  • There is a new language learning hack that is becoming popular in the language learning community. The idea is to learn 625 words in your target language. Each set of words is broken up into categories that are supposed to be particularly useful for language learners. So in todays video we are going to learn more about this language hack and I’m going to teach you the Welsh versions of each word in the first section, which is all about animals.

    Cattle were so important to the ancient Welsh it literally became the word for good
    Da - old word for cattle
    Gwartheg - cattle

    It’s true what you say Jason. When I listen to Radio Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and hear a new Welsh word I understand I get really excited. Very enjoyable and inspirational. Keep up the good work.

      It is such a cool, underrated, and beautiful sounding language. If I ever have any children, I would love to teach it to them. Much love from Oklahoma. 💟

    Sutmae Jason from Melbourne!
    After many years attempting to learn the language of my ancestors I’m finally making progress with your enjoyable podcasts.I come of a Welsh family and my Dad was Welsh but I was born over the border in Cheshire ! My Grandad was a founder of the Transport and General Workers Union in North East Wales and served as a Labour Councillor for many years for Pen y Ffordd in Flintshire. He was a friend and close colleague of Huw T Edwards who was highly influential in union Labour and Plaid Cymru circles. Huw T was also a Bard of The Goresedd. It’s one of my ambitions to read his autobiography “Tros y Tresi” in its original Welsh!
    Best wishes John Ithell

    That was a great video!! I knew most of the words, it is the tenses that I really struggle with. I think that I would be able to navigate a menu or a simple tourist brochure, but to speak Welsh would be such a struggle.

      Hi! Part 2 is already out and is about words related to transport. I’ve recorded Part 3 and it’s the next video on my list to edit, so it should be out soon.

    It would have been nice if you'd mentioned the genders of the words, so we knew whether or not to mutate (when appropriate)

    • @LearnWelshPodcast
      @LearnWelshPodcast  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That’s an excellent idea. Diolch! I’ll start doing that in my next video.

  • @NoahNobody
    @NoahNobody ปีที่แล้ว

    It's weird how Welsh sounds a bit like Scouse. Like "cow" is exactly how you pronounce "book" in Scouse.

    • @LearnWelshPodcast

      Here’s a useful Welsh word to learn. Bricyllen. And it has nothing to do with apricots. Honest!😉

    One simple thing every welsh language misses IS the correct prononciation for thé welsh word for colours, everyone teaches the undividual colours but doesn't actually tell you thé welsh word clearly for "colours"...
    Even the kids song garbles the word in the song , so simple so frustrating

  • @philvanderlaan5942
    @philvanderlaan5942 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nothing to do with this video, but I have been watching the channel for quite some time now . As a history buf It just a occurred to me to wonder if there were any monuments to the great welsh secret agent Glyndwr Michael in Wales. And how much resentment is there about how MI-5 body snatched him ?
