[@lewisbarrah8804]

We've all been there, don't worry!

[@Astavyastataa]

At least you didn’t accidentally summon a demon trying to learn Latin.

[@smtov497]

Idk if this is "weird" but that happends to me all the time

[@schmozzer]

Not always easy to catch but I have a house seven miles from Pwllheli and these are the phrases I hear. Cheers!

[@marcdavis4509]

She’s as beautiful as the language she speaks.

[@travisbickle2715]

Very useful videos. Thank you. Definitely notice difference between spoken and taught Welsh. Standard of Welsh language teaching not very good so had given up but now trying again by myself using available resources such as your videos.

[@lisamilsom5037]

Brilliant thank you! I'll be rewatching lots! I've been learning Welsh for a year now, it's slow going, this is just what I need to get a bit better with general chat!

[@garthhunt7238]

Great videos!!👍

[@ComeRee]

When greeting a close friend: "Iawn cont?" is also acceptable

[@danow2230]

good video thanks

[@tarottman3926]

I love it

[@garthhunt7238]

Great to know!

[@Mole95Gaming]

I love the last comment that is exactly what has happened to me on several occasions, when my Welsh cousins take me down the pub

[@drummingearth5326]

[@user-om2bw1cj1r]

Ti'n sgwennu yn da 👍

[@apeirogon9289]

I'm sure Gwyneth is well aware of this but an example of a rude phrase you might hear that is nonetheless a "standard greeting" around Bangor/Caernarfon/Menai Bridge (yn arbennigol deud rhwng y dynion) is "iawn cont?" :O I heard this many times and in surprisingly innocuous circumstances growing up and was always surprised by how casually it was said. Definitely not for first timers/learners though probably haha!!

[@RumAndWhiskey]

Please tell me people in Wales don’t drink Stella or Budweiser. That’s just sad.

[@lewisbarrah8804]

From my experience growing up in wales, it's mainly whiskey and cider!

[@gwynwilliams4222]

John Smith's for me and whiskey

[@eirailltyd6719]

Exclusively cider and wine here. I literally dislike beer apart from some stouts.

[@spark_6710]

I thought you drink gin like gin & tonic !?

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Ale here. Brains Bitter, Smooth and Dark.

[@edmundoferreira-rocha7400]

(Continuing) are thrown in the mix, but they are happy to slip a *licio* and a *plis*, for informality, among Welsh speakers. Think about that and don't shoot the messenger (foreign observer)

[@lewisbarrah8804]

Artois os gwellwch yn dda!

[@pauldavies9360]

Stela atwâ plîs

[@RaspberryHugs]

I remember having Welsh friends and they just taught me a load of swear words in Welsh. At another points I met other Welsh speakers (Welsh school since they were kids) and when I told them that they just said they are no Welsh swear words or dirty Welsh phrases. Which is it?

[@mew11two]

There definitely are swear words in Welsh, as there are in all languages. They probably just never learnt them since they learnt Welsh in school.

[@RaspberryHugs]

@@mew11two thanks they looked at me like I was stupid because I'm not from the UK

[@zoepeters3826]

@@RaspberryHugs saying there are no Welsh swear words is to be polite/respectful. My mam (grandmother) always says there are no Welsh swear words too.....but there are.

[@griffith057]

I tried those sounds and my mouth started talking back to me. Says I sprained it.

[@einat1622]

Even if learning - I would never try to pose as a native 😂😂😂

[@lewisbarrah8804]

If you did, you would get discovered almost immediately!

[@edmundoferreira-rocha7400]

Ok. I am neither _sais_ nor _taffy_, but I am a serious defender and promoter of things Welsh and Cymraeg as a beautiful heritage. So, for instance, I am very much against replacing Welsh place names with English ones or not playing the odd Welsh language song in English broadcasting radio or television stations. There is a real segregation, in my view, for a bilingual country. However, let me understand this: Someone learning the language is checked about wether he/she is of saxon origin, jokes and banter

[@blueysvensson2195]

Diolch Gwyneth

[@edmundoferreira-rocha7400]

By the way, thank you for the tips; I will try and find a way in which the likes of *likio, plîs*, and other unnecessarily borrowed words can be replaced with cool Welsh ones.😇

[@GwynethAngharad]

We have them ;) - hoffi, os gwelwch yn dda, etc.

[@lukereland4290]

Thankyou so hot

[@easywelsh9903]

Gwych :)

(awesome!)

[@benjaminklass5118]

Being a Sais in Welsh is like being a Soutie in Afrikaans.

[@kenjohan]

What's wrong with the sound?

[@justinwilliams6180]

How would i say that I am a Welsh American?

[@scarlettgabriella5458]

You would say "Dwi'n Gymro Americaniad" for a man, and "Dwi'n Gymraes Americaniad" for a woman :)

[@ColonelForkEyes]

Tell us more of these 'dirty things'...

[@lewisbarrah8804]

Cachu (pronounced cachee) - Shit!

[@linbarrington9348]

Diolch yn fawr. Dwi'n dysgu siarad Cymraeg. In an informal way, how could I say, "no, but I have Welsh heritage"?

[@CaveRescueMedic]

Na, ond dw’i wedi treftadaeth Cymreig.

[@craigmcvay1]

It is great to speak another tongue, however, WELCH is hard enough as its all voules. learning welch is all well and good providing you can remember it. And if you can you will forget the whole lot after a few jars. So there no need for welch to suspect your English as you will out yourself.

[@craigmcvay1]

@Geraint Thomas Realy, m not having a pop at Welsh people, the language does look as though a baby ran its figures across the keyboard?

[@CaveRescueMedic]

@@craigmcvay1English looks like that.

This is a good introduction to "Living Welsh," but the sound quality of the video is not so good.

[@gwilwilliams5831]

Interesting topic. When we lived in Cymru my dad who worked in a garej couldn’t get a drink in a pub on a dydd Sul which was his day off because they were all closed for religious reasons. Sometimes he would get so cheesed off by this strange law that he’d jump on his motor beic and roar off all the way to Flint which was 40 miles away which was the nearest place place in Wales which served beer on the so-called holy day. At the end of the evening after he’d had his pint and a gold old Welsh singsong he’d ride all the way back home. I suspect that religion was the reason he and others moved their families to England.

[@Vesnicie]

But I can't speak ANY language when I'm out drinking!

[@spark_6710]

Bery funny !👍🤣
