I found out about this podcast a few months ago, I've slowly been learning my Welsh and it's amazing, I'm Welsh and come from a Welsh family which some are welsh speakers, I'm 49 years old and learning my heritage I've always been proud of being Welsh but learning the Welsh language makes it even more special, thanks you ever so much Jason shepherd for taking time out to make it possible for people like me to learn it's really appreciate
According to the Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru, "cont" really is just the c-word. My friends in Bristol use the English version of it as a term of jokey endearment too. My favourite variant in the GPC is "cont môr" for jellyfish. Yes, the c**t of the sea 😅
As a Kiwi Baby Boomer, I recollect my mother referring to (my younger sibling's) having "cacky nappies". Also as a youngster, we often referred to chewing gum as chutty/chuddy gum.
Sutmae, Mr Shepherd, sut dych chi?. I spent four very memorable holidays in North Wales as a young teenager back in the early seventies, three of which were just wonderful. I can't understand why it's taken me another forty-five plus years for me to decide to learn Welsh. I only started a couple of days ago on the Duolingo app and then today I found you and I'm so pleased I did. Surprisingly, I'm finding it a little easier than German...so far, at least. I decided to learn Welsh because as I'm now disabled, it's very unlikely I'll ever get to Germany but I may just be able to visit Wales again. How nice it would be if I could speak a little of this beautiful language. I don't think I'll ever be fluent at my age but it would be nice to have a basic conversation. I look forward to starting my education with you on here. Take care, hwyl 🙂 Annie. C.
Good to see you back. Please, when you can, do more videos.
picked up learning welsh a few days ago, and you my good sir, are incredibly helpful. not only with phrases and what not, but also in pronounciation. im definitely gonna be rewatching your videos a lot to make sure im not butchering anything (ive got problems with ch, r, and rh but ill get it right at some point!)
I think number 5 is from the Scouse influence in North Wales. Number 18 is a dish of German or Scandinavian origin brought to Liverpool by sailors. Hence where we get the nickname “Scouse(r)” from. Me being a Scouser with Welsh ancestry loves your vids!
Diolch yn fawr
Hope I spelt that right😎
Number 9’as well is definitely a Liverpool expression. IIRC Billy Corkhill used it all the time in Brookside.
Scouse is actually a Norwegian dish which came to Liverpool then on to North Wales
It's good to see you back!!!
Was born in Anglesey and a lot of this is said there!
Paned comes from cwpaned, a cup full. Sbon newydd means brand new. We used to say brand sbon !
Dol used in Bangor
Right handy ,,Bangor
I live in Wrexham and 'la is a big thing around here. I reckon it is due to how close we are to places like Liverpool, Birkenhead, Chester etc.
For example, "Hey, are you gonna watch the footy tonight, la?"
So happy to see a new video, thank you for making these :)
I'm glad to find that out about the English pronunciation of lechyd da, because it's definitely been on other learn Welsh videos and I wouldn't have known it's not right and also a bit offensive!
18. is very interesting as we have Labskaus inGermany it is also a stew out of red beet, meat and potatoes
I am trying to learn Welsh now as we have been living in North Wales for over 3 years now and are about to move to a region where at least half of the people are native speakers so I should at least learn the basics (my children already learn it at school so are much better than me). Thanks for your great and helpful videos!

Clarity about the how and why is so helpful. Question: If someone wanted to write a story in English with Welsh characters, what characteristics of speech would genuinely indicate the person speaking is Welsh?
Thank you sooo much for doing these videos!!
"Y'alright" originated in Salford and has spread ! However, use it in the South of England and they don't understand why you constantly ask them if they are alright!🤔
Good job ! Excellent videos, I’ve learned so much ! Thank you.
Thank you!
Hi . I’m new to learning Welsh as I’m doing to for my career hopefully . I like your approach to learning and I’ve just found and will be binging your Spotify podcasts . I hope you can keep it up as it’s really helping , especially with the spelling of each word when on the podcasts so I can add them to my ‘cheat sheet’ . I’m glad you’ve posted again and hope there’s more to come !
My maternal second and third cousins live in Northern Cymru from my hen taid’s side and hen hen and hen hen nain side.
The non-Cymraeg words are used in North England too
Is a hundred cant, gant, or chant and are north and south mixable in a sentence some teaching apps like Duolingo seem to mix dialect including very old speech I find it very confusing.
Cant is a hundred in Welsh. The others you mention are mutated forms of the same word.

When I was a kid growing up on Anglesey, a term I often used to year sounded like 'Iasgod i fawr'. An exclamation of pain - you'd say it if you hit your thumb with a hammer. Anyone have any idea what the actual spelling is?
A few of those slang words are the same in north west England...chuddy, mingin etc. I've only heard scousers saying 'la', but I guess it might have crept over the border. 'Alright?' is common throughout Britain. Bit of a rubbish list really 😅.
I would like to learn all the bad words in Welsh, because usually it's easier for me to get in to the language 😅
Hello, do you recommend doulingo for learning north welsh? I am on my 2nd day of learning and i am finding the language easy to learn so far since in my language, we have a lot of similar sounds. Is it possible to be able to have a basic conversation in one month?
Only correct response to “alright” is “alright”
Iechyd da same as us yec'hed mad😃
