On Day 390 Of Learning Welsh, I Went To Bala (Part 2)

Me and a colleague practise our Cymraeg together in work, in Cardiff. They are first language and I'm a decent level learner speaker.

A colleague (who is also Welsh) has asked us to stop chatting in Cymraeg in the workplace and has even threatened putting in a complaint about it! They say its isolating them and it's the same as if colleagues were speaking any other language that isn't English!

What do i do?

I thought I’d share my new tattoo here on r/learnwelsh! It’s a version of the Welsh dragon, and lyrics from “Yma o Hyd” by Dafydd Iwan, which translates to:

“In spite of everyone and everything, We are still here.”

I got this tattoo because the lyrics and history behind them really spoke to me. I want to remind myself everyday that I am strong and resilient. I went through a lot these past few years, and I am still here. I hope you like it! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This Welsh pronunciation chart is from FamilySearch.org. I’ve found it incredibly helpful, so I thought I’d share it with you all! Let me know if something is off or incorrect as I am still new.

I've always struggled with learning languages (plus having dyslexia, it's bad enough with English!) but I've been learning Welsh for a couple of years and I feel like I'm getting somewhere lately.

I've been working hard on Duolingo and finally got 1st place in the Diamond League. I love using Duolingo as my main learning platform and have even had little conversations in Welsh with my family friends.

If anyone is struggling or feeling stuck, stick at it, I'm proud of my little self and you should be too!

Dw i'n happus iawn!

Nobody ever posts them anyways here but yeah. No Nazis pls.

Edit: I'm not the best mod so please feel free to message me for these sort of things where I will definitely see it.

By these sort of things I mean; xenophobia, racism, extremism etc not spam posts or small problems.

Dal ati pawb!

Es i i ysgol Gymraeg a dydw i ddim yn siarad Cymraeg ers tua 16 mlynedd. Doeddwn i ddim wedi cael llawer o gyfle i ddefnyddio'r iaith dros y blynyddoedd ac mae hynny wedi cael trafferth fy hyder wrth siarad Cymraeg.

Penderfynodd fy nghariad ei fod eisiau dysgu Cymraeg dechrau ychydig fisoedd yn ôl ac mae wedi fy annog i ddefnyddio'r iaith fwy i ddangos fy balchder am fod yn Gymraeg. Y naill ffordd neu'r llall, mae hyn fel balaclava rydw i wedi'i orffen diolch i'r ysbrydoliaeth.
