great love it do more welsh songs

Diolch yn fawr. Very pleased with myself, I answered all 11 questions correctly. I have recently started to learn Welsh as I left Wales in 1966, but these were words/ phases that I learnt in primary school and still remember. Da iawn.😊

There’s a Llaneast Street in Melbourne, Australia, and the tram next stop announcement voice actually pronounces it the Welsh way

Shwmae Jason! On the duolingo app there are some times where the r is not rolled. For example the word "traeth" is pronounced with a sound more similar to the start of the english word "church" rather than a rolled r. This confuses me a bit, so I'm wondering if there are some exceptions to the rule of using a rolled r, or if this an error from Duolingo? Diolch!

Thx!

Cwts (Welsh language spelling) or cwtch means not just a cuddle but a comforting cuddle. It can also mean hutch e.g. chicken cwtch, or even a dog's bed. In valleys homes you would often hear "go cwtch" said to a fussing pet dog.

Well, that wasn't so hard. Thanks for a great explanation, unlike Google. 🙄

What ! No sheep?

Thanks ao much!!!

This turned up on my Home Feed Today (13/08). I was intrigued so I watched. What a Bloody Brilliant Idea!!! Fantastic Stuff!!! Possibly somewhere back in my Ancestry I may have had Welsh Blood, because this Anthem at a Rugby Match Moves me like No Other. I have had the Great Fortune to Stand at Cardiff Arms Park twice in my Life & have this Magnificent, Passionate, Spine Tingling & Goose Bump Forming Wave of Pride & Passion Wash over me, leaving me with a knot in my Throat & a Tear in My Eye .......... & I Knew Fear! Then watched My Team Answer With a Haka! Those of us Kiwis who Followed The Mighty All Blacks over The Seas, Knew we were in the Spiritual Home of All Rugby when we Stood at Cardiff Arms Park. noho kasha tonu ōku tuakana Welsh Stay Strong My Welsh Brothers!

No treiglad meddal after the ‘ga i’?

What you don't hear any more is the superfluous use of "do". Particularly in the Eastern South Wales valleys, you would never say something like, "I like that". Instead you'd say, "I do like that", but the pronunciation of that phrase would be more like, "I duh like tha'.." or even, "I duh like 'ah'...". "That" was often pronounced tha' but sometimes just 'ah', ..."then" was always pronounced 'en ... and the phrase "I'm not" was rendered... I ent, or, if followed by a verb, simply...I en, as in ...I en 'avin' i'...! (I'm not having it). When I was in the navy I sometimes brought a mate or two home with me on weekend leave. Of course we would visit my local and it was loud and most of the conversation was unintelligible to them. On the first occasion, I was speaking to some of my local Welsh friends and my two shipmates were looking confused. They leaned towards me and one of them said, "You've never told us you could speak Welsh" Laughter all around, I, like my Welsh mates, was speaking upper Rhymni Valley English.

the is a Scottish song in Argentina that call croc chan

Are cwpi down"...or " twti down" still used in the valleys for crouching down or sitting on your heels?

Tamping down refers to rain falling heavily.

Sorry 🥺 I’m different from other people 😈👿

New to the language. This is excellent, thank you x

Diolch for sharing your lovely sweet mother. I think she would be a wonderful best friend. Jean, I wish I was young enough to ask your permission to try and convince your son to marry me 😍

To me, it sounds like "schl"

Diolch! 💖💖

Beautiful singing voice Jason. ❤

I dunno what's going on or if an absence this long is something normal and not to be concerned by, but in any case here's a humble request: please do continue making videos :( (I want to move to Wales and I try my damn hardest to learn the language before I settle over there, and your channel really helps me a lot.) Greetings from Germany!

in all fairness, stage actors are taught to exaggerate accents and gestures onstage so that they can be understood by everyone

Wait....this is what i heard Bit a deckh in new hi...

I’m part welsh so it’s only fitting

"Iawn" will do for most circumstances 😂

Sut is pronounced sit in south Wales? Where ur from, curious make it sound like there is a h there? Isn't that North Wales, confusing same word but sound completely different.

One year of practice and I will be able to pronounce Llewellyn

As a Scouser. Da bo chi is were we would go to place a bet

That’s rather similar to how you pronounce the R/L sound in Japanese, apart from blowing air out from your cheeks. You put your tongue up there like you would when you’re making an R sound, but instead you make an L sound and it comes out like a hybrid of the two. I might have a leg up on the Ll sound!

Fab video - I am learning this to sing at the start line of the Cardiff Half Marathon in October!❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Diolch yn fawr iawn! Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg hir amser achos dw i ddim yn hoffi Cymraeg yn yr ysgol uwchradd, ond dw i'n dwlu a'r Cymraeg a Cymru nawr 🥺as you can see I'm still not the best at Welsh, but I am so thankful for videos like yours to help expand my vocabulary ❤

I'm a Scots rugby man, this is like a religious experience for me. I love the Welsh anthem, there's absolutely nothing like hearing you lads & lassies belt it out.

Thanks! I'm only a little bit Welsh but my name fist name is, the culture is so very intriguing, and this is the language I have chosen to learn. I want to sing this song for a school competition and this is a lovely way of making sure my pronunciation is correct. All the love from North Carolina!!

I planned on learning Welsh as my 9th language, but it's moved up to sit next to Spanish, Swahili and Swedish, the languages I'm currently learning (they're languages 3-5). I already love Welsh a lot, it's a great reference for my conlangs too.

If you speak my dialect in German, hwyl is easy to remember, because it's similar to heil, which just means hello. Edit: also I think I'm pronouncing the chi too harshly, my throat hurts.

Thank you so much! Im going to Wales soon and this really helped ❤❤

Thank you! I truly enjoyed it! Well done!

I'd say the 'North Wales' version of Hello would be 'ti' iawn'

"scribbles on a notepad" thanks alot for this :D. i'm writing all these all down for my dnd char.

diolch yn fawr, jason! rwy'n dod o'r ariannin - patagonia (chubut) ac rwy'n dysgu cymraeg. in my hometown we call pancakes "ffroes" although i've seen welsh people call them "crempogs". diolch for the lesson!

I love visiting North Wales and I love learning from your videos. Thank you so much ❤

I love the way you teach welsh. I really enjoyed listening to you thank you ❤ You sound like my father.

In my dictionary there are 15 pages of Welsh words starting with 'gw' and not one word in the English Dictionary starts with 'gw' which attests to the Distinctiveness of Welsh and the fallacy of automatic borrowings from a neighbouring country. Diolch yn fawr iawn. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

thank you.... i am a welsh from canada my last name is welsh and im loving my native welsh

I can manage that in most words, but Pontcysyllte beats me every time. Have you any advice for that?

I'm English bur I love Wales. You're national anthem is amazing. Ours is piece of hit

I am American but of Welsh descent. My family left Wales when all the mines shut. They then moved to Wisconsin to work in the mines there. I am now interested in learning the language of my ancestors. I have been to Wales. Travelled from Cardiff to Cynwyd. Which videos would you recommend I Start with?
