Welsh · Cymraeg · AI speaking partner
Welsh, spoken, mutations and all.
A million people are learning Welsh and most of them have nobody to speak it with. The classes end, the Duolingo streak continues, and in the shop the conversation still happens in English because the first mutation freezes you.
Your AI partner talks with you in Welsh every day, in the North or South forms you choose, corrects the mutation on screen without stopping you, and keeps going.
Cymraeg
Unlock your Welsh fluency
Speak from day one. Real conversations, corrected out loud.
Why Welsh is hard to speak
What stops learners talking, and what fixes it.
Mutations
"Cymru" but "yng Nghymru" but "i Gymru". The first letter changes with what comes before. Rules exist; reflexes come only from speaking with correction.
Verb first
"Mae hi’n bwrw glaw" (is it raining). The sentence starts with the verb and the English habit fights it every time.
North or South
"Llaeth" or "llefrith", "nawr" or "rŵan", "fe" or "o". Choose the Welsh of where you live and your partner keeps to it.

Questions
Before you start speaking Welsh
Does it help with the Welsh for Adults exams (Mynediad, Sylfaen, Canolradd)?
For the oral parts, daily conversation with corrections builds what the examiner assesses. TalkNative does not run the official exams.
Can I choose North or South Welsh?
Yes. Say which at the start and your partner keeps to that vocabulary and those forms.
Will the AI switch to English like people in Wales do?
No. It stays in Welsh unless you ask for a translation, and even then it comes back to Welsh. That is the conversation you cannot get in the street.
Is Welsh practice free?
Every module has a free taste with no card. Full access is a one-time payment for 30 days.
Your first Welsh conversation takes ten minutes.
Out loud, corrected, in any of 57 languages. No card to start.
