Here in 2023. This man is really helpful. Thank you very much. Born in Haverfordwest originally but lived in England since I was 2. So I hope to learn as much as I can from my roots
Jason you are so good at teaching Welsh ....much clearer to understand than other platforms I listen to 👍👏
Rhuallt in N. Wales is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and now this video has helped me to actually say it! Thanks!
I stayed in North Wales 15 days. It was a great experience. I spent my days between Rhyl, Abergele, Llandulas and Llandudno. Greetings to all Welsh who were very friendly
Growing up in Lancashire, many of my childhood summer holidays were spent in north Wales , sweet memories :) Later when we lived in Cardiff we would go to Dyfed/Pembrokeshire for a week or so in summer which we enjoyed more than flying abroad!
Oh my goodness, I thought that sounded like Andy McKee! 🎵🎶 😃My son and I love him. Now I'm even happier I've found you 😊
Welcome!!/ croeso!
@@LearnWelshPodcast Diolch yn fawr iawn. I do hope that's right. I've been using a combination of Duo Lingo and Google Translate and while they're okay, I'm so pleased to have found your channel. I've learned a lot more with you although retaining it is still a tad difficult. It's such a beautiful language and it's easier than German so I shall keep going. Diolch yn fawr, Annie.
Brilliant. Step by step,slow and clear.Thank you.
I'm trying to learn with Duolingo, but this is really helping especially with pronouciation. :)
After watching these wonderful video lessons, I've been finding it way easier to learn Welsh with your book! Together, the videos and the book, they're a match made in heaven, simply perfect. I've been trying to learn Welsh for decades and, fortunately, don´t have any problems with its complex grammar but I had always been in doubt about the correct pronunciation of certain phonemes. Now, you've solved all of my doubts! Diolch yn fawr iawn, Mr. Shepherd, you are a genius of Welsh teaching!
So helpful as being half Welsh quite special to be learning it and I’m doing quite well
Great to hear!
Been struggling with duo Lingo, now much clearer. Thanks
Hello , Jason. How I wish to visit Aberyswyth . Beautiful place. Thanks for this lesson. Excellent one. Diddorol !!!
Thank you for all the help
This is good stuff!
I've signed up to the Patreon. I'm finding these very helpful!
Hi Adam! Thanks for becoming a Learn Welsh Podcast Patron. Glad you’re finding the videos useful.
Thank you for this
Dw in hoffi coffi
I really like coffee
I spent my first 6 years in Swansea and I have to say that the pronunciation of Welsh place names was quite lax. You often heard Pontadullis, Abbatowie, Abbaristwith, Lanelthy (or Lanethly), etc., even from my Nan, who was a native Welsh speaker from Aberdyfi (Then called Aberdovey.).
I was just starting to pick up some Welsh when we moved to Northumberland and then I had to larn meself Geordie, which is an entirely different language in itself.
After 61 years in Australia, I now speak fluent Strine, but I'm trying to learn a bit of Welsh. I find it very useful when responding to telemarketers. For some reason, they seem to take offence while I'm being extremely polite.
To be honest, we were always taught in school to say "Ble wyt ti'n byw" not "lle", and I'm from North wales
It depends what part of North Wales you are from. I’m using the standard forms for teaching the Welsh language but your comment just shows that we can’t assume all North Walians speak the same. The language varies from area to area. The same applies for South Wales. There are, for example, plenty of South Walians who use Lle in conversation. Another example: Many Welsh language textbooks say that South Walians say Beth and North Walians say Be’ for what but I know plenty of South Walians, myself included, who use Be’.
The place name that I've heard mangled most is the popular tourist destination "Betsy Code".
Even though I'm from England, since last year I can now pronounce many of these Welsh place names like Llandudno (I will admit for that, some people from England have pronouced it "Landoodno - What I previoously used instead of the Welsh pronunciation, Landidno or the first bit as Clan along with saying Landahdno like you stated)), Llanelli, Machynlleth etc. the Welsh way, having mispronounced a lot of them beforehand because I think it is rather weird for people to be expected to get place names like Derby or Leicester in England correct yet butcher Welsh place names or even Scottish/Irish place names.
Just out of curiousity, could you please tell me if Welsh pronunciations sometimes differ regionally or for different welsh people around the country for certain placenames, like for example Llangollen, I have heard some Welsh people pronouncing the second LL set in "Gollen" like a normal Welsh LL sound (which in some cases makes it sound like a cross between a Ch and LL sound) even though you have stated it leans more towards a Ch sound than LL sound, now would a Welsh LL also be acceptable for Llangollen as well as the Ch sound in the second LL bit? Another example would be Yr Wyddfa because the "Wyddfa" can be pronounced by some Welsh people like "Withva" instead of "Oythvah" while for Llandudno, the U can be pronounced slightly differently by some North Walians (in phonological terms, some might use a Close central unrounded vowel instead of the Near-close front unrounded vowel like in "did") though I personally pronounce the "dud" bit as "did" these days like you mentioned, would those also be acceptable?
If you are available, please do answer these above questions of mine, many thanks.
Would you do any 121’s?
I've been looking for a video like this for so long, I feel embarrassed that I mispronounce some place names and others I literally have no idea how to even start saying them lol.
Any chance you could do a series of videos just pronouncing place names and maybe explain what the name means.
Thank you!
not as embarrassed as I am.. I lived in Wales for almost eight years and didn't realize till I watc
hed this video MANY years later that I have been pronouncing Aberystwyth wrong all this time :D
@learnwelshpodcast: There is a book!? Where can I get it pleeeease?😊
The first print run has sold out but the kindle ebook is available on amazon and the iBook version should be available soon.
Da Iawn... diolch!
Hello, Jason! Thank you for your amazing lessons!
I live in Russia is: Dw i’n byw yn Rwsia. Rwsia is pronounced Roo-shah. And just use Moscow as there is no Welsh equivalent.
@@LearnWelshPodcast thank you very-very much! I love your lessons and look forward to another videos.
As an English language native speaker, ysbty is a very confusing word to attempt to say without knowing how the Y's change sound! Izzibitti is not right!
Uhz-buh-ti I think is a bit nearer!

Dw i'n licio da iawn cerdd yr wers ...
Bore da Jason..Zulkifli ydw i. Ble dych chi'n byw? Dw i'n byw yn Malaysia.
Just ask them in English. Saves a lot of problems and stops the stranger becoming blathered in phlegm.
