Welsh

As a Welsh company, we pride ourselves on the high standard of our Welsh Language and Culture tours, which provide pupils with a fantastic opportunity to practise their language skills in a real-life setting whilst immersing themselves in the unique culture of Wales. Whether it’s a day trip to Cardiff to visit our proud capital city, a tour to North Wales with a literature focus, or a fun-filled weekend to the St. David’s Welsh Festival at Disneyland® Paris, your pupils will be exposed to a variety of Welsh linguistic and cultural features which are sure to bring to life the language which they study in the classroom. We can also arrange for your pupils to have language lessons during their tour, providing a splendid academic component to the tour which will complement their learning outside the classroom.

Why not add a different element your Welsh Language and Culture tour by visiting another country? A tour to Brittany will teach students of Welsh about the Celtic connection that Wales shares with this Western corner of France. While exploring the beautiful coastal landscape and picturesque towns and villages, students can learn how Brittany is similar to Wales in character and sprit. It is also fascinating to compare the Welsh and Breton languages, where the similarities are obvious, for example in many of the local place names. Furthermore, a tour to Brittany is the perfect cross-curricular destination, which can be tailored to include a French focus. Please click here to visit our Brittany page.
