My late mother and grandparents were all Welsh and fluent Welsh speakers. Sadly, my mum never taught me Welsh as a child but I heard it spoken regularly by family members and so picked up a few words and expressions. Now, in my mum’s and grandparents memory I’d like to become fluent. My mum would be so proud!!

I'm a native Arabic speaker, and have never been to Wales, and have no practical reason to learn it aside from pure curiosity and my devotion to the principle of keeping ancient tongues alive. I am rooting for this beautiful language (and all other endangered languages, like Assyrian) to flourish! All I need now is to somehow find a Welsh person here in Cascadia to teach me...

Welsh is a fascinating language because you can use it to translate Egyptian hieroglyphs. I must give it a go sometime.

[@LumiSisuSusi]

I'm Welsh and I've heard this before. Also, the ancient name for Egypt was Kemet which some say is related to the Welsh name for Wales, Cymru.

This is amazing! I'm Swedish, and I currently speak Swedish and English. My girlfriend comes from Criccieth, and I'm trying to learn some Welsh for her. She can speak fluently in Welsh and English perfectly, but I thought it would be nice for her to be able to speak to me in her first language a little bit. :)

[@SEEYAIAYE]

My Dad was born there so I decided to start learning it myself, would love to visit his side over there one day myself. Obviously this channel is great for learning it, you should also give Duolingo a go too, although it uses only one dialect of Welsh. It turns it into a fun challenge trying to top the leader boards and rank up leagues. It's free and on all platforms but it's always pestering you to upgrade to premium. cymru am byth! pob lwc gyda'ch astudio.

Being dangerous to begin with in small phrases it was a true pleasure having the opportunity to visit the beautiful country of Wales were family roots were planted. Wish more Americans would have the same passion to learn their heritage and ancestral habits. Could be a much better "American melting pot" if folks took the time for such endeavors.

Since Wales' impressive performance in Euro 16, I've been interested to know more about the country which almost never makes the news.
