LEARN TO READ WELSH Learning 1000 words can help you to understand more than 80% of a language. Draig teaches you pure vocabulary so you can start your Welsh language journey with the strongest foundations possible. SMART REVIEW SYSTEM Draig uses the latest in memory science to optimally test your recall of learned words. Over time, you will be able to instantly recognise and reproduce all the words taught without ever feeling overwhelmed. Draig also encourages you to learn at your own pace - If you don't feel able to learn new words at a particular moment, you don't have to. AN HONEST LEARNING EXPERIENCE Draig won't make you fluent, but neither will any app. Draig builds your foundation of vocabulary so that when the time is right, you can turn to theory and immersion with confidence.
