Been trying to learn welsh to get closer to my roots and I was mind blown to realize how much I was able to understand. Got a long way to go still, but hopefully this beautiful language can live on!

I'm surprised that we can watch Welsh episode! This language sounds so mysterious and wonderful. Hope to see more Welsh videos. Greetings!

[ulyssemarquet]

amazing! Hope we can get more "smaller" languages on easy languages

The girl with the pink hoodie has such an amazing accent, I don't hear much Welsh so it might be normal but the stress on certain words like stopio and heddiw makes a really nice flow in the sentences

[margaretkopretina]

Oh yay! I am so enchanted by the Welsh language

[cristinam]

I've been learning Welsh for three months and I'm totally in love with this language 😍

[gillianivory]

Brilliant! So helpful you can see it read it read it and hear which in learning welsh is so vital as it sounds nothing like it's written. Also you can pause and repeat !!!

I love the celtic languages they're all so beautiful. Would've loved to see some Scottish Gaelic and Irish (Gaeilge) too.

Little wonder Tolkien stated that Welsh is the world's most beautiful language. As a history buff I've read that in North Africa during WW2 the British used Welsh speakers to talk on the radio as the Germans wouldn't have a clue how to understand-rather like our Navajo code talkers. I'd love to visit Caernarfon someday and see if I still have relatives from my ancestors that immigrated to the US in the late 1800's. Where I grew up a lot of Welsh settled together in a small town called Dawn, Missouri where you can still find surnames like Morgan (my ancestor's), Evans, Jones, and Davies.

I was fascinated by the language when I went to summer school at Glyndwr University. I literally took about a hundred photos of various signs and posters in Welsh, lol. Hopefully someday I'll have time to learn it :)

[Poweroftouch]

This is amazing, all spoke slow enough to understand, abd subs on English and welsh, brilliant for learning

[joelsong]

Wow this project becomes more diverse! Great

[andycwb]

This is great - good to augment my basic Welsh from Duolingo with some proper authentic pronunciation. Diolch yn fawr!

[turbatmunkhsuren]

wow super interesting, beautiful language

[alesauria]

We need more of these please! Duolingo is not enough anymore :p

[dustgreylynx]

Both Welsh and Irish are so beautiful ! Iwish they were more frequently spoken then i would be more motivated to learn them. Greetings from Berlin !

[joanneaugust]

I don't know any Welsh, but I could hear that the mother and daughter duo from Cardigan spoke a different accent/dialect - a very beautiful one.
What I wonder with Welsh is: how many of the speakers learned it at school or something like that, an how many are actually native speakers?
Am I correct in assuming that the couple with the young girl were native or at least very fluent speakers, while other only had some knowledge of Welsh?

[TravelsWithRose]

This place is so beautiful I want to go back again.😊

Good, followed that nicely after ten lessons from Cardiff University

Kudos to the creators for getting this out there. I want to interview people too (but on audio on podcast form) but still haven't got round to it! It's good to see minority languages represented on Easy Languages too.
