Learn Welsh: Lesson 16 - Revising the Present Tense (South Wales)

In lesson 16 we revise the Present tense (Things that are happening now) and I also introduce the word Mynd (To go/Going), which is a very useful word. We use Mynd to make lots of sentences and questions about places we are going to. For example, going to the shops, going to see friends, or my favourite, going to the pub for a pint or two, or three, or four... 😀

I thoroughly enjoy your lessons. You explain things so clearly. It is good to escape the troubles of this world by learning a little of the language of a peace loving nation. Welsh should be made compulsory in schools throughout the U.K. It is a fascinating language and trains the mind like Latin.

Jason Shepard, thanks for making Welsh grammar a usable tool, instead of a dreadful burden! Diolch!

[@dancyprus6863]

Thank you for your efforts in making and uploading, very much appreciated :¬)

Sometimes I wish that there were no differences between north and south Wales Welsh. I personally prefer to speak and learn the south wales welsh but the trouble is, on the internet and most learning resources teach mainly in the north Wales Welsh. Could you make a playlist on your channel separating the two and make more content for South Wales Welsh please?

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

There is already a playlist on the channel Separating the two. Also I’m from South Wales. I teach with a South Wales accent and my Welsh knowledge is based on South Wales Welsh. I have studied some North Wales Welsh over the last few years so I can add some North Wales Welsh content to the channel. I don’t want to leave anyone out.

At 2:15, my foreign brain went like HELA'R DRYW BACH INTENSIFIES lol, music is really a good way to enforce a language in one's head

Shwmae Jason, would you be able to do a video dedicated to the pronunciations and spellings of various Welsh names?

[@lidiaelizabethdavieswillia6451]

[@elainejones9299]

Hola jaja

[@carolrowland5887]

Thank you Jason is there a lesson 17 South Wales unable to find it on You tube

[@oceanwanderer8065]

Thanks Jason, my pronunciation is improving but I thought the letter Y sounded like "UH" yet also "IH"? in words,that confuses me a bit.eg MY"IH"ND or MY"U"ND, how to tell the difference in the word "MYND"? could it be M"IH"ND or M"U"ND? I can't wait for the anthem tutorial I have been trying to pronounce the words for the last two weeks! and thanks to this podcast I'm doing better than expected!

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

You’re right that the letter Y has two pronunciations. An uh sound and e sound. The general rule is that Y is an uh sound except for the last but one syllable of a word when it’s an e sound. But as with all languages, rules are often broken, such as in the word Mynd, which has a slightly different Y sound.

[@oceanwanderer8065]

Much appreciated,thank you.

[@iancartier77]

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Jason. Rwseg dw i ond dw i'n hoffi Cymraeg!

[@RRTNZ]

Diolch Jason, dw i'n angofio y "negative forms" yn aml.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Mae’n iawn. The more you use the negative forms the more you’ll remember them. And we’re going to revise the forms in the next lesson which should help.

[@user-zw2qp9db5u]

Thanks a lot)) but too much explanation in English, the subtitles would be pretty enough))
