neil82 1,080 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 piss taking put to one side, welsh is a very hard language to learn, kids pick it up well, combination of speaking it and every lesson in school being in the language makes it fairly easy for them, but for adults who have moved to gods country, no matter how many lessons you have, no matter how fluent you think you are, to a native cymro you will allways be on the outside, Velcro wellies and night lesson classes will never make you a native Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tree fallen down, he was there to help, lambing season came, hes down the road offering to help. He now is high up in the local shows. In rural areas you just have to make a effort. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,869 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 The only Welsh I ever learnt was taught to me by my younger sister's friend at school as her mum or dad were Welsh. It was "Good luck all Welsh and arseholes to the English!" The only thing is, I can only remember parts of each half so if I tried to write it on here (in phonetic English) I'd probably be saying "Good luck to your arsehole!" I wish I knew more though as it's a beautiful language. I recently watched a programme with Sian Lloyd, in which she toured around North Wales, and she said there are some areas with a kind of cobbled Welsh/English (Wenglish) where the residents speak Welsh but yet can't understand the dialect in South Wales...then again, I suppose it's the same in England when you compare West Country dialect to the Midlands, Cumbrian, Geordie or Saaf Eest innit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 The welsh should be f***ing proud that they care enough about their heritage to fight to keep their language alive. I sincerely doubt were it the case in modern day England you would see the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
