Welsh Mynediad (Entry, A1) study guide
Welsh Mynediad (Entry, A1) · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Welsh for Adults Entry qualification - Mynediad, mapped to CEFR A1 - is part of WJEC's Defnyddio'r Gymraeg suite of qualifications for adults learning Welsh. WJEC describes the suite as giving candidates the chance to show their ability in speaking, listening, reading and writing Welsh at different levels, and the Entry level sits at the bottom of a ladder that continues through Foundation (A2), Intermediate (B1) and Advanced (B2). It is designed for adults who have learned Welsh as a second language or who are learning now, whether in evening or daytime classes, on intensive courses or on workplace courses. You do not need to be enrolled in a specific class to sit the exam, and you do not have to take the lower levels first - though at Entry you are starting at the bottom anyway. The Welsh Mynediad (Entry, A1) study guide has 4 sections and about 1,413 words.
