Should note with "s" the combination "si" (like sion) becomes the "sh" sound.

And the word "Ysbyty " (hospital) gives a good example of all three sounds at once.

Do you say reis and Beic as you would say the words as if English Bike and rice or nearer to bake and race

Good news I am fluent in my welsh sounds as i learnt in 2 hrs (by this channel with a work sheet aswell)and now i can make my cousins (who like railways) have fun. Yes I know how to pronounce, Llanwrtyd,Caerdydd and others. A big thanks for Welsh plus for teaching me different ways to speak welsh? (I speak a mix of the welsh dialects)

0 0:28 i thoguht that was a railway station i got mixed with Pen*helig (* or pengam) woth machynlleth

What about the middle like Machynlleth or Dyffryn Ardudwy

0:58 no. 괜찮아요.

1:25 나는 무서워요...

3:50 it didn't go well at all...

So, the non-final syllable 'y' must also be unstressed so that it acquire the sound of "a" in "ago"?

I'm neither Welsh nor am I from that side of the Atlantic. But I have a character in my book series that speaks Welsh, and while she speaks in English to other characters, she mutters to herself or curses in Welsh, she discretely insults people in Welsh (IE: "Yes, yes, whatever you say fy lembo), especially bad guys. She doesn't use it often, but whenever I can sneak it in, although I do occasionally try to hang a lantern on her Welsh. She's southern Welsh, and occasionally jokes that phrasings like "popty ping" was invented by the Northern Welsh to lure in people on holiday with cute sounding nonsense, because let's face it ... even though I live in Florida, USA, I'm well aware of how the North and South of any nation can treat the other half of their own countrymen, lol. Anyhow, I know this was posted EIGHT YEARS AGO, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate the both of you making wonderful learning tools like this. Thank you. I really do appreciate these videos to make sure that when I do use Welsh, it's in a manner that shows respect to the character and her heritage. I love that you show the difference between modern north and modern south, so that I can have my character pronounce phrasings correctly. <3

3:27 f**k you. just kidding, i like it.

When I listened to the pronunciation of the letters i and long y in northern Wales, I noticed that it is pronounced exactly like in the Swedisch language.

In Welsh, is the letter W also pronounced /w/ as in walk, like the English W?

I loved these videos so much that I put together an Anki "pronunciation trainer" deck using audio clips from the first few videos, modeled off of Gabriel Wyner's Fluent Forever pronunciation trainers. Would you be okay with me sharing this (for free) with, for example, the Reddit learnwelsh community? The deck has: - Cards for all consonants, long and short vowels, with an example word and image - Each of these gets one card where you hear a word and have to spell it, and one card where you hear the letter sound and example word and have to guess the letter - Tricky consonants get "minimal pair" cards, where you hear two words that differ by, for example, "r" and "rh" and have to note which is which It's a really helpful distillation of the ideas in the first few videos; I'd love to share it but would love your permission first. Thank you for the lovely resources you've put out there!

Just trying to pronounce the song name Y delyn newydd for my music exam 😅 help

The pronunciation of "tu" and "sur" sound like Russian "ты" and "сыр", so is the northern Welsh U = Russian Ы?

By far the loveliest Welsh teacher on the Interwebs, dioch yn fawr. This is how to teach language! The background music is a little too loud, though.

This is a good video. I think it would also be helpful if before pronouncing the words below each short and long vowel sound, you pronounce the short sound, then the long sound...then proceed with the pronunciation of the words.

I'm an American who is fiercely proud of my Welsh ancestry, and want to learn for when I go there.

That would be even better if the words were translated

I went to wales, I did like to read all the exotic words on all the signs like : dim parcio dros nos. I like the welsh word arraf and betws y coed 😁 Also you should look at the language brithenig , it is based on welsh orthographie, info is on the site ill bethisad.

Fun fact, ô is pronounced exactly like that in Portuguese as well and Northern Welsh "u" is pronounced like our atonal "e"(or Turkish "ı"). Very interesting!

it sounded similar to Icelandic for some reason especially the double LL and double DD

Thank you so much!!

Please can you make a video explaining when d, b and g are pronounced like 't', 'p' and 'k' 😢

These videos are so helpful, better than duolingo honestly, I’m wondering why is this channel no longer active?

I watched this 3 times and I’m still confused 😂

1:43 chyllell. My tongue was dancing, trying to get the right pronunciation :)

Finally!!! It’s all clear to me!! Just moved to Mid Wales last year and trying hard to learn this beautiful yet complicated language! Before I started learning Welsh, it was like a jigsaw puzzle to me! Like a made up language with no vowels 😂 But it makes complete sense now! I’ve found the key to unlock the words in your beautifully presented videos. Thank you. Diolch!

4:44 i know its a diffrent language BUT WHEN YOU SAY THAT IN THE US thats when people raise an eyebrow

What is it for, even cant read, so fast. Annoying music.

Too fast, I want to read and think

God damn I’m proud of my Welsh heritage but damn… I’m from the south, can’t understand a lick of what you say

Now I'm even more confused as there is no 'j' in the Welsh alphabet! Do South Wales use a 'j' and the rest of Wales doesn't? I take it it's colloquial?!

These are great! So helpful!

feedback - you don't always leave a gap for us to have a go.

i’m still now sure how to do the nh, mh, and ngh sounds

I liked the idea of this video but stopped listening because of the music, sorry.

I have for a whole been trying to the pronunciation the name, "Llyd" (Kind of a tongue-twister!)

Im just starting out and found this channel when looking for phonetics! wonderful explanations in the following videos, thank you for such help and much love!

I decided to start learning Welsh today after accidentally stumbling upon a document from a random Welsh committee. Written Welsh looks so beautiful and ancient (despite looking like someone smashed their face on the keyboard) and spoken it sounds like someone making up words. Luckily I'm Spanish so there's familiarity with sounds :)

I'm American and kept wondering why they were saying not to pronounce an r if there isn't one in the word - Finally realized lol

Duo Lingo needs to take Lon from you but!

Caru ti fy cariad ♥️🤣

Dwi'n hoffi Ffrwchnedd yn y bore 🍌😁

I came here to find out why eu seems to be pronounced in two different ways: as English ay, and as i in bite, light. It seems to be the one diphthong you left out :(

Bore da. This is an excellent channel. Thank you for showing us how to learn Welsh. Diolch yn fawr. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

love it Thank you. Could you repeat the word or phrase at the end of each delightful discription. I have English wooden ears!
