What Duolingo couldn't do for Welsh
Duolingo treated Welsh like any other language. But Welsh has features that need specialised tools.
No mutation drilling
Dedicated treigladau drills: soft, nasal, and aspirate mutations practised until automatic
No grammar explanation
Full grammar engine: verb conjugation, noun mutations, sentence construction explained and drilled
Generic spaced repetition
FSRS-5 algorithm tracking every word, rule, and grammar point independently
Course discontinued
Active development. Welsh is a core language, not an afterthought. New content every month.
Try a Welsh mutation drill
This is the kind of focused practice Duolingo never offered. Treigladau drills that target exactly what trips Welsh learners up.
Every answer uses spaced repetition. Get it wrong and it comes back sooner. Get it right and the gap widens.

Frequently asked
Did Duolingo really pause Welsh?+
Yes. The Welsh course is no longer being expanded and the content is increasingly out of date.
What's the closest replacement for Duolingo Welsh?+
blas. is the closest in format (lesson-based, mobile-first) and goes well past where the Duolingo tree stopped.
Will my Duolingo Welsh progress transfer?+
Not directly, but you can skip introductory chapters if you already know greetings, pronouns, and basic mutations.
