Acen Visit
Monday 12th December

This morning we went to visit Acen, an organisation for Welsh Language Learning. They have recently launched a joint online project with S4C, www.learnons4c.co.uk. The site is a great resource for Welsh Language Learners, from complete beginners to advanced level. The site features video clips of characters from S4C programmes, designed to help people learn welsh and improve on this foundation by watching the television broadcasts on S4C. Acen are also currently working on developing short video clips for Welsh learners that can be downloaded to mobile phones.

It was interesting to see how Acen's learning resources have shifted from magazine and book publications to online sites and CD-Roms over the past 15 years. They now even have a online radio station www.radioacen.co.uk that features Welsh music that has more than 12 000 listeners and is broadcast from Greece!
