Pethau Bychain

Bore da!

I think Carl Morris’s idea of a day that celebrates Welsh language content on the web is a great one. Want to know more? Check this out if you can speak welsh http://pethaubychain.com/ and this if you can’t .

My Welsh is still fairly rudimentary. I know everything that I need to describe the weather in Wales (it’s either raining or it’s not), can ask for tea or coffee, beer or invite people to the airport. I can also tell you that your wife is hot (thanks Carwyn). I’m starting lessons later this month and I’m really excited about that; I’ve never learnt a language in its native country before, so the opportunity to practice on a daily basis will hopefully allow me to progress at a far greater speed than if I learnt it back at home.

Working at the Centre i’m exposed to the Welsh language on a daily basis which is fantastic – I’d love to be able to programme more Welsh language work but until I’m confident with the language, I’m going to need to rely on my colleagues expertise for just a little bit longer. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to engage now though. If there are any Welsh language musicians, or, particularly, digital artists, that you think I should know about leave me a comment. I’m a big fan of Colorama and Huw M right now!



Mwynhau!
