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

I love the natural fluency of Welsh spoken by people who were raised in the language. I am of Breton ancestry, my grandmother spoke broken French, a sister celtic language.

[taffyducks]

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!

[PHSM]

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

[agnieszkakotulska]

I'm from Poland. It was so nice to discover how Welsh sounds! I hope all countries with celtic past will keep their languages alive!

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. ☘☘☘

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 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.

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

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

[lindsaycook]

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!!

[MrHriskoch]

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!

[cha.felino]

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

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

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!
