I only recently found these videos. I wish Gwyneth would post more of them! I am one of those people who grew up in Wales on the border where Welsh is barely used, and have recently decided that I need to learn to speak my own language! I speak and understand more Welsh than many people I know, but I would still love to become fluent.

Thanks from Colombia! You are gorgeous!

[@mancuniancandidate9041]

Haha I've got to admit I'm struggling with these lol.. I'll pop back Gwyneth and just keep going lol Thanks x

[@ltreg007]

I agree with other comments made. Gwyneth explains clearly how to make Welsh sounds and I would love to see more of her videos. Diolch yn fawr Gwyneth!

[@christianfwilliams1]

Hey there. Just to ask...can you consider making some more videos? I found that you explain them very well and it's not just like a text book, which I've done, but doesn't stick as it's not conversational. Hopefully see some more added. Christian. x

This was incredibly helpful! Answered a lot of questions I had, wish I’d seen this first. Diolch!

[@jsa-z1722]

Thank you for such clear explanations!

[@maximelizarev2384]

I thought I was on top of the world when I perfected my English and German. This sounds like a never ending project)

[@danow2230]

I really enjoy your videos, well done

[@lauraann3352]

So cool to learn the phonetics of Welsh!!

[@edwgwilymedwgwilym2827]

A good and helpful video. Thanks

[@pattenpatti]

Thank you again

[@kamilfrancoolczak]

Maybe the difference in I and U was sometimes like ‘ee’ an ‘yee’ . Just as why U is called ‘Yuu’ . What do you recon?

This might sound a daft question but is this for southern welsh speaking or northern? I have moved to a part of Snowdonia where they kind of have their own way of saying things. So learning a northern pronunciation would benefit me. Lovely video. You have a nice way of putting things across.

[@melsaunder9251]

Im answering my own question! I listened a bit further!

[@wren_bean]

Would I be wrong to compare the Welsh u to a German ö? The tongue shaped to say the "ee" as in green but the lips shaped to say "o" as in "low". I could be wrong but they look and sound similar to me

[@nachi1588]

You will enjoy learning Hindi. We have the same short and long pronunciation.

Pan on i ‘n dysgu Cymraeg, mae i yn i dot, mae u yn i bedol.

[@Melvorgazh]

Y verch pert wyt ti! X 😘

[@alexschebartsky274]

May we know if welsh is your first language? Some welsh people learn it at school but it seems to me that you have it as your first language :^0 perhaps I'm just wrong though

[@ladymorwendaebrethil-feani4031]

The vocals pronunciation is the same of the portuguese.

[@renzoaurazoaurazo2496]

Hi, I don´t know if you are aware of but most of welsh vowels pronunciation are similar to spanish vowel pronunciation.

[@alexschebartsky274]

Um not really, like not at all German vowels (not Die Umlaute) DO sound like spanish vowels.

[@diracify]

diolch yn fawr

[@hume7171]

Great job and you're attractive.

[@cigh7445]

Learning Welsh: Here's how you say the vowel sounds of the Welsh language... Meanwhile in Ireland: Just use the English vowels you'll be grand, you don't need to bother with them to pass your leaving cert. Learning Welsh: Here's the Welsh consonants and how to voice the lenitions... Ireland: What are lenitions? Don't worry about that you don't need to sound like a Gaeltacht bogger to pass your leaving cert. Wales: The Welsh R is rolled like this... Ireland: Irish broad and slender r's? Don't bother learning them, just use the English one for both. It'll be accepted in the leaving cert.

[@maximelizarev2384]

Now I feel much better)) Thank you.

[@seanhartnett79]

This is funny. So learning welsh is hardier than the language I am trying to bridge.

[@sylidebreizh007]

Diolch yn fawr. Dw i'n dysgu cymraeg a dw i deall.
