Proud and excited to announce the launch of geirfan.cymru - a new online dictionary designed for adult learners of Welsh, based on a project to create frequency lists from the CorCenCC corpus of modern Welsh. @geirfan

There are 60 entries in the pilot version of the dictionary, and more to come. Feedback from users will help me improve and refine the content, and guide future development.
