Yes, please. I would love to watch a video about Y Ddraig Goch. Diolch yn fawr.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Da iawn!

[@NiallMor]

Mòran taing for the stories and links about Scottish dragons, Carl. As it so happens, I'm in the middle of a solo roleplaying game, and my characters are just about to encounter a sea dragon themselves. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. 😉 Chì mi a rithist thu, a charaid!

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

'Se do bheatha!

[@Sommervillle]

Great video! I can trace myself all the way back to Sir John Somerville ha

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Sgoinneil! Let me know if you see any Wyrms about...

[@Sommervillle]

haha ill keep you updated! Quality video mate thank you!@@CarlsLingoKingdom

[@ioanstokowski1647]

I love how dragons are not only a ubiquitous cultural reference, but an everyday insult: "Cafodd y ddraig anrheg newydd ddoe -- tost!" (The dragon got a new present yesterday -- toast!) 😂

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Whaaat?? How is that an insult? 😂

[@ioanstokowski1647]

@@CarlsLingoKingdom True 😂. There are days toast is all we can afford. But when someone makes it for you, I'd say that's an anrheg da 🥰

[@JenXOfficialEDM]

Was that on Duolingo? :) Did he get parsnips too?

[@ioanstokowski1647]

@@JenXOfficialEDM 😂🤣😂 Yes, sadly that's about as sophisticated as my Welsh gets. I'm trying to learn and I'm committed but it's slow going. Wish I had learned when I was young!

[@JenXOfficialEDM]

@@ioanstokowski1647 I can help you if you like!

[@dmnd7]

you will definetely help me learn gaelic 😊

[@henriettaabeyta1457]

It's wider than modern writers will usually admit, and lots of people don't pay attention to how invasions changed some close related languages. Are you willing to be bilingual? because to really speak old Gaelic that would be necessary.

[@dmnd7]

@@henriettaabeyta1457 Probably just learning basic fluency to fit in with the cool kids

[@amierobertson5195]

Hey! Love the vid :) I'm from Scotland and writing a children's book with Scottish mythological creatures- any chance you know how to pronounce the word 'Beithir'? Type of dragon like creature can't seem to get an answer on that!

[@Aczie042]

The story of John de Somerville slaying the Worm of Linton sounds a lot like St. George and the Dragon. Even down to the way both men slayed their respective dragons; on horseback, with a lance.

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

You're right! Seems to be a trend...

[@johndocherty7173]

Hello Carl i am learning Scots Gaelic. i have been doing some Duolingo but not sure if i should start with james bonds course. What your preference

[@CarlsLingoKingdom]

Keep doing Duolingo and start working your way through Gaelic Foundations. If you don't have much time, do some Duo, and then later when you have more time do one of his lessons. :)

Dragons are the African serpent teachers they stumbled upon.. Shapeshifter but wise teachers..
