I'm listening and trying to pick out words I understand 😂 I've been learning for a year but not many Welsh speakers in West Yorkshire to practice with!
Nice. I understood about 75% of that. I've been learning Welsh again for a couple of years, but I don't have anyone to practice with, so progressing is a bit difficult! It's useful just to be able to listen to someone speaking naturally in the language, so please keep up the vlogs! :)
Sometimes yes - sometimes it's because very few people actually use the Welsh words and so it can sound pretentious or pompous to use them! I'm trying to speak as I would naturally to my father and friends, although being a Welsh teacher I've found myself forcing more "proper" Welsh words into my speech than I usually would! It's not uncommon at all to hear "joio" (enjoying) and even "iwsio" (using) even though we all know the actual words for them (mwynhau and defnyddio). It's a fine balance - I don't want us to lose our beautiful Welsh words and have it too diluted by English, but at the same time I wouldn't want to make myself incomprehensible to all but the most highly educated! :)
Gwyneth Angharad Otherwise like the Irish, the British might as well have conquered the welsh language. I enjoy your videos, and I am yet to take your welsh lessons. You and a small music video taught me how to pronounce Llanfairpg.
Diolch yn fawr am gwneud hyn. Dw i'n byw yn Awstralia. Gallech chi'n gwneud rhywbeth ar treigladau os gwelwch chi'n dda? Dw i ddim yn deall treigladau'n da iawn eto.
@@GwynethAngharad Diolch. I watched the video. I have been trying to grasp the concept for 3 years but you have made it much easier to understand in 7 minutes.
Oherwydd y carodd Duw y byd gymaint nes iddo roi ei unig fab, fel na fydd unrhyw un sy'n credu ynddo ef i ddistryw ond yn cael bywyd tragwyddol oherwydd nid anfonodd Duw ei fab i'r byd i gondemnio'r byd, ond trwyddo ef y gallent gael eu hachub.
Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg ers pedwar mis, felly dw i ddim wedi deall llawer. Ond dw i'n hapus iawn amdanat ti ddysgu Tsiec oherwydd Tsiec ydw i! (I'm just quietly hoping that you didn't actually say that you'd never want to learn Czech and that you hate it). 😆

Are the English loanwords due to an inadequate welsh translation?

You coul a least write subtitles. How do you think foreigners are supposed to understand that?

Haha, řekla jsem že muj Česky je špatně a to je těžký jazyk! Kde jsi? Znám dva nebo tři Čech nebo Češka kdo si učí Velský!
Dw i'n byw yn Lloegr. I have no reason to be learning Welsh, I just really like it.
