgiliau Cymraeg y gweithlu addysg yn allweddol i gyrraedd ein nod o filiwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050\.”


Dywedodd Cefin Campbell AS, Aelod Dynodedig:



> "Mae'n wych gweld y brwdfrydedd a bod pobl yn manteisio ar y cynnig hwn o wersi Cymraeg am ddim i bobl ifanc ac i rai yn y proffesiwn addysgu. Mae'n rhan allweddol o'r pecyn o bolisïau i gryfhau'r Gymraeg, sy’n digwydd drwy'r Cytundeb Cydweithio rhwng Plaid Cymru a Llywodraeth Cymru.
> 
> 
> "Flwyddyn ers ei lansio, mae'n arbennig gweld yr effaith y mae'r cynllun hwn yn ei chael. Rwy'n gobeithio y gwelwn lwyddiant y cynllun yn parhau, ac y bydd yn magu hyd yn oed mwy o fomentwm wrth symud ymlaen."


Dywedodd Dona Lewis, Prif Weithredwr y Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol: “Creu a chefnogi siaradwyr newydd y Gymraeg yw prif nod y Ganolfan, ac rydyn ni’n cynnig ystod o gyfleoedd i bobl fwynhau dysgu a defnyddio’r Gymraeg. 



> “Mae cynlluniau penodol ar gyfer pobl ifanc a’r gweithlu addysg, gyda dosbarthiadau wyneb\-yn\-wyneb, rhai rhithiol, a chyrsiau hunan\-astudio ar\-lein.  Mae ’na fwrlwm yn y sector a galw am gyfleoedd newydd, a byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda’n partneriaid i ehangu ein darpariaeth.”
