Linguist nerd here. I have been learning Welsh on my own for over 3 years. I went to Wales 25 years ago. Was fascinated by the language. I love learning Welsh.
Alabama, USA. Day 32 on Duolingo. I am learning because of poetry and music and because I have a soft spot for the underdog, and possible roots in the area, but mostly because it’s a very dormant time in our history with the lockdowns and I just wanted to learn something new. I learned to play violin two years ago and my husband sings and composes music. I write our lyrics and we are I need to do some composition and recording of calm music with poetry or speaking to help people with relaxation and I thought speaking Welsh could sound calming and poetic without making someone’s mind really understand what is said. Brandy and jerry music. Com (free access on soundcloud so not an advert). soundcloud.app.goo.gl/W3RnX5Xxjue6VwSq8 Also on soundcloud is the relaxing music we have already done with poetry i mentioned. soundcloud.app.goo.gl/zNYjCbuXBDWutWBHA
Personally, I feel solidarity with Welsh speakers. There are languages that (for some historical reasons) were marginalized by a “stronger” and “more prestigious” language. It’s the case of Ukrainian in Ukraine, Belarusian in Belarus, etc., etc. And in all these cases we hear the same thing: “Why on earth do you need Welsh (Ukrainian, Belarusian) if ‘everyone’ understands English (Russian)?” So, I’m happy that Welsh people continue to speak their beautiful language and are trying to revive it. It’s great!
I read Tolkien's biography by Humphrey Carpenter and it talked about how Tolkien found the language through passing boxcars that came from Wales, he fell in love with language right away so i decided to look it up myself and i fell in love with it to. So that's why i started learning it
S'mae...I started learning Welsh with duolingo a few months ago and now from the web too. I just love the Celtic languages (and people), spent 10 years learning Irish. I will stick to Welsh and have given myself 5 years to get fluent. At first I experienced the same slight setbacks learning Welsh as Irish what with different dialects etc and not having a standard version like with English.... but it's all good. Diolch yn fawr, hwyl rŵan.
I just started learning it! I started learning new languages on my own a few months ago, and I’ve been learning Dutch & Swedish & Italian for about 3 months, and Norwegian for about 6 weeks, and about 2 weeks ago I also started memorizing new words in French & German (I knew about 1.000 words in each since childhood, from lyrics and German TV etc) and, now I just started learning Welsh! I’m also trying to improve my Portuguese, and trying to get to a writer level in Spanish - I am native speaker level in Spanish at the moment (over 10.000 base words) as I learned Spanish in childhood from movies and TV series, but I am now trying to learn more words to get to at least 30.000 words! I’ve also been trying to find videos teaching OId English and OId Norse and Norn, but I couldn’t find vocab videos yet! I have about 38 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve!
I fall in the first category. My maiden surname is Price (ap Rhys in Welsh). I am American and my Welsh ancestors came here a very long time ago. When I got really into genealogy, I learned that Wales and Welsh is unique from England and English. I am very educated, but facts and information about Wales were not widely publicized or taught when I was growing up. I learned that my Welsh ancestors spoke Welsh here and even had newspapers written in Welsh here in the US in the 1600's and 1700's. I felt very sad that I had this Welsh surname and had so many Welsh ancestors, yet did not even understand Welsh history or know that there existed a Welsh language, and so I started learning it a little. I think the ancestors would be very proud. Thanks to all of the Welsh speakers that make and post videos about Welsh language!
I'm learning Welsh , I was born in Cardiff , Live in Abertillery where no one talks Welsh around here sadly , Learning Welsh was Denied me in school 70/80's .... So I've taken it on myself to learn now at 53 ... It's difficult and frustrating but I'm making progress all be it slowly ... Thanks for your videos .
Pob lwc!! :) Feel free to send an email my way if you fancy some lessons :) - I do anything from total beginners to conversation practice! :) A da iawn chi am ddechrau dysgu!
Same here. I'm in the north east. When I was growing up here, most of the older generations spoke Welsh in their daily life, but my generation didn't. Sadly, most of that older generation has died out now, and you never hear Welsh spoken here anymore. I took Welsh at GCSE level, but that was back in 1992, and in between then and about two years ago, I hadn't bothered with it. Been learning again now for the last two years, but I'm also in the situation that there aren't too many people to practice with!
@@bujin1977 So I understand now, why I couldn't find a someone in "hello talk"! Just once I found a Breton who decided be as Welsh, but couldn't find own Breton in system account.
I'm english but my grandad was welsh. He never taught us unfortunately, he was too shy 😄 so I am learning to keep it going. Beautiful language, country and people. Thank you so much for your uploads helping us to learn 💖
I love what you had to say. Welsh is a very soulful and poetic language. I was inspired by listening to a CD by Damh the Bard on the Mabinogi and when I heard the words I was enchanted and wanted to pronounce them. Also my Welsh family tree goes back the furthest and the characters like Bran and Branwen and Urien etc in the stories are on my tree which makes learning Welsh a great homecoming. Yes I am retired….too.
Well, I'm Russian, and some Russian researchers claim many old languages originated from the Old Slavic language. This is one of the reasons to learn more from the past. Another reason is that my soul has always wanted something ... Celtic, and the Celtic language is also one of the oldest, still spoken by people. Also, the Celtic languages are incredibly beautiful. Now I am learning Irish Gaelic, as well as Welsh, and I can say that in sound, although not only, Irish is close to Russian - a lot of letter combinations are pronounced like the letters of the Russian alphabet : lEA(Я)bhar, mUI(Ы)ceoil, mairtEOI(Ё)l, innIU(Ю), and a huge number of soft consonants (Ь) and sibilants(Щ). I also try Greek, which, by the way, is generally full of letters that look like from the Cyrillic alphabet. P.s. I really like Welsh too, especially - "LL" :xD. So sexy :))) P.s. Those who are learning languages, or just starting out, can be taught in several courses at the same time. Personally, that's what I do. I not only have a course on "Duolingvo", but also on "Memrise", where there are often several different dialects that differ from what is on Duolingvo. P.s. 3 And the Irish and Welsh, like the Russians, have fought against the Anglo-Saxon yoke and influence throughout history. This brings it together :))
I want to learn it because it's beautiful, rare, and two of my fav fictional characters are from Wales! I'm from Argentina and only very recently I found out about the Welsh community, I'd love to visit it sometime (and Wales as well, obviously) Thanks for your videos :)
Living in the States, but have yet to visit Wales and I’ve wanted to my entire life. I’m from group #1. My DNA test says I’m 51% Welsh, and my mom’s side is super welsh, sings constantly, and love Welsh cakes and eating lamb. I always Heard funny Welsh words growing up and always wanted to learn it. Thanks for your channel!
Holidays in North Wales from a young age and still visiting every year. I've been promising myself I'd start for year's and years and now I finally have.... Struggling 😂 it's been a year and it's slow going but I'll keep doing a little every day!
So, I think I'm in the 1st category...My grandfather was born here in the US (Pennsylvania, where lots of Welsh people settled) and his mother and grandmother were born in Wales. I grew up with that flag everywhere. We don't know much about my grandfather's family. He moved out to the west coast and married a Native American women (my grandma) from a little town in Northern Nevada. I have quite a diverse perigee! Lol I would love to learn Welsh for my grandfather. I also want to learn about the Welsh people and the culture!
Some of my ancestors came to the US from Wales, but my primary reason for acquiring a familiarity with Welsh language has been my deep interest in the poet author Dylan Thomas and also the fascination I have for the1st Millennium church and saints of Wales.

Being that I was born into the Llewellyn clan.I would like to learn Welsh The only thing is I don't have anyone to speak to soooo, there's that. And for the record the united states is not part of Canada (where I'm from.) 🏴🇨🇦
I never imagined that inside the United Kingdom their folks would take their inherit ,ancient and native languages in practise . . .

There were NO celts in Britain or Ireland: not EVER. There is and NEVER was any Welsh word for "celt". "Celt" does NOT appear in any Welsh dictionary. "Celt" does NOT appear in any "Shakespeare" of the 16th. century. "Celt / celtic" is NOT mentioned in "Cambria Triumphans" a.k.a. "Brittain In Its' Perfect Lustre" written by Percy Enderbie in 1661AD. "Celt / celtic" is NOT mentioned in any Brythonic document before 1700AD. There are NO celtic histories on these islands: NO laws, customs, alphabet, language, poetry, documents, maps, kingdoms and NO place-names.
I'm an academic, so please provide references - I presume that all the books called "A Celtic History of Britain" etc are not empty. From my understanding, though, "Celtic" is a very debated word as it was possibly used by the Romans to refer to anyone who was not considered Roman. The idea of a pan-Celtic identity is hotly contested; perhaps Brythons or Gauls would be a more accurate term. And, of course, new DNA evidence suggests that the Welsh may have more in common genetically with those from the Iberian peninsula than those in Central Europe. However, these days when people say Celtic, I think we can assume it is a placeholder name to describe people of Welsh, Irish, Scottish, Manx, Cornish or Brittonic descent - even if it is historically inaccurate, words and language evolve over time, and we use certain words as shortcuts so that we don't need to delve into a pedantic history lesson every time we speak.. and so when I say "Celtic ancestry" I think we can mostly agree what I am talking about.
@@GwynethAngharad I too had always believed in the celts in Britain MYTH but then it was announced by Professor John R. Colliss of Sheffield University in 2003, that ... "There were never any Celts in Britain ! ". He wrote his evidences in "The Celts: Origins, Myths and Inventions" in which he (as chief academic archaeologist in all of Britain) exposed the entire British academic sytem and proved that the "myth" was EXACTLY that - a MYTH - created by government-controlled academia in 1700AD.. (His 12-paragraph summary on p.223 is superb) - Book ref: ISBN 0 7524 2913 2. Regarding the Scots, Irish, Welsh: they and the English too, have all had this "celtic" myth shoved down our throats for more than 300 years. It's like George Orwell said - The best way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their understanding of their own history" (1984). - Eric Arthur Blair aka G.Or..
For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that there are Russian researchers who argue that all peoples descended from the Russians, and all other languages and nationalities are relatively new, that we do not know the real history beyond several generations, and all the rest is lies. By the way, an interesting observation - pay attention to the map of the World. Doesn't it look like anything? And I see a huge Russian empire that once occupied the entire planet, and now is broken into a heap of fragments in the form of other countries. Who knows what really happened, given that we live in an age of information war, and recent generations, due to propaganda and rewriting of history, do not even remember what happened quite recently. There are many scientific and research articles about this, but most likely they have survived only in Russian, since we do not have such strict censorship, especially demoNcracy. Now so many things are purposefully destroyed: science, medicine, education, economics, as if they want to plunge human civilization back into the dark Middle Ages. And this is not surprising, because it is easier to control humanity and do whatever thou want with it, and also with the planet. Most likely this British never existed, and the Celtic heritage was deliberately destroyed by the British invaders. Maybe that's why people don't find anything.
The majority of the ppl learning welsh are children forced to do it. I hate the fact my 4 ear old has to do it, wasting his mind that could be better spent on other things. It's a waste of time and millions of pounds translating everything when everyone speaks English. Bws stop winds me up every time I see it. Keep it going all you want but stop imposing it on others that have no interest.

He wrote his evidences in "The Celts: Origins, Myths and Inventions" in which he (as chief academic archaeologist in all of Britain) exposed the entire British academic sytem and proved that the "myth" was EXACTLY that - a MYTH - created by government-controlled academia in 1700AD.. (His 12-paragraph summary on p.223 is superb) - Book ref: ISBN 0 7524 2913 2.
Regarding the Scots, Irish, Welsh: they and the English too, have all had this "celtic" myth shoved down our throats for more than 300 years. It's like George Orwell said - The best way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their understanding of their own history" (1984). - Eric Arthur Blair aka G.Or..
For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that there are Russian researchers who argue that all peoples descended from the Russians, and all other languages and nationalities are relatively new, that we do not know the real history beyond several generations, and all the rest is lies. By the way, an interesting observation - pay attention to the map of the World. Doesn't it look like anything? And I see a huge Russian empire that once occupied the entire planet, and now is broken into a heap of fragments in the form of other countries. Who knows what really happened, given that we live in an age of information war, and recent generations, due to propaganda and rewriting of history, do not even remember what happened quite recently. There are many scientific and research articles about this, but most likely they have survived only in Russian, since we do not have such strict censorship, especially demoNcracy. Now so many things are purposefully destroyed: science, medicine, education, economics, as if they want to plunge human civilization back into the dark Middle Ages. And this is not surprising, because it is easier to control humanity and do whatever thou want with it, and also with the planet. Most likely this British never existed, and the Celtic heritage was deliberately destroyed by the British invaders. Maybe that's why people don't find anything.
@UCKF1DOOgTHIUqqVXA2DqD7Q Thank you kindly. You will now provide evidences; at least nine: one from each category.
The majority of the ppl learning welsh are children forced to do it. I hate the fact my 4 ear old has to do it, wasting his mind that could be better spent on other things. It's a waste of time and millions of pounds translating everything when everyone speaks English. Bws stop winds me up every time I see it. Keep it going all you want but stop imposing it on others that have no interest.
