Walter May, CEO of GlobalWelsh, said: “We are thrilled to formalise our partnership with SaySomethingin. Language is at the heart of Welsh identity and culture. By partnering with SSi, we’re giving our global community practical, proven tools to reconnect with or discover the Welsh language — whether they’re in Wales, across the UK, or anywhere in the world. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to enrich lives through stronger connections and shared opportunities.”

Aran Jones, CEO at SaySomethingin, added: “We’ve long admired GlobalWelsh’s work in building a worldwide Welsh network. Our method was born from a passion for the Welsh language, and we’re excited to support GlobalWelsh members in gaining the confidence to speak Welsh and other languages. Together, we can help more people engage meaningfully with Welsh culture and open new doors internationally.”

The partnership builds on an existing relationship, including previous business membership and member access offers. GlobalWelsh members will benefit from exclusive access, promotions, or tailored resources from SaySomethingin to support their language learning journeys.
