As a person who has been living in Wales for more than 30 years I absolutely love your presentation style with the language. Of course I’m not a fluent speaker but love to use the language whenever possible , in a sort of pidgin style welglish which raises a few eyebrows wherever I go; but none the less I love trying and truly love the language and culture here in Wales. ❤🏴 forever.
I’ve started learning Cymraeg on Duolingo, and these are so helpful in hearing the accent and pronunciation in an actual human voice! Very practical application as well - I’ll be in South Wales in September, looking forward to being able to order a flat white or a cider 😁
Hopefully they will make an Easy Welsh yt soon, as these videos help a lot - and also, Easy Icelandic and Easy Norse and Easy Gothic and Easy Faroese and Easy Norwegian and Easy Danish and Easy Swedish yts as well as Easy Breton and Easy Cornish and Easy Manx and Easy Irish and Easy Scottish Gaelic and Easy Gallo yts etc, as it’s not easy to find resources / videos teaching these gorgeous languages!
It's so nice to see another Easy Welsh video! (I was just thinking the other day when the Easy Welsh team would do another: and here it is. 😊) The Welsh language is so beautiful and special; unique and one-of-a-kind. I love the country, culture, people, and language very much. I hope to see more and more videos from you and that you get your own channel. (The Welsh language is divine.) Thanks so much for another great video! If I'm ever in Wales, I'll definitely order a tea in Welsh as well as talk to the people in Welsh.
I'm planning on getting a UK visa and working in Wales next year, these videos are so helpful. Interviewing actual people helps so much with pronunciation.
Welsh is an easy category 1 language like Dutch and Breton and Cornish etc - the words are easy to remember and pronounce, and it sounds a lot like Dutch and Norse, which are two of the easiest languages ever to learn and pronounce, and it has an easy spelling without many diacritics or accents, only a few Welsh words have diacritics on the long vowels, so it’s way easier than languages like French and Spanish and Portuguese which have many words with accents and diacritics!
@@FrozenMermaid666 welsh is generally not considered a category 1 language LMAO it's more similar to hebrew in its sentence structure, generally more like category 3. the pronunciation is definitely easier but particularly in south wales, where a minority of people speak a more exclusive type of welsh (not really sure how else to phrase it but essentially not using wenglish), the sentence structure is so different to english that even with 10 years of learning the language and family who speak it it can still seem totally dissimilar to english, compared to french which i learnt simple phrases so, so much quicker
I'm curious to know where you filmed this. And did you have any trouble finding Welsh speakers? I love the way you explain everything so thoroughly, it's really helpful. Are you teaching a particular variety of Welsh, here? I lived in Swansea for a few years, and didn't get the impression there were many native speakers there.
Diolch for your comment! We filmed this in Bangor in North Wales. It's easy to find speakers here. North West Wales is where the most Welsh is spoken in Wales so it's not too difficult. I can imagine it being more difficult in other areas or bigger cities. Most Welsh in this video is therefore the North Walian accent :) Marian (Easy Welsh)
Well... Thanks! For "These Social Examples" on "The Real Life" Great! To listen different accents, is a good live practice! Specially for us! New Welsh Begginers!!! Tsumae! Bore Da! From "México City" With All My respects , Hello "Wales People" Keep talking Your native language!!! I Will speak it, better in some days!!! Absolutely!!! Saludos Cordiales! Viva México! 😇🇲🇽😎
I love your videos but for a frustrated, English-speaking South Walian they are hard tk follow. It's hard to listen and read the Welsh as well as the English translation. I love your ideas but for a "beginner" like me it's hard to find the pathway. Help!
I can speak welsh as a second language as I went to two Welsh mediums primary first one I was getting bullied it & teacher in question who saw it did nothing on more than one occasion. So I asked my parents to change schools & I did that was best decision that ever happened was moving to another Welsh medium primary school and to this day my best friend still with him in our late 20s. We also went to same Welsh medium Comprehensive school, first two years great. Due to Various issues, school went downhill in 2009 & didn’t recover until 2015. Fact it was a Welsh medium school basically saved it from closing down. Along with near by English medium comprehensive which did shut down. I can still speak it but not as confident as I used to be because it’s been so long, since I used it. Due to no Welsh medium colleges. Like you I’m in south Wales so it’s extremely hard to use Welsh in everyday setting as majority don’t speak it. I started in 2012 & because of school I went was falling in multiple area my last three years of school I had to join ILS department to up my grades in certain subjects before I could do Betech IT Level 1 Course then my last year I did a EAL Digital technology l2 course and I wanted to IT L2 but to prove it I had to another course. I needed a job at that points. So couldn’t really do course at that time.
There are Welsh speakers in Wales much more than my expectation. I am very glad to know about being proud of their language and it’s unlikely to be endangered.
There's a difference between speaking a language and understanding a language. I would not claim to be a Welsh speaker - I can get by with some very basic stuff, but would struggle to hold a conversation. But I can understand a lot more than I can speak. I can watch a video like this one, not looking at the subtitles, and understand (I'd estimate) about 80% easily enough and probably be able to guess another 10% of it from the context.
@@kichitou1420 whilst about 20% speak it, this is usually more in the north where it's a living language so people typically speak more 'wenglish' (depending on where u go). as someone who speaks more in this way, living in the south, whilst there are welsh medium schools no one speaks it outside of that/families or sometimes welsh friend groups. in school the pass for a C in welsh is 30% and even getting an A* doesn't teach u much useful about the language, so most people in wales will have little welsh unless u live in specific communities, and it is incredibly hard if not impossible to pick it up living in the south, and yet can benefit u massively to speak welsh in wales due to funding and opportunities (a small example would be that in my experience learning the harp seems universal to welsh medium schools, yet totally unavailable in english schools.)

Diolch for making the videos. I’m learning but need to hear it spoken. This is great.👍
Thank you for taking us on-site! Language immersion from the comfort of home 🤩
Croeso! Diolch for watching :)

Welsh is really cool, the way they say Gymraeg sounds awesome to me who speak a romantic language, there's nothing close to this word in portuguese.
I'm planning on getting a UK visa and working in Wales next year, these videos are so helpful. Interviewing actual people helps so much with pronunciation.
Diolch! Good luck with your visa. We hope to bring you more Super Easy episodes over the next few months :)

btw only about 20% of Welsh people can speak Welsh
what a lovely video! i’ve got to start learning welsh now… don’t stop uploading! :)
The coolest thing about this video is they managed to call Welsh easy in the title.

I'm so excited for more video examples of Welsh! Diolch!
Love it
Don't know a word of Welsh, but I loved the video.
More Welsh please!
Love it, really informative, Thank you! ( I've been trying to learn Welsh since the 1980's! It's much easier now to hear it and learn)

Swansea has a pretty low amount of Welsh speakers, even compared to places in Carmarthenshire just half an hour away.
More welsh os gwelwch yn dda!

Learn it and we will create a new world.

Where would they use llaeth? In the south or north?
They would use “llaeth” in the south, “llefrith” in the North.

What is percentage of welsh understand their language？ so curious.
Around 20% of the population speaks Welsh. However everyone in Wales studies the language at school until the age of 16.
There are Welsh speakers in Wales much more than my expectation.
I am very glad to know about being proud of their language and it’s unlikely to be endangered.

Mais je ne parle pas anglais! Comment je peux apprendre la langue gallois?
Je ne parle pas anglais non plus. Il suffit d'écouter, et rien de plus.
Welsh sounds like a mixture of hebrew with islandic
/norwegian influence with a little friesian lightnings in it. What a 🍹 cocktail! I like that!

Why does welsh sound like dutch
it doesn't
I like how it's called 'Easy', but I wanna gouge my eyes out when trying to understand what they say....
no way this is a real language, and not just a meme gibberish
