I agree with the previous comment- yours is the best. There are others teaching on KZbin, and admittingly they provide you with useful vocabulary but you cannot help to notice that they are not native speakers. They lack that particular musicality in the pronounciation of the true welshmen which I find so charming in both welsh and english😊😊😊😊

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Diolch Ursula!

[@asseyez-vous6492]

The only thing musical about English is when someone is swearing like a fish wife!

I lived in Wales (Cardiff/Swansea/Valleys) for 10 years, I feel like it is my home. I know quite a lot of vocabulary just from exposure but never had the time to sit down and learn, especially things like grammar and mutation rules. I moved away a year and a half ago for work/family and feel like a part of me is missing. Thanks to your videos I am able to connect with this part of myself (and hear that accent that makes me feel at home) and I know that when I return I’ll finally be able to talk to my fluent friends without them laughing and teasing so much!! Thank you!!!!

[@CofusCymru]

Thank you for the podcasts, I've always wanted to learn Welsh and speak Welsh like my ancestors, Once again diolch yn fwar!

[@geoffminter2927]

I just subscribed to this page. I've wanted to learn Welsh for ages, the language of my great grandfathers. I can't wait! Lechyd da!!!

[@SalemSalamander]

I’m a few years late but I what to say thank you for making these videos I grew up in south wales and even though my dad is fluent he never taught me or my brother how to speak welsh, the best I had was school teachers who didn’t pronounce anything properly so my knowledge is still very limited. Still I’m trying to learn Welsh both for myself, and to surprise my dad and his side of the family since they all speak Welsh with each other and I want to be able to talk with them with out them having to translate. Anyway I’ve already been finding your videos useful since unlike my past attempts I can hear what I’m supposed to sound like and mimic it back which is my best way of learning.

[@mookiebuckner]

These are the best lessons for learning Welsh! Thank you and please keep making more!!

This is not the best or good at all since it promotes the misuse of big terms such as respect and respectability pronouns etc and dscrmntn against ‘younger’ beings - only the pronoun ti must be used for all hum’ns, as oIder people and employers etc are just an avrg citizen as every other hum’n, not some sort of ‘special’ being that must be addressed a different way, pfff! I am THE only respectable being aka THE Goddess / Leader / Queen / Princess / Lady / Star etc, and respectability pronouns are only meant for me the superior being, not for ‘oIder’ hum’ns or any other types of hum’ns! Chi can only be used when referring to me or addressing me or one of my protectors aka the alphas! And the word best only reflects me, and cannot be misused by hum’ns, and must be edited out! Also, all that informal / formal ns is to be b4nned - hum’ns must only use informal / normal ways of speaking when talking to any other hum’ns!

I find Welsh a very difficult language, quite unlike languages of the Germanic and Romance branches of the Indo-European family of languages. However, your excellent teaching method is enabling me to learn a little Welsh. Very enjoyable! Welsh is a fascinating language. Many thanks.

TI word is the same in Croatian. Spelling, pronunciation and meaning. We use it as informal form just like you. Interesting, isn't it? Croatian is Slavic and Welsh is Celtic laguage but they have this in common.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

That is interesting! I’ve just looked online and ancient Celts used to live near Croatia so that might be why. Our languages probably share some other words as well.

[@borishabric1862]

@@LearnWelshPodcast yes that is true. Celts used to live in Croatia but I think that their langusge was a bit different than Celtic on British Isles.

[@lauraironstalksms]

Hello, thank you very much for your videos, I'm finding them very helpful. I'm a Welsh beginner and really enjoying learning. Just a question I have, I seem to have been learning a lot of the North Wales Welsh without realising. Would I still be understood in South Wales and vice Versa? Thank you very much

[@montysvest]

hey , loving the videos, keep up the good work ! just one query, you say south walians pronounce "Sut" as a "Should" and north Walians as "Sit" just wanna double check that's right as literally everyone i have heard speak welsh (not many and mostly teachers) always pronounced it as "Sit" and was just wondering if we were some weird exception or just everyone i know seems to be mixing, cheers

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

joshua When people say North Wales Welsh and South Wales Welsh, its a bit of a generalisation. Each local area within South and North Wales have their own way of pronouncing words. So although most South Walians say should, it’s possible for some areas to pronounce it differently.

[@montysvest]

Learn Welsh Podcast ahh makes sense, in that case I'll stick with people around me, so when it comes to the word "Sutmae" should I then follow the north walian pronunciation of "Sut" as I'm guessing these two words are related in welsh ? or am I looking to much into nothing ?

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Yes! Sut and the first syllable in Sutmae are pronounced the same.

Welsh was the language of Britain before about the 5/6th C . It’s a common heritage.

[@xotbirdox]

I live in South Wales and in school, I was taught to pronounce sut as sit. I've never heard it pronounced should, hm.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

xotbirdox Depends on the part of South Wales you’re from. I’ve never heard anyone locally pronounce Sut as sit. I only hear it said that way outside of my locality. .

It always makes me so sad to see how Welsh culture has disappeared in the south so I'm trying to do my bit in reviving it haha! I get so fascinated with our history, culture and language. I really wanna be fluent one day. Diolch yn fawr for these lessons! They are really helping :)

[@dbharrold]

I live in Carmarthenshire and I am learning Welsh. Around here they say shut where the u is prononced like the u in the verb to put. Our teachers tell us about the formal standard pronunciation that seems to be decided by the authorities for the teaching syllabus but they then tell us how the word is actually spoken in these parts.

Is ‘ydw i’ more formal than ‘dw i’?

Beth yw’ch enw chi on google translate translates to “what are you” I just wanna make sure I don’t offend anyone in wales with this phrase!

Rhys Pattison Wow! Google got that wrong! I’ll break the sentence down for you. Beth = what. Yw= Is. The ch in front of enw and the chi after it = your and enw = name. BTW, what are you? would be Beth dych chi? But if you don’t want to sound rude try not to say it without adding words after it. Eg. Beth dych chi’n gwneud heddiw? = What are you doing today?

is it wrong to mix southern welsh and northern welsh words into conversations/sentences

You won’t be the only person doing that. For example, the town, Aberystwyth is in Mid Wales but very near the border of North Wales. They use a mixture of North and South words there.

Depends what part of England you're in. The pronunciation "aitch" is rather illogical, as it doesn't have an "h" in it, but is normal in the south (where "haitch" is often looked down on).
