It’s a shame. I remember school, being told off for not speaking welsh, and at the time I found it annoying. Now I’m glad that they did, and find it upsetting that nobody speaks welsh.
Anffodus iawn
Wales = cringe

Shame there's no Welsh in the video. That's why I clicked.
People like him are the reason the Welsh are a dying people 😂 I can understand liking anime obviously but what kind of man jerks off to it?
Same lol
I'm so envious. I am Welsh but went to English-speaking schools that were absolutely terrible at teaching Welsh.
I feel like there's a piece of me missing by not being able to speak my mother tongue.
Can still learn, easier now than ever...loads of material, I'm English spent 4 years in Wales at Uni, decided I'd like to learn it
Lots of amazing and VERY affordable courses online via Dysgu Cymru. Did an intensive for several years through the Covid Pandemic.
As a Croatian by blood slowly having to learn my language by myself since nobody taught me I can feel your pain! It's honestly so important to get in touch with your immediate roots, it'll always feel like a big part of you is missing... Are you desiring of some day reconnecting with your ancestors' tongue and willing to learn? Are you already and if so, how's it going? Welsh language speek is quite difficult to accquire since the Welsh language isn't really part of any of the big linguistic families most other prominent Indo-European languages within Europe belong to! Much look to you either way but I strongly advise you to learn your ethnic, cultural, ancestral language - Welsh!
@@aldozilli1293The younger you yourself and your brain is, the easier it'll be to learn, so yes, definitely! That's so cool, what an interesting old language within the greater island of Britannia! Glad to hear that the Anglo-Saxons couldn't fully extinguish the flames of Irish, Welsh or even Scottish culture within the modern UK, beautiful!!!
I'm from Ireland and I'm the same. I feel lucky that I'm okay at conversational Irish. There's a decent amount of gealscoils around, but there's more English schools around and Irish is taught so poorly that almost no one speak much if any Irish. It really does feel like a piece of my culture is almost dying🍊
Their was a time welsh was banned in wales. Makes sence they do this.
Same with the Gaelic speakers in Scotland and First Nation people in Canada
Looks like English was banned at your school. There* sense* that they*
Tbf I did not really process information at school well and forgot most of what I was taught, at least you understood what I was meaning to say. I guess im just someone who learns differently. I will admit those when texting on a phone I am lazy with punctuation.
No shame in that, its like being in another country. You can always learn English. Having another language is fantastic 👌
Before anyone complains, look up the Welsh Knot and the deliberate, longtime (and nearly successful) attempt to stamp out Welsh culture and language by the English, then remember at least he, or at least his parents, chose to send him to one of the minority Welsh speaking schools. Not saying it’s still not a valid point that getting told off for speaking English is a bit archaic but make sure you know where it comes from.
As someone who learned sign language in school up to the highest level, being forced to speak a language or having your grade be affected when speaking another is to help keep you focused on learning that one.
Trying to learn a new language whilst keeping up with your native one is way harder than you think.
@@revolverjesus98In his situation, he was taught Welsh as a first language meaning this WAS his native language, you are then taught the basics of English grammar and since everyone speaks it anyway in Wales it works out
I always meet Welsh native speakers saying "I'm bad at English". They are so humble. At least their English is ten times better than mine.😢
That is so sweet. Diolch.
@@ac1646 Croeso! Dw i'n hoffi Cymru a Cymraeg!
As an American, I've always found Welsh an interesting language. I'm planning to move and get my degree in Wales, and I plan to learn it at some point
You wont need Welsh at all to live in Wales, by the way, English is a far more commonly spoken language here. However your dedication to learning it would be appreciated all the same.
If you plan to study in the North, it may be more valuable, as thats where the majority of Welsh speakers are, but if you plan to study in the South, around the big cities, you wont get much use out of Welsh.
For me and many others it's the opposite, and I wish it weren't sometimes. I have Welsh grandparents, but was sent to English-speaking schools in England on purpose because of the prejudice against Welsh people at the time (1990s), and once my grandparents passed away there was no-one to teach me or speak with me, so I never became fluent or used the tongue in my youth. It feels like a part of our heritage is missing or lost or stolen. As if ancient bigotry has robbed us of identity. Am trying to teach myself to speak and write Cymraeg now as an adult, and I've even moved to Wales as part of that journey, but it's really difficult when you consider that nowadays it's thought that only about 30-40% of the native population actually speak Welsh at all (and then it's in different regional dialects), plus if you look and sound English as a person living/working in Wales the native speakers are understandably reluctant to use spoken Cymraeg with you. It's heartbreaking.
I feel your pain. My Welsh mother married my Welsh father and moved into my father's Welsh speaking family home. The problem was mum wasn't Welsh speaking so didn't want us to be brought up speaking Welsh. It feels so close yet so far away.
Man-gu (Grandmother) lived with us too but her English wasn't great and I feel so sad she wasn't able to converse with us or us her.
Im always jealous that Welsh people have the privilege of being able to learn and speak their native language. I am Cornish and whilst we are getting a small revival of the previously dead, Cornish language through Welsh speakers, we don't have enough recovered to teach the language to be spoken fluently. Even if we did, because we aren't independent from England and we never will be, it most likely wouldnt be taught in our primary schools... 😞
I'm English and I'm very glad that they made this change in Wales. Makes me sad that our neighbour's culture was almost erased
I wish the Anglos and Britons had to learn Welsh and English in schools. So many multilingual people in the world and England wont teach the Native tounge of the british isles cmon.
That’s because England would then have to face the fact that English is not native to Britain. It be language or culture. And that goes against the narrative of they’re British.

As a person who had English as a subject since grade 1, I have been listening to Conner to improve my English for years.
he should be glad welsh was mandatory so he actually knows it.
it took me 6 months to start speaking ukrainian. despite it being taught in school, i heard it only on television. my whole family and friend spoke russian too. it would've bern way much harder, if i didnt learn it in school.

Welsh and English very different? Like how different are they?
well... how different is chinese and indian?
tl;dr nothing alike.
it's more of a celtic language completely isolated from germanic languages like English. At most you might have a few loanwords between the two during the saxon occupation of england which would affect and be affected by middle english (different from 1700s elizabethan english). Middle english is so drastically different to modern english that you probably wouldn't recognize if a modern word evolved from it
There are two Welsh vowels in your user name: w and y. 😊
@@agathamayra5045 indian is so different it doesn't exist 🤯

Autocorrect is ruining people speaking Welsh

@@maggiemacaskill1037 It’ll also help you sometimes (about as often as it helps with English). I only have the default “English (US)” and “Emoji” keyboards, and I’ve been learning Swedish, and I’ve typed out the Swedish anthem a few times, and when I type “fj” it offers me “fjällhöga”.

Hope one day my kids will learn more than English.
Better paying jobs? How so? There's no money in Wales and English is the international business language.
@@yuyutubee8435until you go to China, Japan, or any ME country. The real business language is theirs, them speaking English is only what they want you to know. 😉
that's so cool all the Trash Taste boys are bilingual, their English is their second language (I'm not sure about Joey) but that's so cool, and they brave to go to Japan and have a third language (except Joey)
I’m my school me and my friend speak English when the techers arnt there lol! ( I’m welsh ❤❤)
The fact I go to a Welsh school rn
Going to a Welsh school is a choice for parents! There are also state run English language schools available, no one is forced to speak welsh.
If you get taught in a Welsh school you get punished but all the people in my Welsh school are very fluent in Welsh and English
Yma o hyd
😁👍
Dwi siarad cymraeg fyd
Yeah that's me I go to a welsh school now but me and my friends are like nah we need English too
It's funny you say that, as the Welsh speaking kids I went to Primary School with (back in the day) learnt English (as did my father) through immersion in English but I thought they didn't really have serious lessons in written Welsh.
Agree, you need both.
I go to welsh school but my mum is english
I am so pleased that you mum is willing to do this and have you educated in another language. I'm assuming she can't speak Welsh but don't want to presume.

Based school. I wish my school here in Ukraine was at least 20% as strict.
Are there much Welsh people in London? Grew up here and I don't seem to ever run into any.
There’s a Welsh society in London, Welsh people who move sometimes join if they want to keep speaking their first language

When my Mexican mother married my American dad and moved to NYC where he was from, she learned fluent English by watching tv. She had me a year after they moved to NY and her biggest concern was raising me to speak English and never taught us Spanish which is kind of a shame.
Omg this is so relatable. I also went to a welsh school and struggle with some English words and especially mathematical terminology, because it was all taught to us in welsh.
Yp welsh if fun especially when ur being shouted at for 1 word of English:) im welsh btw lolol
Now I gotta learn what’s welsh language because I’m more native in English than any other language

Welsh is totally valid and beautiful and everything, but I don't understand all the fuss people make about this bloke speaking Welsh. People seem to treat him like the only Welsh speaker in the whole world. It's Welsh, it's valid but it's not that big a deal. He's a Welsh person who speaks Welsh. Why are some people losing their minds.
He's one of the only whales who can walk on land
People just don’t expect people with British and American accents to speak another language I think
And if they do it’s normally like Chinese or Spanish or French, Welsh is just pretty interesting
@@dafyddroff8084 The indigenous languages of the UK in addition to English are Irish, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish. People speak them. Welsh isn't even the rarest, I'd say the rarest are Cornish and Scottish Gaelic.
@@kennethmacalpin7655 You’re right, but it’s still less than 2% of the U.K.’s population that can speak a Celtic language, compared to the 23% of Brits who can speak French, the 9% who can speak German, and the 8% who can speak Spanish (according to Wikipedia).
@@kennethmacalpin7655 I just realized that you didn’t list Scots, by the way-that’s the one indigenous language of the U.K. missing from your list.
I am not sure who is the target audience for this clip and why it came in my yt feed,
but what's the point of this clip?
For once English got the backseat and somehow that's not so good?
His parents knew what school they are enrolling him into, then what's the complaint about it now?
What English ppl did to literally every other nation or culture they stampeded upon, somehow it's not fair when the role is reversed?
Isn’t it strange how people complain about their Welsh medium education when it has obviously been very beneficial to them.
You never ever hear people from other countries complain that the language of instruction in their schools is the language of the country. Welsh schools in Wales of all places?? Goodnes me!
What do you mean "has obviously been very beneficial to them"? What are these obvious benefits, and why do people still complain about it if these benefits are so obvious?
@@dramotarker1352 He claims he ‘is very bad at English’…. while speaking it in this video to a high degree of fluency. This Welsh medium education was apparently so bad and damaging it got him into university?? On top of all that the evidence speaks for itself. Those who attend Welsh medium schools achieve higher grades in both English Language and English Literature grades at GCSE than their counterparts in the English medium sector.
If he didn’t want to be at this (alleged) disadvantage why did he not ask to move schools? Only he can answer that of course but if the situation was anything like it is in my town, the English medium school is a dump and the Welsh medium school is pretty good, oversubscribed, and has a waiting list of pupils wanting to enrol. Says it all.
@@Knappa22 I don't see this as him saying it was a _disadvantage_ . Far from it. He sounds very proud of the fact he is fluent. Rather he is being a bit self-deprecating
Interesting though how we can see things in different ways

Why does he put on that weird English America accent? I can’t hear any welsh accent in him?
Well for starters, he doesn't live in Wales anymore and hasn't for a few years now.
Additionally, hes a professional voice actor, so he's likely trained himself out of his accent.

Doesn't sound American at all. Would definitely think he's a Brit
I can tell from the way he speaks that he is very used to speaking Welsh. There is something about the cadence of his voice.
Yma O Hyd! Welsh is in reality British, calling it Welsh is an oxymoron because they are native, and the language is native. The term Welsh means foreigner. Only the people from Wales who know little about their history call themselves Welsh.
What's the proper term he should call himself?
its obviously gonna be different, its a celtic language, and dw i'n siarad cymraeg fel e..
Heb iaith Heb galon.Cymraeg belongs to us all and genetically the English are 65% Cymraeg.
This will have negative consequences for the Welsh language. While some patriotic folk will grow up to appreciate it, many, many people will find it a drag to learn the language.
Think I'm speaking bollocks? Look no further than Ireland.
It's all good speaking fluent Welsh and Irish until you leave school and realise even a simple construction job expects you to speak English fluently.

Is Welsh the same as Gallic ?
@gary100dm Not exactly. They are both Celtic languages, but of course like any other language that is related to another one, the two languages do have their differences.
Seems like they held him back education wise. English is a global language.
Not really holding back. I went to a welsh school and my English is very good because it comes naturally to us since everyone can speak English but I can now better understand my culture and I can pronounce the name of my town and I have something to be proud of. Globalization is sad.
He's being very humble. His English is native, and he's obviously fairly articulate in English. Maybe his English writing could perhaps be improved (so could all of ours), but with the native-level English he has, it wouldn't be difficult for him to improve. He also went to an English (or at least, English-speaking) university, so he has definitely written in academic English before.
I'm sure his English is much better than most international students (like me) in the UK. He is just being humble. And he is a true bilingual, fluent in both Welsh and English, while native English speakers are often bad at learning another language.
cope more
@@yizhou5903 there is a difference between growing up with a language and then actually learning one. He has spent 5 years in Japan but his Japanese leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. You're also making the presumption he's a native Welsh speaker. What I get from this video(I may be wrong) is that English is his first language.
I seriously thought Welsh is just an accent not a whole language on its own.
Scotsman here - kinda jealous. student now at a Gaelic college. or... THE Gaelic college. Can say for certain that Scots Gaelic/Irish speakers kinda wish for the spread that welsh has. good for them.
