Nothing pleases me more than people speaking their own native language. Keep doing that. Don't lose it for the sake of the world.

It's really good to hear these people speaking Welsh and not English

As a man of Welsh, English, Irish and Maltese descent. I absolutely love the sound of Welsh (The Native Language of the Isle of Britain). It needs to be preserved, and Promoted more!

I love the way Welsh really rolls off tbe tongue!❤

I'm a linguist/polyglot and I've decided to learn Welsh to give back a bit. I'm going to study intensely then make it a habit to drive the 1.5 hours to Bangor to practise it. I'm so excited. It will be nice to show their culture and language the respect it deserves, especially as an Englishmen

Hello from a Welsh learner from Kazakhstan! Hoffwn ymweld â Chymru un diwrnod 😌

I'm from Ireland and I think Welsh is a beautiful language. Once I visited Bangor in north Wales and I came upon an altercation amongst a group of people. They were shouting at each other angrily but in was in Welsh and it sounded like recitations coming from Dylan Thomas. I stood listening to it in rapture. ☘☘☘

Save the language. This is their heritage. Love from the 🇺🇸

Welsh people, be proud of your language! Keep up the great work!

I’m currently learning welsh, and it’s such a beautiful language, this makes me so happy to see so many people speaking it 💛

I am an Englshman who started Welsh back in the 80's. i never have lived in Welsh or have any Welsh connections. After learning other languages to A level I visited Wales and heard the language spoken. Contrary to what we are told, generally, that the language has died out in Wales and no one speaks I thought , what a fib ! This is worthy of learning and promoting . I only intended to learn a few basic phrases but it snowballed into something bigger. I started two groups for learners in East Anglia and now because of COVID we meet jointly on line. I think I speak Welsh as fluent as I can get. I Let's help this ancient language survive , such diversity and culture on our dorrstep.

Im constantly watching videos like this lately. The welsh language is beautiful. I am originally english but my fiancé and our 3 year old daughter is welsh. My daughter goes to a welsh speaking school and comes home everyday saying something new in welsh. I love that she is learning this amazing language. I am trying to learn a bit each day to support her. I have a very long way to go though xx

Welsh sounds incredible and seeing it written it looks very medieval. Super interesting to see and hear.

Diolch! I am a Bulgarian who studied at Bangor and I really love coming back to my beautiful Wales! Actually, I have just bought tickets for July, and looking forward to seeing my friends and the beautiful scenery out there!

Simply beautiful! I'm Swedish and I'm and studying welsh simply because it's so interesting.

My mother moved to the US from Wales and she often spoke welsh with her mother. It's so nice to see the language spoken so much!!

Welsh language is heroic, as well as Scottish and Irish! They have managed to survive throughout the whole history of British Empire. And now I hope more people will learn their native languages including Welsh.

Congratulations Easy Welsh on your first video! I’m looking forward to knowing the Welsh culture! 🙌

I know that Welsh is a Celtic language but it still sounds a bit Norwegian or Swedish to me. At least the melody they're speaking with. Sounds beautiful by the way.

I am from USA and found this very fascinating! Thank you for sharing! I recently discovered I had several ancestors from Wales, and interested in learning the history and its culture. The language is beautiful and poetic.

As a descendant to some ancient Brythonic lines it is with great regret that I did not get to learn Cymraeg as a kid, I hope I am still capable to learn such an intricate language, just hope It can feel natural as it does to speak what your raised with. My family is of brythonic regions but grandparents either had to move deeper into England due to war or they died of medical conditions so if they were the ones to teach it from their parents, they didn’t get the chance.

I grew up in wales, it was my first language, I left the country when I was 10 and lived in England ever since, I'm 17 now and sadly have somehow forgotten most of the language but it still brings back good memories listening to it being spoken.

I'm half Walsh on my mothers side, started learning it in school and was doing good until I was moved away and I obviously never picked it up again and forgot a lot of what I learnt. I honestly believe if I haven't of moved I'd be almost fluent in it today. Might take up learning it sometime in life again.

I live in England and I love Wales.

My goodness, what a beautiful language. I hope the people continue to encourage the use of Welsh for future generations, the world is a richer place for it

I would love to be able to understand Welsh. It’s such a unique-sounding language ❤

I love the sound of this language. Welsh is fascinating to me! Hope to one day visit such a unique and beautiful place.

Very interested in Celtic languages and Welsh is incredibly fascinating and beautiful. I’ve been learning Gàidhlig for 12 months now and am curious to pick up Welsh. Ceud mìle taing (One hundred thousand thanks) for this video!

I heard 20 years ago that this was a dying language. I figured after all this time there probably weren't any people who speak it anymore at all except maybe a few really old people. This is so cool to see that a lot of people even young ones still speak it!!! I've always wanted to learn Welsh but thought it might not be possible if no one spoke it anymore. I'm so glad to see it's still spoken!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welsh is the most beautiful language in the world, it's like a song to the ears. I am so happy to hear so many speaking it ♥️👍

My dad, his whole family and my maternal grandmother are all Welsh and I'm partially fluent in the language but it's wonderful to hear it spoken across so many different generations. I'm currently improving my Welsh and learning some Gaelic which has been really interesting.

I'm from the South of Wales, and everyone around here just speaks English, but knowing my language is still alive and that there are people who still speak it in my country makes me very proud to be Welsh and has also given me a strong strike of motivation to learn it.

I can’t wait to visit here

When I was a student at Bangor, I transferred my weekend job at Boots pharmacy and picked up so much Welsh, I loved hearing it! I can still understand lots!

Hello from the Welsh American Channel. Just want to let you know that we Welsh Americans are also interested in what is going on in Wales and the Welsh language. Cymru am byth!

I am English but have visited Wales a lot over the years & always been fascinated by this wonderful language. I'm now learning Welsh & loving it! Dw i wrth fy modd yn dysgu siarad cymraeg. Mae hi'n iaith fendigedig!

As a linguist, I’m OBSESSED with the code switching. Just fabulous

Such a pleasure to hear the language. One day I'd love to learn it.

Oh, I've just come across your channel and am so excited! I'm a first generation Australian of Welsh parents and my mum made Welsh cakes and both parents sang around the house. They could only speak a little of Welsh due to the severe 'Welsh Not' policy in schools insisted on by the English government. When I visited Wales I just had to stop and listen to the beautiful sing-songy Cymru/i language all the time. I am planning to visit again when the pandemic finally calms down. Australia has land that looks a lot like Wales and when Sergeant Cook (later a Captain) explored the coast in the late 1770s, he named the land South Wales, later changed to New South Wales, as the shoreline reminded him of Wales. The other eastern states of Victoria and Tasmania look the same, but not when you come close to see the very different vegetation. By the next time I visit Wales I plan to be able to speak some Welsh.

da iawn! I’m absolutely delighted to see the welsh language on here! Looking forward to your next video 😊

I remember phoning up a hostel in North Wales asking for accomodation and was expecting to hear the "normal" English but was completely surprised when someone answered in Welsh. I was immediately transported to different lands or time zones. I kept exclaiming in English to the person how much I loved the language he was speaking but had the most wonderful miscommunications as a result. I didn't actually have enough time to see North Wales so I must return sometime in the future to finish this experience. Such friendly looking people in this video - God bless them!

I'm a German teacher from England living in Hong Kong and I stumbled on this video because I follow Easy German. So great to hear Welsh and people so proud of their culture and heritage! And they are all right about saying how beautiful Wales is. Diolch yn fawr! (By the way, Easy Cantonese would be great too!😆 I'm learning but it's very hard)

Back in the 1980s in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we met a group of men who were performing in a welsh choir. They were older gentlemen, but so handsome and soft-spoken. It was quite a treat!

im kinda surprised at the amount of people that dont know wales exists, our country is beautiful!!

Great to see this for Welsh. I've been a subscriber of the German podcast for a while and a member of Easy German. If you want any support, reach out I'd be happy to help.

Inspiring, I hope to see this kind of wide spread use of Irish one day!

A bonus of this video is that you can hear EXACTLY how the English Welsh accent is generated, how its sounds, tone and stress patterns come directly from Welsh

Lived 3 years in Bangor at the University (a forester from India), absolutely love the country and its little slate houses, pubs, hills and woods and sheep pastures.... unfortunately never got down to learning the language, except for diolch and gochhhh :) would love to go back!

What a beautiful language. Great to see it being preserved.

MOM THEY SPEAK ELVISH! Really, I don't understand why but I'm just amazed how magnificent Welsh sounds, I'm in love! Cymru am byth(right?) from Russia)

I'm in Colorado but my heart is in Wales. I hope I get there some day soon ! Trying to teach myself , or rather, learn the language on my own. Not the easiest thing, but I'll not give up.

Beautiful language

Thank you for making these videos. Even though I am a beginner, it is good to hear it from a real conversation. It is encouraging. Keep doing these viodes. The rest of the world needs to know this beautiful language.

My dad was Welsh - I have no idea what is 'typically Welsh' but I hope one day to go to the UK and find out. Thank you so much for this video; I am fascinated by the language, but have so few opportunities to hear it, in Australia.

i wanna learn how to speak welsh, it fascinates me more each day

Really pleased that you are picking this up Marian! Love your own channel and grateful that you are taking this on - which will hopefully give you a wider audience!

Proud of my Welsh ancestry ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤

These people should speak the Welsh language again, it's a very beautiful language, they shouldn't let it die Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

I'm from South Africa, a land with 11 official languages, but I'm currently learning welsh/cymraeg, seems very difficult but interesting language. I hope to find better ways to learn the language please suggest I'm on Duolingo at the moment 🙏

Lovely language! Feel sorry for being unable to write it in Welsh. Hello from Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤

Congratulations! I'm so happy to see you taking up the torch for Easy Welsh. Ihope that many people watching this and following videos will take the next step from just watching for amusement (which is in and of itself a good step), to actually learning it...even if it's only some phrases, again, so that they can be good tourists. Uh yeah, also, there are some negative comments in the comments section, but I suggest ignoring them, because they're outweighed by a sea of positive ones!. I'd like to put in some requests. One video about Welsh poetry and literature, and one video about Welsh nature! If you could make it to Eryri or the sea cliffs at Sir Benfro, maybe the Welsh tourist office would even sponsor you haha. And also it might be interesting to ask people about the toponomy of Welsh places, to see if they know what the names of the places they live in mean in Welsh.

Really cool 👍🏼 respect from Greece

We are learning cymraeg with Coleg Gwent via Zoom with 40 lessons at 3 hours a week. The idea is to encourage our grandson to become a welsh speaker. The Zoom is very enjoyable and worth every penny.

Wow, their behaviour is so different from the Englanders. They are very reserved, polite, orderly. Reminds me a bit of the Swiss people.

They should push the learning of the Welsh language, even at a basic level, in the English education system. Its the heritage of the British Isles.

I'm english, but love the Welsh language, it's lovely

Woww! I had never heard Welsh before. It sounds very cool! 🥰🥰

I recall hearing a little Welsh spoken in the film _Saint Maud_ (the main actress Morfydd Clark is herself from Wales) and being utterly fascinated. I've heard some people say it sounds like speaking in tongues and I have to agree.

Such a fantastic series thank you!

The dual subtitles are amazing thank you

This is such a great topic for the first episode and your interview is so wholesome! Congrats Marian and team from Mena🥳

It's wild that celtic language were spoken natively from Ireland to Turkey, but now all there are is a few areas in the British Isles, France and Spain.

I wonder where this video was filmed, the scenery is beautiful!

My Ancestors are are welch and moved to Canada. It is nice to hear how our launage has changed threw the years and traveling to where we are now ,

So cool watching this being welsh on my mum’s side, Would to love to learn this language so I could talk to my family over there!

Such a beautiful language. Fantastic to hear it!

It has been a dream all of my adult life to learn Welsh; unfortunately, it’s not so easy to do in the states. If only there were a way to live there and learn the language I would die a happy man. All of my mother’s father’s people were from Wales, and though we have other heritages in our family, I have always felt Welsh! I was privileged to have a chance to visit Wales and loved every minute of it! But it did make my heart sad that I couldn’t speak the language! Dduw bendithia Gymru!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice! Good to see EasyWelsh !

West Wales born and bred, first language fluent. However, if I visit up north I have no bloody clue xD

This video is the embodiment of hiraeth for me. I miss hearing Welsh every day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

beautiful sound

Wow, reading the words reminds me of some morphology of elvish.

Such a wonderful community. ❤

Written Welsh looks so unique.

I am learning Welsh and it's really hard but I really enjoy it nevertheless.

I can really hear the sounds of how English is related to it. This could be how English sounds to non-English speakers.

I did one of those DNA tests and strangelly enough I found that I am partially Welsh, I say strange because I'm Brazilian of well documented descent of Dutch/Italian/Portuguese/Galician people so I do not know where Welsh came from. I speak every language related to my ancestors and I guess now I'm gonna learn Welsh too. It does sound very foreigner to me, the sounds but I'm watching to get used to the sounds, let's see how it goes.

Greetings from Bala Cynwyd (PA)!

It actually sounds a bit like Faroese! And even Islandic. With a touch of Norwegian melody.

this is so fascinating!!

It is truly amazing to hear how well Welsh has managed to escape the influence of English. Now, it's my opinion as non native english speaker.

My wife's aunt spoke fluent Cymraeg. We still make Welsh tea cakes (no real currents mind you...we have had to use the "Zante Currants" for a long time here. And when my wife was young she used to sing Mae Hen wlad fy Nhaudau at the opening of the Eisteddfod at her Congregational Church. Her family came here in the early 1880s. For fun, I learned Calon Lan in Welsh.

I'm Italian, trying to learn some basic phrases in Welsh ... It is quite challenging!

I see my Welsh course on Duolingo helps a bit. I already recognise some words and phrases. I want to know at least a bit of this lovely language)) if I were to move to the UK, I would choose Wales for sure, such a nice place

Awesome that they have these videos even for Welsh!

To my Italian ears, there are some similarities between Welsh and Icelandic in terms of melody, rythm and some sounds. I don't speak either of these but I can definitely hear similarities. And they both sound lovely to me. Even if I don't understand a single word.

There I stood, in a bar in Rhydyfelin. My heart sank when the locals said..."That's the Englishman over there."

I am in aweee! Finally

You know, in my case it was thanks to both Tolkien and the beautiful folk song _"Dacw nghariad"_ that I became interested in Welsh. It's such a beautiful language, and while it may be, at least partially, the influence of Tolkien's LOTR that makes me say this, I do believe that if fairies and elves existed, they would no doubt speak Welsh. 😎 Thank you very much for the episode, and the lovely landscapes, Marian, may there be many, _many_ more! A suggestion, if I may: making an episode with a focus on the correct pronunciation of Welsh "ll" would be _very_ much appreciated, I think. 😉 Cyfarchion o Fecsico! 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇲🇽💪

Greetings, fellow elves! J.R.R. Tolkien made the Sindar elven laguage with Cymric and Quenya with Finnish
