Coleg Llanymddyfri in its own words
In its own words: "Welsh has two words for “to know”. Gwybod is to know a fact. Adnabod is to know a person - their character, their story, what makes them light up. There is no English word for it. There is a school for it. In a very large school, a quiet child can pass a whole year politely unnoticed."
