Come on in
Welcome to S4C! Or perhaps it's welcome back, if you've been away for a while.
Whether you're taking your first steps in learning Welsh, looking to improve your knowledge of the language, or just curious, we're delighted to have you join us on the only Welsh-language television channel in the world.
This website is to give you all the information you need to feel at home with S4C.
If there's something else you think would be useful here, let us know!
To many people taking their first steps in Welsh it comes as quite a surprise to learn that we have a distinctive and vibrant Welsh-speaking culture, much of which might be entirely new to you. We hope S4C can be your door into this world, and we'll try hard to guide you as you begin your journey.
Learning Welsh
From Duolingo to Memrise and beyond, there are all sorts of excellent apps and sites available on the internet to help you learn Welsh. We at S4C are here for you on every step of your journey, and our programmes will help you to come to recognise and enjoy all the different sounds, accents and dialects of our beautiful language. We don't have a specific Welsh course – we prefer to leave that to the experts – but we will do all we can to provide content that supports your learning.
If coming here is your first step, you might want to check out our fantastic partner organisations, who have courses and tools to help you learn, wherever you are in the world.
