There was a musical finale to a Big Welsh Challenge afternoon of entertainment for more than 50 Welsh learners from North Wales who stopped off at the 成人快手 in Cardiff during a weekend trip to the city.

After a quick taste of 成人快手 canteen food, the visitors were guided around the Pobol y Cwm set by actress Gillian Elisa. They also had a tour of the main TV news studio and a talk from Newyddion and Radio Cymru presenter Garry Owen.

The visitors were then encouraged to exercise their vocal cords with Lyndon Davies from the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales chorus. After a short warm up, they still had enough energy for an enthusiastic rendition of the National Anthem, Calon L芒n and Sosban Fach.

"It was really enjoyable," said one of the learners, Alison Morgan. "It was interesting to look around. I've been learning Welsh on and off for quite a few years and I didn't understand everything but I certainly got the gist of the talks, and the singing session was brilliant."
Stuart Irvine from Bethesda agreed it had been well worth the coach trip. "It was a great experience and the welcome was fantastic," he said. "I learnt a lot about what goes on at the 成人快手 and I enjoyed seeing how Pobol y Cwm is put together. And of course the singing gave us a lot of fun!"
