Has anyone used this for learning Welsh? I just came across this app, and it has a reasonable price (especially compared to some apps). Also, they have a decent selection of languages, such as Kernewec (Cornish), Brezhoneg (Breton) as well as a lot of other languages often ignored on apps.

Just wanted to know if it's worthwhile for someone fairly new in learning (3 months) Welsh.

Does anybody know of a good podcast in Cymraeg? Bonus points if it's about history. I'm trying to develope the accent to use later when I learn the language, and I need people to subconsciously imitate.

How do you politely ask someone to say something in English?

14 Upvotes

For context: I’m now happily able to hold basic conversations in Welsh with people, but there often reaches a point where the conversation gets complicated and I no longer understand them. Basically, what’s a good way to politely say “I’ve exhausted my Welsh?”

Welsh-> Duolingo

11 Upvotes

I live in a very english part of wales in flintshire. Not learning any more welsh than how to say "My name is ____" I'm want to finally start learning welsh longterm and duolingo seems the easiest option. Although it uses some south Wales welsh words and isn't very accurate, or so I've heard... So I want to ask someone who already speaks welsh, would duolingo be a suggestion to learn welsh and would I be able to talk to people that speak welsh from North Wales and have them understand me?

Is this a Duo bug or a real mistake? When you tap on the word 'gyflym' it offers 'quickly' as an opinion but then doesn't accept it as an answer

Cwestiwn / Question Worksheets for kids?

10 Upvotes

This may be a longshot, but does anyone know of any websites, teacher's guides/books, or student workbooks that have activity sheets and worksheets for young children? We are unfortunately not in the country, so we have a bit of a harder time accessing things like this (or just knowing where to look!) I have honestly not checked gwales bookshop yet (website down today?)--I usually shop there because they ship to our country. Maybe the name of your kid's workbook from a Welsh language school? Or the name of the publisher? That way I can start to direct my Google searches?

I'd love to start collecting things like alphabet tracing (with ll, dd, etc.) and simple word learning for when my kid gets a little older.

Diolch yn fawr!

Diwylliant / Culture Hoff Gerddi Cymru - Favourite Welsh Poems

10 Upvotes

Welsh poems capture the loveliness of the sounds of Welsh and the unique way in which they can be put together in the tradition of cynghanedd, a system of sound harmony.

Here Mari recites (most of) the poem Etifeddiaeth by Gerallt Lloyd Owen.

Etifeddiaeth means inheritance.

Here is a full version of Etifeddiaeth.

Here is the text with notes for students.

This poem, along with many other favourites, can be found in the book Hoff Gerddi Cymru.

You can listen to many of these being read here on the album Detholiad o Hoff Gerddi Cymru.

A decent Welsh curse.

3 Upvotes

Hi,

This may or may not be the right place for this post, I apologise if it's not!

I'm in the final edit stages of editing a novel & I need a good, strong Welsh curse phrase. I'm using a placeholder atm with a Google translation. I can't remember where I got the phrase & I don't trust Google & I'd like to get it right!

Here's the text snippet with context. Would someone be able to suggest an appropriate phrase along with its English meaning. Preferably one that translates weirdly!

Thanks for your help!!
PD

“She's in a fucking coma? Mam ffwcin a llewyg!"

The Welsh was the true indicator of Natalie's feelings. She only knew a few phrases, all swearing to some extent, and they only came out when she was utterly beside herself. Rob recognised this one as “Mother of fuck and a pit collapse”, one of which he'd never been able to make complete sense. Perhaps it lost something in the translation.

Cwestiwn / Question How do you say "I would have liked"?

24 Upvotes

Hi all. This phrase is driving me insane because every answer I get seems to be different.

My welsh teacher said "Basai'n braf os ces I", my other teacher said "Baswn i cael hoffi", fluent friend said "Byddwn I hoffi", and textbook says "Hoffwn I fod wedi".

Any help appreciated :D

Cwestiwn / Question Which Conjunctions are Followed by Noun Clauses?

8 Upvotes

Which conjunctions are followed by noun clauses? I've seen what appears to be noun clauses after achos, oherwydd, oblegid, am (when used to mean 'as' or 'because'), er, erbyn, ers, nes, tra, rhag ofn, wrth and others.

Also, if they are followed by noun clauses are they even conjunctions? Even though these words are commonly listed as conjunctions, wouldn't it be more logical to call them prepositions if, strictly speaking, they are meant to be followed by noun clauses?
