Please save Celtic languages!!!
More of these ! No intention of learning Welsh but it sounds intriguing.
Why not learn it? Welsh is one of the prettiest languages ever, and there are yt videos teaching Welsh to speakers of Spanish by the same interviewer from this video! I highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Forn Svenska 2gether, as they are way too pretty not to know!
What a beautiful and warm episode. I love it. I am very happy that I got the opportunity to get a glimpse into this for me a completely unknown world.
The guy in the pink beanie sounds like he's from the north of England! If Welsh isn't his first language that's pretty insane how you can learn to speak it that well
Nah, his accent is from North Wales. (A GOG)
Welsh is very easy to pronounce and learn, and its pronunciation is similar to Dutch / Norse / Icelandic pronunciation - all these languages have easy category 1 pronunciation like English, and the accents are easy to imitate too, and I highly recommend learning them 2gether with Gothic and Norwegian etc!
I'm learning Welsh, and it's interesting that the man with the knit cap and the natural strong Welsh pronunciation is the easiest for me to understand.
I am intermediate level in Welsh, and I can understand many words from this video and am learning new words every day!
I am a late discoverer of your lovely videos. A diolch fawr for all your efforts to promote the beautiful Welsh language. I think I would be able today to write my comments in Gymraeg but it would take me hours! - This said, my remark: the printed Welsh part of this "Street Welsh" comes and goes so fast from the screen that, barely have you reached reading half the text, woof ! it's gone on to the next exchange of dialog. Perhaps more time should be given to us humble but ardent learners. Why not a few seconds more before the spoken dialog goes on to the next part of the conversation...
Again, a big thank to you and to all who promote the magnificent Welsh language. I can't wait to be able to say that I am 100% fluent!
Amazing place!
Video ist sehr schön und wunderbar
Hast du etwas verstanden?
Ich spreche Deutsch und Walsich
wonderful language !!
That man with the pink beanie is impressive how fluent he can speak
He's one of the few native speakers in the video, I think.
It seems like it would be easier to learn than Irish. Such a beautiful language.
That’s true, because Welsh is a category 1 language like English / Dutch / Norwegian / Breton / Cornish / Manx etc, whereas Irish & Scottish Gaelic are both category 3 languages spelling-wise, but I am learning these two little by little, as I am learning all the modern Celtic languages and all the Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages - I highly recommend learning Welsh 2gether with Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish / Breton / Cornish / Irish and maybe even Forn Svenska / Manx / Scottish Gaelic etc, as they are all so gorgeous and way too pretty not to know, and I recommend learn languages like Irish and Scottish Gaelic little by little, as they are a bit complicated, so learning the pronunciation rules and sounds and memorizing the spelling can feel quite overwhelming sometimes, but they are so pretty!
These videos are so useful. Please upload more welsh videos and some Indian languages... Please....
please make another Easy Welsh video!
Diolch yn fawr! Dw i'n mwynhau iawn yr fideo. Hanner cymro dw i, a dw i'n byw yn Seland Newydd. Mae fy mam dod o Mhontlotyn ond mae hi ddim dysgodd siarad Cymraeg 😢. Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg fy hunan ( a TH-cam, Duolingo etc) videos like these really help, even if it's not textbook Welsh I still learn a lot. Hope you do heaps more! Pob hwyl !
Mae'n wych i weld dysgwr arall yma! Dydw i'm Cymro o gwbl, ond dwi erioed wedi teimlo rhai fath o gysylltiad hefo'r wlad. Ydych chi'n gwbod am unrhyw gwerslyfrau da? Edrychais i mewn llyfrgelloedd ac ar lein, ond does dim llawer o adnoddau Cymraeg yn yr Unol Daleithiau :((
@@three_crows_all_day Ydw, Dw i'n hoffi iawn "Complete Welsh" y llfyr gan Christine Jones a Julie Brake, ond dw i'n hoffi Duolingo ( ar fy ffon) dw i'n ei ddefnyddio bob dydd - dyma'r gorau. Cheers !
@@RRTNZ AAA MAE GEN I'R LLYFR HWNNW! Da i wybod â dwi'n ar y llwybr cywir-- diolch am dy ateb! Dwi'n ymarfer hefo Duolingo bob dydd hefyd, a'n obeithiol byddaf i'n gallu ymweld â Cymru cyn bo hir!
North or South Wales? What place is this?
North wales.
@@Ceidonianphysicist Mid. Different accent to the north. I was born and bred 1.5 miles away and went to school there.
Welsh is a beautiful language. I just learned how to pronounce 'llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch', but now I'm enamored at the beauty of the Celtic languages. You just don't hear those sorts of sounds in other languages.
Actually, they sound very similar to Dutch and Norse and Icelandic and Gothic and English etc, as Celtic languages have been influenced by Norse and other Germanic languages a lot, so they have very similar sound patterns and sounds and pronunciation rules - I highly recommend learning Welsh / Breton / Cornish etc 2gether with Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish / Forn Svenska / Irish etc, as they are the prettiest languages ever created, and they are way too pretty not to know!
The only Welsh I could pronounce is that gogogoch village 😂
Shwmae. Gwych. I am learning Welsh. Dw i'n siarad Cymraeg.
Fantastic language....its so flowy when spoken fluently. And some words just sound lush!
Gets a bad rap because of centuries of the Ingerlish folk poisoning people's minds. (The reason is, they aren't intelligent enough to comprehend it, only joking)
Cymru Am Byth! (Wales Forever)
Yma O Hyd! (We are Still Here)
Woah woah woah buddy. You can’t share the same color as easy German 😂
They don’t. Easy german has the color #298626 and Easy Welsh #009236.
And now I’m asking myself why I downloaded a tool just to find this out.
LXXXVI Lol Jesus dude
Ι really like your videos and all these beautiful places... the language reminds me icelandic ..
😂😂😂😂
@@lxxxvi8898 😂 Because you're a weeb. Just joking, I love you...💗
1:30 wait, what the hell!! 1993 = mil nou nou tri. In Catalan, mil means "1 thousand", "nou" means 9 and tres is "three". So 1993 in Welsh almost sounds like saying "one thousand nine nine three" in Catalan :O
From what I understand, the Celtic languages have a surprising number of latinate loan words, some, like in this case, easier to spot than others.
Yo parlo el gales y estic aprenent el catala. Saps que hi ha tambe una semblanca forta entre els dies del la setamana in gales I el catalan. Byw/viu s'escruien difererement pero la pronunciacio es igual tambe!
That’s because the modern Celtic languages come mostly from Latin (and from Gaulish, which also comes mostly from Latin) and Norse, so most words are cognates with the Latin and Germanic words, as Germanic languages also come directly from Latin, while the pronunciation of Welsh is very similar to Norse / Dutch / Icelandic / Gothic / English pronunciation, as Celtic languages have been influenced by Norse and other Germanic languages a lot, so they have very similar sound patterns and sounds and pronunciation rules - I highly recommend learning Welsh / Breton / Cornish etc 2gether with Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Danish / Forn Svenska / Irish etc, as they are the prettiest languages ever created, and they are way too pretty not to know!
Welsh, what a beautiful language and so sexy to hear from a beautiful lass.
Is it common to just say "Who are you?" in Welsh rather than "What is your name?"
I always wanted to learn Welsh but was put off by the Welsh orthography
You haven't tried to learn anything at all! The Welsh spelling is very simple and logical, quite the opposite of the English one, which is one of the most nonsensical among all the languages of the world.
What is surprising in Welsh spelling? That w is a vowel, ok, it's pronounced "oo". Problem solved. Cwmwl is pronounced "koo-mool". As simple as that. To me (a French guy), the English spelling and pronunciation are a nightmare. Have to check a dictionary to know how to pronounce every new word I see written. In Welsh I've never had any problem...
@@gerald4013 You seem like you love languages and are quite knowledgeable about them. I need a friend like you in my life. J'apprends le français depuis quelque mois. Étes-vous sur Facebook?
@@gerald4013 I agree! My mother's English so I never had an issue learning the language, however objectively, English phonology makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I've also started learning Welsh and its spelling and pronunciation are far more straightforward and logical than those of English.
English has the most logical and professional spelling, which is why English words look AND sound gorgeous and professional and serious, English and Dutch have the easiest and lightest spelling ever, which is easy to type on any device!
Welsh is gorgeous like Norse and Icelandic and Gothic and English and Dutch and Gothic, and its spelling works well for it, and it’s pretty easy to learn the sounds and to get used to the spelling, and it’s very easy to spell Welsh words, as it doesn’t have many words with diacritics and accents, unlike French / Spanish / Portuguese etc, which have a spelling that’s more complicated with lots of words that have accents and diacritics on vowels, and English also has words that look like Welsh words, for example, the English words awe / glyph / sweet etc look similar to Welsh words, it’s just that Welsh has more Ws instead of Us and more Ys instead of Is in spelling, which gives it a very different aspect at first sight, but if one analyzes the words carefully, one will notice that they aren’t that different from Germanic and Latin words, and Welsh reminds a lot of Norse and Icelandic and Dutch and also Gothic and English - I highly recommend learning these gorgeous languages 2gether, as they are way too pretty not to know!
First
English backwards
Welsh is considered one of the oldest attested languages in Europe (with literature dating back to the 7/8th century) and was likely present in the British Isles long before English arrived from the Anglo-Saxons.
OK
@@henriashurst-pitkanen8735 yep....the Phonecian alphabet Welsh uses was introduced by the Romans in the 1st century B.C.E. (Coelbren was used prior to that) The English Saxons were illiterate in It until they got to Britain. They still used Germanic Runes well into the late 5th century!
Some say it was even the druids who created it for them! As the real history behind the English coming to Britain comes from them being invited over by Vortigern. Not Conquest as some idiots say.
Btw, Welsh is the oldest Venaculiar language in Europe.
@@maxim9280 You'll find many similarities in Welsh and English. Which is weird seeing how they are have apparently different origins. Welsh in its current form predates English by about 600 years. (The alphabet they both use)
Another words....its most likely the other way around! After all....it wasn't the Welsh who tried destroying another people's language for over 800 years.
The similarities are due to words coming into the Welsh language from English. The “pure” Welsh words tend to be very different. E.g. “cysgu” = to sleep, “mynd”=to go.
