Includes an entertaining mini-drama to show you how the Welsh language can make a BIG difference to your visitors.
When the actress is your old English teacher 😂✌🏻
Wayyyyyyy
Emelia Roberts cool
Wait really
I wouldn't get anything done if that were my teacher

Haha is this a training video for Welsh taxi drivers?
omg i would just get up walk out and turn over the coffee table if they made me watch this a orientation. Screaming something like, "I'm welsh + i can drive = don' t tell me how to be a welsh tazi driver!"
@@1Dispretty2me I think it was public broadcasting, an attempt to help increase tourism, which stimulates the economy.
Step 1: don’t be a little shit like this dude.

wow! some people are taking their native language quite seriously now aren't they?
Imagine my confusion when I came here expecting to hear the sound of whales.
"What's that now love?"
Dunno why, this got me laughing.
It sounds a bit rude at least in America.
I love Wales and all things Welsh. If I had the money, I would move there permanently. BEAUTIFUL country. WONDERFUL people. Amazing history, culture and language. My Great-Grandfather migrated here to the U.S.A. from Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, and I think he regretted it, but was stuck here. I wish I could go back. I would do it in a heartbeat.
Welsh is like one of those secret languages you'd make a kid in Primary school.
How can you be Welsh and not know what 'bore da' means?
+WelshNoble I'm English from a monolingual background and though I speak nearly fluent Portuguese have always been intimidated by Welsh. It has been an inaccessible language despite being a native language sadly. I visited Wales many times as a child but my father took the piss out of the language despite enjoying fishing there. I think he heard the only term "Iechyd da" (good health) he knew in a pub. Really crap. The only solution is 100% Welsh Medium schooling in Wales and also in parts of England where Welsh is spoken. After all English is now Globish (as one French writer calls it)
+Isochest try duingo, it's totally free and does course in Welsh. I started learning 3days ago and I'm a Hampshirian ^^
+Ash Mckinlay Thanks. I've registered on Duolingo and yes it's reinforcing my other attempts:-)
+Isochest Good luck friend! Remember, if you set your practice goal and fulfil it everyday, then there is no way you cannot learn it!
May the winds of lingistic competence blow in our favour.
WelshNoble ikr ffs
The sound of Wales is rain.
And sheep being shagged.
Nah . That's yer Lahndan sound innit .Rain ,fog , polution and lottsa cowcha .
Nae different from England Ireland and Scotland , it pisses doon a lot in these Islands . Being a Scot i ken .
And pigeons
Seagulls
I think making an attempt to learn a small bit of the language anywhere you go is appreciated. We're all somewhat proud of where we come from and there's some satisfaction when people acknowledge that your place is worthy enough to be bothered learning a bit of the language.
I agree! Though that wasn't my experience when I went to France. I was told to stick to my own language.
@@draghnthe French are French, tis to be expected
@@draghn the french are frankly weird about it
Also learn Welsh now on Duolingo!
I know I am :)
I am :D
+Rainshadow, Medicine Cat of SkyClan cool name! how many points do you have in duolingo in Welsh language?
Dwi'n caru o
I was on DuoLingo Welsh for months before realising how totally inaccurate and annoyingly useless many of the tests were
Super proud of my heritage. Sadly I didn't start learning the language until after my father passed. Nos da...
Nos da! Hoffi lemons
I'm from LA and I think this country is really cool. It's classy and idyllic and so many wonderful things
I'm from Brazil and I think the UK as a whole is beautiful. I love English media and culture more but the other countries are great too. Hope to visit UK one day.
@@theweirdo8622 I hope you come to Turkey as well.This place is the oldest social and cultural place together with Mesopotamia(Syria today) and the Arabic peninsula.
I'm half welsh so I'm learning it on duolingo, i dunno, it just feels good
“Nobody speaks welsh around here”
Get out. Get out. No. There’s the door. Get outta here.
My grandmother wasn't allowed to speak Welsh when she was a student in North Wales at the beginning of the 20th century. She would be very pleased to visit now and hear Welsh everywhere and to see signs in Welsh.
Mrs Evans is a teacher in my school! and it's a WELSH school! she knows welsh!
Your teacher's hot.
Abbie Owen-Jones same but her name isn’t Mrs Evans (or at least now it isn’t)
She in my school now 😂😂
She’s Mrss Phew Now :)
I found both of the enactments were rather realistic. It's really interesting to see the difference between them despite how reasonable/realistc both seem.
That's not what Wales sound like. You can only hear them when your under water in the ocean.
R'lyeh
You’re*
had me in the first half ngl
Yes
What a perfectly wonderful video. As a speaker of an EU minority language, I had a curiosity about Welsh and did a search on "Welsh Language" here on youtube and this was the second video that came up. I didn't learn much about the Welsh language, but this is certainly a good lesson in both manners and leaving a good impression...applicable to ANY part of Europe. Well done.
what's your minority language may I ask?
if you'd like to learn a good bit of Welsh I'd recommend an app called Duolingo. Great language learning app
+Orion Barbalate are you yourself learning Welsh on duolingo?
Yes I am. And it's very effective.
+Orion Barbalate yeah! I'm doing Spanish, polish German and Welsh on duolingo and Welsh is by far the most fun to learn!
Ngā mihi tautoko ki ngā tangata o Wēra. Kia kaha tōu reo! Kia māia! Sending all Welsh speakers some support from New Zealand. Use whatever Welsh you know everyday. It's a beautiful language to listen to.
My mothers side of the family are Welsh.
They were a crazy bunch of tree worshiping-druids who would tell tales of times long since passed.
I loved them all!
Not related to Wales in any way, shape or form, but I completely memorized "Dacw Nghariad" phonetically because I just love that song so much.
Wales is the most Beutiful part of the UK, especially the people. I'm from London and dated a girl once from Llanelli. First time I visited her family it was like I was no longer in the UK. Took me to the estedford.
They speak pure Welsh in Argentina.
It's not as solid as proper Wales deh
Not quite; the Welsh now spoken in Patagonia has been heavily influenced ny native Spanish and - to some extent - by English. Da boch chwi.
Sorry but the Welsh spoken in southern Argentina since it´s so archaic is sometimes more genuine than what nowadays an average UK welsh speaker would think
I didn't know about that. I'm Brazilian and I know some Argentinians including one who lives in Patagonia but I didn't know. Thanks for the info
@@theweirdo8622 Wow! How did THAT happen?!
Thanks for sharing. I look forward to hearing more examples of the Welsh language. One of my ancestors immigrated to America from Wales in the mid-1700s.
Same here. My great-great grandparents both came from Caernarvon, Wales. They speak cofi, Northern Welsh.
Just say "Alright Boyo!" To people and you'll be fine in Wales
Your right there butty
Just stay away from Merthyr Tydfil.
Bong hit at 0:04
hahahahahaha
hahhaha... the sound of wales....
@Chris The Canadian Camper whoa
Lol
LMAOO what a huge rip
I learned Welsh as I virtually live there ( Bala , N Wales) in the Summer. I rarely have to use English in this area. Learning welsh has helped me to live a different life in a different culture and only 200 miles from my English town
My husband's great aunt is from Wales. She is a lovely person and I think her accent is beautiful! She comes to visit us every few years, so I've just started learning Welsh so I can speak a bit to her the next time she comes across the pond. It's a very pretty language in my opinion!
Yep, I'm part of the crowd that loves a Welsh accent.
I'm from Croatia and Wales is the second country I root for in football if we're out :) Looking forward to a good game today (and to visiting Cardiff one day)
Had the pleasure of visiting Croatia a couple of years ago for Croatia v Wales :)
What an absolutely beautiful country Croatia is. Hope you get to see Wales once travel is possible once again.
Umjesto za svoje iz 🇧🇦 🇷🇸 🇲🇪 ...

Diolch yn fawr iawn am hon. Dwy'n siarad Cymraeg. Da iawn I chi. 😁😁😁👍👍👍
"What's that now, love?" lmao
It's wonderful to speak Welsh. My Service Dog works in Welsh. Nobody speaks it around here so it's been great! While he works, he pays no attention to anyone else speaking English. I was born in Swansea.
Excellent and instructive video. I am planning to learn some Welsh by myself and to go there someday.
I am proud of my Welsh heritage
Trop bien cette vidéo. J'adore!!
i lovveeeeeeeeeeee this accent
Wales is a beautiful country.
The sound of Wales is that loud shattering you hear when all your hopes and dreams come crashing down on the floor.
ouch
This is offensive to me and everyone from Wales!
I am Australian and for some unknown reason I am very drawn to it I absolutely love to hear it.
Customer : bore da.
Taxi driver: fuck off im busy.
Okay, thanks to this video, I know how to pronounce "diolch". Every time I see it written, I pronounce it in my head the Gaelic way, which turns it into something like 'jollukh'.
Cheers from a Gaelic-speaking Australian -- who's been avoiding the UK at the moment because I fear I'll be disappointed with the lack of indigenous languages spoken. Maybe if there are lots of videos like this circulating, when I finally do go, I'll hear the languages spoken! For now, I'm just satisfying my curiosity of related languages by watching things in Welsh on RUclips.
what kind of fucking arse goes somewhere just to hear languages spoken?
Well that's nice man. Keep it up
Gaeilge nó Gaidhlig?
@@ivanduckford2009 and to add to that, why would you avoid an entire country who's language you like, just because you might not be able to understand it all? I mean wtf?
Welsh is only distantly related to Goidelic Celtic, Welsh is a Brythonic language related to Cornish and Breton, both are Celtic! and not Germanic!
Planning a trip soon to wales. I’m welsh on my fathers side and carry a name. My grandfather went years ago and went to his parents old village
That first dramatization was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Also as if there's a single Welsh taxi driver in Wales.
Maybe In Cardiff you'll have trouble finding a Welsh Taxi driver but in the valleys there are plenty, Blaenau Gwent is 99% White, it would be a shock if your taxi driver wasn't Welsh...
@@oli9609 Loads of Welsh ( speaking) Taxi drivers in Aberystwyth and Bangor...
the welsh dont act like that we love our country heritage
I'm from India and I love Welsh (Corgi) language ❤️🙏

Welsh is still spoken in Patagonia
Hello from Finland! Today I introduced my new Welsh colleague to some 'english' colleague saying something like 'Hey! There's Tony coming, he's a proper englishman'. My colleague responded by introducing himself and specifying he's from Wales. It wasn't an issue or anything but felt a bit peculiar, thus got me thinking and googling. Little did I know.. :)
for strangers like us , very difficult kisses from Switzerland ( Gstaad )
Lol but Mrs Evans was Welsh too
You can only hear wales when under the ocean🤣🤣🤣BTW Amazing love this language
The majority of my ancestry is Welsh, so I'd really love to be able to speak the language
Same. Well, mostly.
I'm not Welsh myself but my great great grandfather was and even being a far descendent I can barely notice the accent
Some English are shocked to discover we speak Welsh and they hate It!
I was born in Manchester then in 1991 I was 11 year old and moved with parents and two siblings to Swansea South Wales and I went to a all boys school called Penlan Comprehensive all boys school and I loved it that much I was there before the teachers arrived/opened the doors and I was the only pupil in the entire school who wasn't Welsh so had to follow 1 Religion and it mostly about the land...
After school I decided to get a paper round job and earn £10/£20 a week to help feed literally thousands of wild ponies...
One school mate was bullied all the time so I thought I help him and give him and his family support and I got my mate into karate lessons...
Caswell bay and mumbles bay was awesome when I was there because could walk along the beach and due to nobody being there it felt like it all belonged to me lol FREEDOM...
I explored my wildlife like I saw Crab spiders I never seen before with body being the size of a adult thumbs finger nail and spidees was either all yellow, all pink, all white and even purple and I spotted wild wall lizards, just an amazing place....
Coz my family missed home :^(
we moved back to Manchester year 1993 and I was bullied at school so started experiencing hearing voices so had to talk to a child psychologist and in the end I went to 13 schools around Manchester...
1998 me parents and two siblings moved to Cambridgeshire then Preston City and even though it was about 30 year ago I was at Swansea I still have the visions I experienced and it dominates my daily life coz I think of Swansea still like at least every 30 seconds...
Wish I had a mobile phone back in the year 1991...
If you ask anybody in UK excluding Wales what happened in 1966 The people in England, Scotland n Ireland mention England winning the world cup but me I was taught about Aberfan disaster and it like a secret like all over UK know what happened 1989 Hillsbourough disaster and notice 1991 there was no programmes on TV broadcasted from Wales ???
It's anywhere but
I ❤ Swansea
:o my family is from wales! I love these videos :D I was born in america tho Q-Q how i wish to go back to my family from across the sea.

The captions are Quality😂😂
I'm French Huguenot English Welch & Dutch...born In America Lisbon Ohio in 1981. This is cool I like it.
I have family in Wales. Always wanted to go to England then to Wales. Lack of money
The Welsh chief is from Cardiff he kept getting calls from a guest house in windamere.
No offense at all, but that turn edit at 0:20 just made me laugh a good bit.

Hullo from Huw King-Jones in Australia, obviously welsh heritage grandfather born in Ballarat a welsh speaker , g grandfather born Brynamman, gg grandfather born Llangadock and so on . A lot of my family can sing well unfortunately I can't
this is funny af
super super cheesey, i love it ❤
Welsh people are so beautiful.
I'm proud. I can pronounce the entire Llanfair name
Welsh and so have equal rights along with English in Wales, at least. Information on road signs written both in English and Welsh. The documents drawn up in two these languages too.
Can't access the link given in the video. :(
Welsh Gaelic is beautiful and must never disappear!! I am of Mexican descent and my Mesoamerican language and culture is gone forever. Please don't let Gaelic suffer the same fate because it's terrible not knowing who you are. 😢
Gaelic is completely different to Welsh
There are several native languages within the UK, English being the most common (due to their conquering nature). The others are Welsh, Gaelic Irish, Gaelic Scottish, (different to Irish), Manx, Cornish and I believe there's another in the outer islands (not too definite on that). They all have (except English) a common root with the old celtic Britons, but are not the same and you cannot converse in one and be understood by another.
@@ttothep2443 Gaelige or Irish isnt native to the island if Britan and the northern Irish don't like it
@@fearmorpiercemacmaghnais7186 Well perhaps that's true, but Ireland was once a part of Britain (even if you argue that it was an occupied invasion as was Wales and Scotland). It's language is also a part of the old Celtic tribes of this group of islands and as such the language shares a common root and should be included within the languages of the British Isles imho. It's still spoken in parts of the North isn't it?
@@ttothep2443 part of the British isles yes but just not part of the island of Britan even though a lot of people say that it's real name is the archipelago isles or the Celtic islands
Learning Welsh is easier in South Wales.
Hello - Arrite Butt.

Did an ancestry.com test. I had alot of wales in me. Never knew about it.
Who knows the relation between Welsh and Torcharians? If you do, do you know how to find those Torcharians in Wales?
Planning to learn this but I'm not sure if it's going to be useful
I'd say Wales and Scotland and Ireland and even England are beautiful countries , so most people know Wales exists.
They are technically the same country

I'm learning Welsh, but I don't often hear Welsh on the street in Cardiff. Well, you can see all the signs are bilingual, but not many people here speak it. It's a shame. I really want to hear more people speaking this beautiful language.
Welsh vs Gaelic would be a good episode
Wich Gaelic. Gaelige (Irish Gaelic) gaídhlig ( Scottish Gaelic ) or. Gaelg (manx Gaelic )
Wait this isn't a bit from some sitcom?
