Thank you sharing this video. I’m from Argentina living in England and I’ve decided to learn another language, and yes I chose Welsh. I’ve started a month ago using Duolingo and I’ll start my lessons in September and I’m really looking forward to it. Diolch yn fawr!!

"Confidence is more important than correctness when you start learning a language". Tha mi ag aontachadh riut 100%! I've known too many Gaelic-learners who stutter and giggle and hesitate and never actually say anything for fear of getting it wrong, but never actually saying anything means they never learn anything, and they don't get the chance to find out what they *do* know because they're so nervous about what they *don't* know. A Gaelic-speaker can understand Gaelic that has all the ideas but dodgy grammar, or all the words but a funny accent... but they can't understand what you mean when you're not saying anything at all. Just talk, you'll get used to using mutations and yes/no and thu/sibh and genders and all the other stuff as you go along.

[@MarctheSwissIrishman]

An ceart ar fad agat! If you don't have perfect grammar or a perfect accent, that's not a problem! (who does, anyway?) If you're missing the odd word and have to say it in English instead, that's fine too. We'll all understand anyway (and those who pretend they don't should seriously sort out their priorities). What I find is such a pity with Irish Gaelic, but I'm sure it happens in all other Celtic languages too, is the mentality of "ah sure, I can't speak Gaelic to save me life, let's just speak English". At least try! That's the only way to get through life in general anyway.

Thank you. I used to love the Urdd Eisteddfods when I was a child. I used to recite poems. I was genuinely rubbish but that was never a barrier to my enthusiasm. Happy memories and apologies ....

[@alanbrunt3919]

This is a great message, thanks for sharing. I’m English but sincerely interested in learning Welsh and enjoying doing so. I’ve stumbled and been hesitant because of lack of confidence. It’s great for me and others like me to hear you say don’t worry that a small number might think you impertinent for even trying, just get in with it! That’s a really important message. Thanks again.

I've just started my journey with Welsh for no other reason than I want to learn it. I've had a hack at German and French, dabbled in Italian and Spanish so why not Cymraeg? This video is fabulous. Love the bit about Dickheads: So so true. Wherever I've been tripping over French, German, Spanish, Italian even bits of Finnish the vast majority of people have been more than happy to help because I've had a go with their lingo. I promise not to resort to shouting loudly in English :-)

Found out from ancestry DNA I'm 40% welsh! I've always thought I might be Italian because of my olive skin brown eyes and curly brown hair, now I see that I definitely look Welsh! Surprised that Welsh are so brown compared to other western Eroupeans, they look more southern Eroupen.

I tend to use a 'hack and slay' method for languages, which gets up the nose of the 'experts' in the languages I speak well (French, Spanish) while re my second tier (Portuguese, Catalan) I'm more humble because I will make mistakes. But tbh yes, nobody cares if you get the verb form wrong. Not knowing the actual word for something might be more of an issue. Welsh feels like a long and hard road and I still don't understand very much but I am getting there and your tips are good and well-received.

It is great and I love welsh and have even time to learn it as I have spent time there and have friends but.....the EU gave you a lot of money to promote your language as a minority EU language yet you voted out. Now you will have to rely on Westminster. Good luck with the English.

[@Knappa22]

I don’t agree with brexit but the Welsh Language Act predates our membership of the EU by a decade. In any case, by now, the language is a devolved issue for the Senedd in Cardiff, not Westminster.

Mutations are not grammar. Nonetheless, I agree with a lot of what you say. The subject of correctness comes up time and time again. It shouldn't. There shouldn't be an issue with it, period. It doesn't occur with other languages and the fact that it is so long standing is the fault of the Welsh learning providers (if their pathetic level of provision can actually be called that). If they even marginally competent then there would be no need for this video.
