We’re teaching Cymraeg wrong: Is ‘bratiaith’ the answer? Stephen Rule (Doctor Cymraeg) A few years ago, a sixth-form student told me a story that stuck with me. She’d tried to use her Welsh outside the classroom. A perfectly reasonable thing to do after yea...

If we want Welsh to grow, the early stages of learning need to feel more like the real thing. This means exposing pupils to spoken Welsh as it actually exists, not just the idealised version found in textbooks ✍️ Doctor Cymraeg

We spent our childhood trying not to drown on the shelving Mediterranean beach-pretender that is Porthcurno. Here I am trying to capture the drama of the waves from a viewpoint next to the Minack Theatre

Sennen Cove is my favourite easy access beach. I love catching the waves and trying to capture this view towards Gwenver - a watercolour/multimedia view

'I based horror video game on working in a Scottish chippy' Developer James Muirhead said his old job provided the perfect setting for his latest creation.

It's not living in the past. For example, this new game features characters speaking Gaelic.

The Cornish speaking community is international. Ethnicity is an incoherent concept.

What we're promoting here is *culture*, which is very alive, but always under attack.

Do you observe that creepy celebration of consumerism that marketers have tried to forcibly connect to our civilization through cultural appropriation... or do you celebrate a millennia old tradition? Which way, #ModernCelts? 🤔 #CelticCulture
