The new Mamaliaid Prydain module is available now exclusively on ymestyn.cymru! Featuring twelve of our most beloved mammals, some common and some very rare, Mamaliaid Prydain is a fascinating look at how and where these animals live. Each lesson includes an annotated image and word list.

It does show that there's a gap in the market for non-fiction content, though.

Argh. I want to start working on my next non-fiction book and thought, y'know, I need to do the research in Welsh, rather than in English and translate. But I can't find a damn thing about half the animals I want to research because the Welsh web is horribly underdeveloped.
