Learn Welsh with an AI tutor
Don't memorize Welsh (Cymraeg) - have a conversation in it. Semantix immerses you from your first message: the tutor chats in Welsh with light English scaffolding, gently corrects you, and turns what you fumble into spaced-repetition flashcards automatically. A placement chat finds your CEFR level and a structured A1-B2 path of 18 units takes it from there.
