About the Book

Set out in the form of a memoir, Stephen Rule goes about tackling the challenges and celebrating the successes of the Welsh language in an attempt to establish the language as one which has the ability to live in the lives of the people of Wales and the world. As one who has learnt the language, earned his degree in it, and now teaches it to young people and adults alike, Stephen's personal journey to become fluent has been a nightmare and a dream, has opened doors to another world, and has urged him to challenge both the way Welsh is delivered via education as well as general stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding the language.Written in English, the book is arranged into six chapters; Cymraeg a Fi (Welsh and I - Stephen's own experiences of learning Welsh and how he overcame struggles), Addysgu'r Gymraeg (Teaching Welsh - ideas he uses on a daily basis that have worked to inspire learners of all ages), Dysgu'r Iaith (Learning Welsh - encouraging those who wish to take up learning Welsh or who can become frustrated with certain elements of acquiring Welsh), Pam Lai'r Ddwy? (Why not both? - questioning what place Welsh can have in the lives of the reader and the nation as a modern community), Amddiffyn ein Cymraeg (Defending our Welsh - the lengths to which people have gone, inspired by their love for the language, to ensure its survival as a living tongue), and Iaith Arbennig (A Special Language - celebrating how the Welsh language has shaped the lives of so many people as well as the entire world).The book can become a fantastic companion to people thinking about learning Welsh but aren't sure where to begin; people who are currently learning and attempting to deal with the challenges of the journey; teachers of Welsh in English-medium schools craving dynamic tactics and ideas not easily found in conventional 'how to' education books; people who speak the language and who are keen to aid a non-Welsh-speaking partner or friend on their own journeys to fluency; people who question the morals of supporting such an old language; and people of all ages who seek opportunities to ymfalchïo (take pride in) in a language that belongs to them as much as it has belonged to all its speakers across centuries. By following his own personal experiences - of being one with a burning desire to learn Welsh, went on to learn it, now teach it and, on a daily basis, attempt to share the delight and value of our language to others - Stephen's hope is that this book can inspire individuals (or even an entire nation, with a bit of luck) to realise what part the Welsh language can play in the future of our nation.In essence, this book is for anyone who possesses any connection to Wales or her language.
