I wondered if Simon was looking after his nephew or something. You know the one on weed who refuses to get a job of any kind because he has mental health issues.
I knew Simon was Welsh but didn't realise he was fluent in the language. Multiple thumbs up for rattling off the place name. Ben was hilarious ("I don't need to speak [Welsh], you speak enough"!). Really love how Simon engages with anyone and everyone with respect and humour.
@@ottoreitstock2465 doesnt matter if it sounds rough what matters he's trying, Many Welsh people dont care if you stutter or your Welsh isnt sharp its the thought that matters
Always genuinely warms my heart when I see any sort of promotion of the Welsh language - particularly to an audience as big as yours. Da iawn bachgen!!
Absolutely, you don't have to be Welsh to appreciate that, I'm English and love to see the language being used, in fact it's a disappointment when you see the hairdresser from Bangor yet know no Welsh, I'm not sure how that's possible in that area.
LOL this Ben is absolutely hilarious. Feels like Simon brutally forced him into Vlog and it looks hilarious. Looking forward to see Ben more often in adventures!
truuuuu. Poland wasn't that lucky after not existing for 123 years (literally) on the maps and were forbidden to speak our native language, we've got nothing but one native language left. i wonder how many accents and "local languages" died out during that 123 years...
Can we all give Ben a massive congratulations for being so naturally funny with his sarcasm😂🤙 really enjoyed the change in dynamic made for a brilliant watch💙
Probably my favourite video you’ve done, Simon! Would love to see more of you exploring Wales. Interviewing people in Welsh gets a perspective English speakers usually miss
Truly fascinating hearing so much Welsh, my grandad on mums side was born in wales and my great-grandad on my dads side was too, my great-grandmother used to shout “cau'r drws” which means shut the door but I’ve lived in England my whole life, my parents were born in England too, brilliant to see the Welsh keeping their language alive
I really enjoyed you speaking Welsh my late mum was from Wales she married an Irish man so sadly the Welsh side was forgotten, but when i hear the language spoken for some reason it makes me tear up so it must be buried somewhere in my heart. Love all your videos!
Can you show us more of Wales? Any haunted places or castles? It's really nice to hear you speak your native language. The people there are so friendly!
Man, I studied in Wales (Vale of Glamorgan, Llantwit Major) back in the day. This one hit close to home Simon, tons of nostalgia. What a beautiful place with beautiful people.
Brilliant to hear Welsh spoken ... English man here but its really important to increase the level of Welsh and preserve the languages in the British Isles.... How many speak Welsh as their first language.. Interested to know... Manx , Cornish, Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic need a boost and need to be taught and preserved as do local dialects .... Is Welsh different between North and south Wales..... Finally ... Ben is just so "Kevin and Perry" .... Hilarious.... Next Welsh place gotta be Snowdonia and Beddgelert....
Your brother is unintentionally hilarious 😂 welsh is a cool language, need to visit Wales sometimes the only country in Great Britain I haven’t visited even been to north Ireland. As a German I just love the people over there definitely gonna live there for some years later in life.
I really wish Welsh was more spoken in Wales, its such an interesting and historic language. So many of our smaller languages in the UK are either gone or at serious risk of dying out due to the dominance of English. Was good to see that those young lads at the start could speak and understand Welsh though.
@ 8:55 "Is this the only pub in the village?" Simon just channeled his inner Daffyd Thomas 🤭 p.s. great video mate, glad to hear Welsh being spoken, keeping the Real Bretain alive.
Yeah, i was definitely not expecting Simon to speak Welsh out of the blue, I know he was Welsh but it just came out of the blue! Great video Simon, cheers for the great content
Nice to see you in Wales again mate! There's actually village in New Zealand with a longer name. Its Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. It's on North Island, a bit south of the city of hastings! Hope to see Wales one day.
Known locally as Tamatea's Hill. and it's quite a bit south of Hastings, it's the other side of Pōrangahau. Ironically there is just a sign there and no hill of any significance. Or a nose flute.
Much easier nowadays to pick it up with online resources like Duolingo, SSIW, Welsh TH-cam channels, S4C on bbc iplayer etc., online Welsh teachers/exchanges
Gm from NZ. Blimming heck Simon I can not believe so many people speak Welsh and they didn't look surprised when you spoke so it means they must speak daily ..wow do they still daily speak Welsh to each other?? Absolutely darn brilliant ..happen to see this ..keep your culture strong mate ..🏴
Ben's attitude is unintentional comedy.
quite intentional
100% intentional you mean lol the accent aswell cracks me up
Modern day Alan Partridge, god love him

@@Saltybuher every one smokes weed these days, people who don’t smoke are the minority lol
Ben is a hero, "what do you want me to say? I'm freezing Simon" 😂😂😂
Ben “you speak enough” is so true 😂😂
One of your best. Love you communicating in Welsh. As an English man I didnt realise actually how widely spread Welsh was spoken! Its awsome!
I knew Simon was Welsh but didn't realise he was fluent in the language. Multiple thumbs up for rattling off the place name. Ben was hilarious ("I don't need to speak [Welsh], you speak enough"!). Really love how Simon engages with anyone and everyone with respect and humour.
Simon 👍🏴👍and Ben,😅
@l9zm A lot of them don't - 80% in fact.
@@Haerinx87 only 17.8% of Welsh people speak Welsh, so it’s a valid comment to be fair
@@davedavidson-g4j Closer to 25/30% . I have met many who think their welsh is not good enough but in reality they are fluent but lacks confidence.
Amazing Simon FairPlay u speak lingo
Simon : any last words Ben.?
Ben: thank God that's over
😂😂😂😂
Ben Wilson "I don't need to speak, you speak enough" - never a truer word said 😂
100% 😅
Genuinely so nice to hear you speak Welsh. Can't understand a word of it but still lovely to hear!!!
sounds quite rough

literally that was money, the best re intro of ben ever hahaha
Amazing to hear all the Welsh speakers! Having grown up in North East Wales speaking Welsh I need to pick it up again and learn it properly
Your brother gives off Carl pilkington vibes you need to take him to a foreign country with you 😂😂 7 wonders
Ben is Simon's brother? didn't know that and i agree with your statement i loved that show
@@sweet69latinothis Ben is his brother. Backpacker ben isn't his brother tho
I almost thought there was a big argument between the two of them in the back😅😂

Simon you HAVE to bring Ben along on all your adventures. The deadpan delivery is pure gold.
Which Ben? :D
Ben has the personality of a wet paper bag
This Ben puts backpacker Ben To shame
You sure its deadpan? He sounds as If he wants to be elsewhere.
😂
Really enjoyed this one Simon! Thank-you
I never knew you spoke fluent Welsh Simon! Learn something new everyday 😅 Keep up the great work!
Diolch yn fawr 🙏🏼🏴
he had to do something while eating all those big macs and tomato ketchup growing up to keep his mind working
Hahaha you can translate Simons comment and it turns the Welsh flag to English 😂😂 See the world believes Wales to be a town in England. 😂
Bruh reallly you must have selective hearing
@@SimonWilson12 strange that I can understand that language. I speak frisian and understand big parts of it
the juxtapostition between Simon and Ben has me in tears 🤣
I hope Simon invites him on more trips
Ben Wilson, what a legend! “Thank god that’s over”😂
LOL this Ben is absolutely hilarious.
Feels like Simon brutally forced him into Vlog and it looks hilarious. Looking forward to see Ben more often in adventures!
Crackbacker Ben !!
Ben Wilson is comedy gold! Got to get him on more videos! 😂
I've just thought the same, he's classic gold.
Love it
Ben is a typical sibling- but seems more 😊 like a teenager
are they brothers?
@MostlyLoveOfMusic Yes they are 👍
He was on the very 1st video I watched about Simon: The trip to Romania.
Brilliant video mate 👏
"what do you want me to say? I am freezing simon" 😂😂😂😂😂
Ben Wilson, what a legend 😅
Yeah, truly a man of few words.
inspirational quote
The welsh language is just amazing! Never let these languages die, it´s heritage
truuuuu. Poland wasn't that lucky after not existing for 123 years (literally) on the maps and were forbidden to speak our native language, we've got nothing but one native language left. i wonder how many accents and "local languages" died out during that 123 years...
Can we all give Ben a massive congratulations for being so naturally funny with his sarcasm😂🤙 really enjoyed the change in dynamic made for a brilliant watch💙
Ben’s dry humor is pure comedy gold! 😂
Loved every minute of this video! 💯❤
Finally a video speaking Welsh! Go to the Welsh-speaking area in Patagonia next!!
Now there's an idea for ya Simon. See if they can understand your Jacko/Rhos welsh..."Ydych y'n eisio... cup of tea mate?" 🤣
He just went there and did a video about that!
It's hilarious seeing the dynamic between Simon and Ben! It's like watching Dame Edna and Madge.
"I have got one - a Virgin Pendolino" - I don't know why but that had me in stitches 😂😂😂
It was his tone 😆
And the fact that the word "Pendolino" comes out funny when pronounced in British accent
@@guitaristssuck8979no such thing as a british accent
@@useryt205 I'll say Anglo-Saxon then to include even more accents!
Unintentional Partridge
He was buzzing 😅
Ben's a happy chappie 😅😅😅 comedy gold we need more of Ben's wit
I've never read that many subtitles in a Simon Wilson video 😂 Grumpy Ben is a nice addition as always, love his humor 😂👍🏻
You wanna whatch his Solo in Argentina video.
Probably my favourite video you’ve done, Simon! Would love to see more of you exploring Wales. Interviewing people in Welsh gets a perspective English speakers usually miss
Ben is a level set. Simon is like “hey nice to meet you. Tell me your story.” Ben is like “Are we there yet and can we go home now?”
My dad is Welsh, you’re making me want to learn the language to get back to my roots. 🏴
Say something in welsh is a great course, pob lwc 🏴
Go for it mate!
Duolingo is pretty good too, that's where I've been learning and a bit of SSIW plus TH-cam videos and S4C Wales football matches ❤
Ben is just going with the flow. He is so funny. He should start his own channel.
No, he's the straight man. He needs Simon as a foil.
So happy to learn about somewhere closer to home through your lens! After exploring the whole world, sometimes getting back to your roots is needed
Ben looks like a smackhead on a come down 😂
Truly fascinating hearing so much Welsh, my grandad on mums side was born in wales and my great-grandad on my dads side was too, my great-grandmother used to shout “cau'r drws” which means shut the door but I’ve lived in England my whole life, my parents were born in England too, brilliant to see the Welsh keeping their language alive
We need more Ben and Simon videos the dynamic is hilarious
You need to include Ben in every video, he’s class😂😂 every country you’ve been needs his personality 😂😂
Your brother is absolute gold in this video. Loved it.
„No I‘m alright, I‘m not taking this hat off!“ 😂😂😂
Get your brother on more videos! What a legend!
Yeah
Yeah , you’re mate Ben is a real spark plug ! Pure electricity 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoyed you speaking Welsh my late mum was from Wales she married an Irish man so sadly the Welsh side was forgotten, but when i hear the language spoken for some reason it makes me tear up so it must be buried somewhere in my heart.
Love all your videos!
❤
You should visit Wales sometime 😊
Love Ben’s enthusiasm 😂
Wholesome, genuine content. The contrast between you and your brother is superb, when he speaks people listen 😊
Ben is hilarious
"what do you want me to say? I'm freezing Simon"
Can you show us more of Wales? Any haunted places or castles? It's really nice to hear you speak your native language. The people there are so friendly!
There are load of castles near LlanfawrPG. Beaumaris, Gwyrch Castle, Caernarfon, Penhyrn. Would be a good video
Ghosts are not real but there are loads of castles and spooky places.
Fantastic video Simon. Hello from India. Reminds me of the glorious days I spent in Wales when I was studying in the University. What a country!
I’ve been there. In 1986. The weather was exactly the same. Cheers.
Ben is a vibe 🤣
Simon “ do you want to buy anything from the clothing shop Ben “
Ben “ no “ 😂😂😂😂 class 😂
What a lovely lovely man giving you a free tea. I will certainly pop into that pub when I'm in the area.
Love bens enthusiasm 😂 get more of him on the videos he’s quite witty 😄
Man, I studied in Wales (Vale of Glamorgan, Llantwit Major) back in the day. This one hit close to home Simon, tons of nostalgia. What a beautiful place with beautiful people.
Ben is Faf , that last comment and Simon cracking up done me 😂
Amazing to see people speaking Welsh! Great video Simon, that's how the area gets recognition and tourists!
Ben....a man of few words......but all golden!! LOL
Ben is so dry. He is a one man comedy show without trying. 😂😂😂😂😂
i love how ben said "thank god thats over" 😂
Ben's response to you getting hair cut 🤣
You should explore home more often & take Ben for his perfectly timed dry humour
Brilliant to hear Welsh spoken ...
English man here but its really important to increase the level of Welsh and preserve the languages in the British Isles....
How many speak Welsh as their first language.. Interested to know...
Manx , Cornish, Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic need a boost and need to be taught and preserved as do local dialects ....
Is Welsh different between North and south Wales.....
Finally ... Ben is just so "Kevin and Perry" .... Hilarious....
Next Welsh place gotta be Snowdonia and Beddgelert....
Absolutly agree more diversity in language needs to be heard in the UK as a whole and yes that is a difference between south and north Walien.
”Thank god that’s over“ 😂😂😂
Your talky talk and ben's wry one offs--😂 great combi😊 ( im glad thats over🤣)
Ben Wilson looks like a bundle of fun!!!
Ben is a happy chap 😂
I’d say Ben is actually happier then most, not pretending to be anything or anyone else. Ben is Ben.
@@scotchy88I doubt
Love to see those lads speaking Welsh keeping their culture. Class video, Britain is quality
I've never seen Ben look so miserable. Class!
Ben is like the Welsh version of Karl Pilkington. So much enthusiasm, get him on more videos mate
Love that you always say you’re from Wales in your videos and then finally seeing that you speak Welsh is class 🏴
Loved this video! Show us more of Wales please 🏴🙏🏼🏴
Ben what a guy 😂 happily see more of him in future videos.

Yeah, i was definitely not expecting Simon to speak Welsh out of the blue, I know he was Welsh but it just came out of the blue! Great video Simon, cheers for the great content
2 things we need. 1. Have Ben meet Ben and Ben. 2. Bring Ben along on a series. Whether it be no money, monopoly or anything really.

You only posted two thirds of it…….l learned it by listening to the song. The Lone Ranger by Quantam leap. Have a listen.

So proud of you for speaking your native tongue. They tried to hang ours out of us in Ireland.
Ben's enthusiasm is infectious 😅
This is one of the funniest video you’ve made. 😂 I’m from mid wales and can’t speak a word of Welsh but love to hear it
Never too late to learn. My wife started 3 years a go and is now fluent. Pob lwc

Ben's charisma was just popping off the screen! 1st class bloke!
You could certainly tell the old bloke was a farmer by his hands! Ma hwn yn wych Simon, fysa hi'n syniad i chdi gneud mwy yn Cymru!
Have heard about this village since I was a kid! Welsh sounds a bit like Dutch and Icelandic too, but sounds more strange....
For half this video, I thought that was Back Packer Ben, not someone else.!! 😂😂😂😂...
Same vibe 😅
Your mate's a right miserable, sarcastic git and I'm all for it top lad 😂
Didn’t realise Simon was so Welsh! Top lad great vids 👌
Bro your little brother is awesome 🤣🤣🤣🤙

Sack back and crack 11:40 Absolutely brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You couldn't find a more enthousiastic and cheerful travel companion. 😄
