{{lang|cy|Dal Ati}} (Keep at It) is a series of Welsh language television programmes broadcast on S4C to help Welsh speakers and learners gain confidence in the language. It was launched at the 2014 National Eisteddfod of Wales.{{cite news |last=Morgan |first=Sion |title=National Eisteddfod: S4C launches new service to encourage learners |url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/national-eisteddfod-s4c-launches-new-7572341 |work=Wales Online |date=7 August 2014 |access-date=12 April 2015}} The series consists of two programmes, each an hour long, broadcast on Sunday mornings.

The two Sunday programmes include {{lang|cy|Bore Da}} (Good Morning) and {{lang|cy|Milltir Sgwâr}} (Square Mile). The former, presented by Elin Llwyd and Alun Williams, covers lifestyle topics (including items from recent episodes of {{lang|cy|Heno}}) in easy-to-follow Welsh. The latter takes presenter Nia Parry to different places in Wales to meet people and explore the location.{{cite news |title=Dal Ati Ydi'r Gyfrinach Hollbwysig i Ddysgu Siarad Cymraeg Yn Rhugl |url=https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-386414065 |work=Daily Post |date=18 October 2014 |language=cy |access-date=}}{{dead link|date=July 2021}} Later in 2015 a regular hour-long programme, {{lang|cy|Galwch Acw}}, put Welsh learners' language and cooking skills to the test.
