The coffee mornings are held at the Willow Grove Coffee Bar, opposite the Victoria Gardens, Neath. The Willow Grove is a non-smoking gold award cafe and the menter's coffee mornings are held every Wednesday morning between 10.30 and 11.30. A warm welcome is extended to all Welsh speakers, anyone who has learned to speak Welsh and all those brave people who are going through the process of learning to speak the "language of heaven". So, why not come along for a chat and a cuppa!

Welsh for Adults Programme
Thousands of adults in Wales are currently learning the language through the The Welsh for Adults Programme.
Here you'll find information on why people learn Welsh, how and where you can join them, plus a few useful bits of information to help you on your way. 

So why learn Welsh?
People learn Welsh for many reasons, some of the most popular are:
Career progression - Welsh language skills are becoming increasingly important in the workplace.
To speak Welsh with their children who are learning at school.
To take further part in activities in their local community.
Businesses too are realising that Welsh language skills can have a positive affect on their profits through:
Improving customer service.
Attracting new customers.
Gaining a competitive edge.

How and where can I learn?
There is a whole range of courses available for learners of all levels throughout Wales. Whether you're a complete beginner or already a welsh speaker and are looking to brush up on your skills, there'll be a course to suit your needs.

For quite some time now a group of people, both learners and Welsh speakers, have been meeting every Saturday morning at the Neath Port Talbot College Centre, Queen Stree, Neath. All kinds of activities are held there, e.g. speakers, quizzes, but the main purpose of these meetings is that Welsh learners have an opportunity to meet with other learners and Welsh speakers. So, if you are going through the process of learning Welsh and would like to meet others in the same situation, why not pop along to Queen Street, Neath for a chat and a cuppa between 10.30 am and 12.15pm. The meetings are held in the meeting room behind the office. Just walk in and you will receive a warm welcome.
