Aleighcia Scott Thrilled as Welsh Song Included in Drama Exam

The Cardiff-born reggae singer and presenter Aleighcia Scott expressed her happiness upon discovering that one of her songs is included in an A-Level Welsh drama exam.

Aleighcia began learning Welsh four years ago and released her first Welsh-language single, 'Dod o'r Galon', last year.

The single, which became the first Welsh-language song to reach the top of the iTunes reggae charts, is now the subject of a discussion in a drama exam report, the singer revealed while sharing a photo of the exam paper on her social media accounts.

"When I started learning Welsh four years ago, part of my goal was to encourage as many people as possible to start learning and using Welsh as much as possible.
I recently found out that my first Welsh single is part of one of the questions in the A-Level drama exam... WHAT?!"

She added that she is "so, so grateful for the Welsh language".

Speaking to Cymru Fyw, she said:

"I'm so happy to see this.
It's very important to me to see the Welsh language as part of everything and it's lush to be part of this as well."

Aleighcia described the experience as coming "full circle" since she began learning Welsh four years ago and now seeing something like this happen as "brilliant!"

Aleighcia Scott: 'I Want to Celebrate Welsh Women'

In a Nos Galan interview, Aleighcia Scott spoke about her love for learning Welsh.

Aleighcia is from Cardiff and of Jamaican heritage, with her grandparents having come from Trelawny as part of the Windrush generation in 1961.

Earlier this year, she discussed her experience learning Welsh and emphasized the importance of inclusion.

"People often say it's nice to see people like me in these spaces, but I definitely feel there needs to be more people like me visible.
That's part of the reason why I do what I do, so young people can see that they can be like the people they see.
For me, it's important that I am in these places, and it's important that I talk about the things I do because otherwise I feel they wouldn't be discussed."
