This is very cool. Thank you. You are the first one to say..."learn the Welsh alphabet." Which makes perfect sense!

I’m from South Wales and pronounce the Ll exactly as you do. I’ve never heard it any other way. Thank you for the video

I've been learning Welsh on duolingo for the last couple of months, and I agree that hearing it is a lot different to reading it! Thank you so much for sharing this alongside your book :)

Excellent video Mhara! The alphabet was extremely helpful, and surprising because that's the way I learned some of the letters in primary school in England. A as in cat, not A as in ale, etc. I can say most of the letters, I just can't wrap my tongue around some of the sounds when you put the letters together ... yet! lol

Really love your videos and ordered/pre-ordered your book. My dad's family are from Ynys Mon (Caergybi/Bodffordd/Llangefni/Biwmares etc) but was born in the South as a monoglot English speaker. A far cry from my grandfather who only learned English as a teenager lol. Really appreciate your work and these subjects really help engage with the language. Can't wait to read. Diolch yn Fawr :)

For anyone who doesn't have the book but wants a little guide they can copy and paste: A as in: Apple, cAt, fAther. Example: Araf, Arth, Da E as in: End, friEnd, cAre, fAir, swEat. E.g. : Enw, Gwen, Eto I as in: sweet, flee, flEA me. Also as in the Y in Yes, or the J in fjord when followed by a vowel. E.g. Tir, Isel. Iaith, Iechyd O as in: mOp, gOne, fOur, cOre, lAW, mAUl. E.g. Ogof, Mor, Côr. U similar to the i in: kit, fit, lit (If you can't master the above, you can pronounce U as in the above i) E.g. Undeb, Urddol, Uchod W as in: Cool, rUle. And as in Water, Would when followed by a vowel. E.g. Wrth, Wsos. Wagle, Werthu Y as in: rUn, fUn, lEARn, cOme. And as in the above U (Again, replace Y with the above i if you can't master it). E.g. as in fUn: Dy, Dysgu, Tywysog. As in the I above: Gwyn, Tŷ, Yw Vowels can be either long or short. Most long vowels are marked thusly: â ê î ô û ŵ ŷ. But some words with long vowels aren't written with them, as in Da, Do. But if a word is only one syllable long, then it's vowel is more than likely long, even if it isn't marked with an accent. Also, Y, as in FUn, rUn, isn't usually lengthened at all, so if you see Ŷ, then it has the same quality as Û. B as in: Bet, bounce. Never silent like in doubt. E.g. Bardd, Bai, Bol C as in: Can, Can't, Cough, never as in City, Science. E.g. Cant, Cawr, Cof. Ch as in German or Scots. Never as in Church, Chore, Choir or Mach. E.g. Chwarae, Chwaer, Chwilio. D as in: Done, Do, Debt. E.g. Daioni, Doniol, Dirfawr. Dd as in the Th in: The, although, this. E.g. Ddoe, Addysg, Sylweddoli. F as in English, 'of', I.e. V E.g. Felly, Fel Ff as in English, 'off', I.e. F. E.g. Ffroen, Ffwrn. G as in: Go, get, gaily. Never as in: Gelatine, danger. E.g. Gafael, Gwenu. Ng as in: Sing, song, Thinking. E.g. yng Ngwynedd Ngh: as above, but aspirated, as though the ng were followed by a little h. Yng Nghaernarfon. H as in: House, Her. Never as in Hour or the American pronounciation of Herb. E.g. Heulwen, Heli, Hafan J as in: Jam, Jelly, Enginge E.g. Jam, Jeli, Injan. L as in: Let, Loose, Love. E.g. Label, Lois. Ll as described in the video. But if you can't master it, it might be better to just use a normal L, rather than pronouncing the Ll as Cl. [Ll can mutate to L anyway]. E.g. Llanfair, Llachar. M as in: Month, Might, Magic. E.g. Mêl, Mis, Mawr Mh: an aspirated M. Ym Mhentreberw. N as in: Night, New. E.g. Noson, Newydd. Nh: aspirated N. 'Nhrefelin. P as in: Pet, Patrick. Never as in Pterodactyl, Psychic. E.g. Perthyn, Plantos. Ph as in F (this letter exists to show when P mutates into an F sound) Pen. Ei phen. R rolled, but it doesn't really matter. E.g. Roedd, Rydw. Rh: aspirated R. Think of it as Hr, an R either followed or preceeded by a H. E.g. Rhedeg, Rheged. S as in: Sing, song, soul. Can sometimes sound like the Sh in Should, if the S is followed by an i and another vowel. Never as in Z or the S in Fusion. E.g. Seren, Siarad. T as in: Top, Tile, Tweet. Never as in Nation. E.g. Teulu, Torth, Tegeingl. Th as in: Thick, Thin, Though. Never as in The, They, Though. But, the combo Tsi+vowel can make the sound of Ch in Curch. E.g. Gwerthu, Gwaith. Tsiaen, Tsieina. There's also the doubled N (which, unlike the other double letter, counts as two letters), which occurs when a word with the consonant cluster -nt- changes. E.g. Diwylliant > Diwylliannau Same goes for double R, but it seems to be a rule so we don't mix up similar words, e.g. Tôri (A Tory) and Torri (to break). Also important to note that some consonants mutate in certain situations. Cath (cat) Fy nghath - my cat Dy gath - your cat Ei gath - his cat Ei chath - her cat. Same can be said for all letters except R and the double, triple letters.

... random question. Do Welsh kids grow up with songs for learning the letters of the alphabet?
