As a Welsh man living in Wales and who can speak fluent welsh, I understood everything you said in welsh. Some annunciation was off but that's to be expected. Just sound it confidently because you sounded shy but you did wonderful. Most speakers in wales are west Wales and North Wales. I'd say the welsh I heard from you would be to the standard of a 7 or 8 year old learning in school. More than competent to get by with. Great job! Well done! Ardderchog!

It is a shame, yes. Grew up in North Wales as an English person, (born in England to English parents), and it always struck me as odd how there was so much passion for being Welsh yet so little effort to learn it. It's 2023, there's literally no excuses anymore, you can learn on dozens of platforms and go to classes, but not many do. And they all speak English, support English football teams, love Only Fools and Horses....and hate the English! Baffling. Imagine I lived in England, supported Swansea, spoke Welsh and loved Pobl y Cwm and absolutely hated the Welsh? 😂

Maybe if you go to the North Coast, like Bangor, it might not be the majority that speaks it due to there being English Schools, a University, and further east you'll come closer to Merseyside so there'll be less Welsh prevalence there. But there's definitely more than just one town in Gwynedd that is more dominantly Welsh speaking😋

The trouble was, during the 70s, 80s and 90s the Cardiff school system placed a firm emphasis on learning French, "as it would be more useful, and would allow for better job prospects", so Welsh was pretty much sidelined. You also couldn't take two languages, and the French departments always seemed better funded and supplied, so for many the choice was made for us. Those that took Welsh all had the last laugh, because not only could they find decent jobs in the film, TV and entertainment industry, but French is almost useless in Northern France as they all now speak Arabic.

I love the complete oblviousness of many who just dont realise there such a vibrant welsh language community in South Wales - theres a real assumption (as shown by the fruit seller) that its all down west and up north, but you hit the nail on the head - lots of people speak welsh in the south, its just been so battered out of us that many dont 'see the point'... well done on coming to visit and learning the language. You bumped into possibly one of the most passionate welsh speakers I know too - which is probably more luck than anything! Excellent video.

Hi mate I am the fruit seller from the video, and it's not even obliviousness, growing up in cardiff I can count the fluent welsh speakers I've met in 27years on my one hand and I've known a few ppl to go to welsh speaking high schools too and even they dont know how to speak fluently once theyve left school for a few years, it's a sad truth but it is almost dead in Cardiff (at least for my age bracket anyway) in school we had welsh lessons and were literally aloud to have a free lesson during Welsh periods if we wished and even got to avoid doing the end of year welsh exam altogether if we opted out, looking back I'd wish id learnt but alot more emphasis was put on learning French and German through my school experience in Cardiff

@@justchanneljax6000 @justchanneljax6000 hey mate, that's fair - didn't mean for what I said to come across as a criticism of you personally - so sorry for that. I will say your experience isn't unique - lots of people just don't see the thriving Welsh language and without trying to sound critical of you or anyone, but many don't make any effort to try and see it. Here we had someone make the effort to learn enough Welsh to have a reasonable conversation and in many situations his response was 'i don't speak welsh', where as if all of us who don't speak welsh took a bit of time and effort to learn some token phrases you'd be surprised how many people do. In regards to school, times are changing - Welsh in English medium schools is still pretty dire mind, but Welsh language education is growing in popularity and many kids are growing up speaking fluently (my own kid for example) because Welsh education has got a lot better than when we were kids 😂 Once again, sorry if I came across as having a go at you personally. Not my intention at all. And If you fancy it, give Duolingo a go. There's really good free Welsh lessons on there that would help you have really short Welsh conversations with customers in future and you might be surprised how many you've got :)

What I love most about Welsh is that it's phonetic and the mutations are so easy to follow: Once you know one mutation, you can figure out the logic of them all. One error you were making is using the familiar 'you' (y'tin) rather than the respectful/stranger 'you' (rhydycyn) It's such a shame that more people from Welsh don't learn Welsh. There's a really inspirational story about a Welsh politician who went on hunger strike in the 1990s in order to pressure the UK Government into keeping its promise to establish a Welsh language TV channel. He won and that's why S4C exists.

Been watching your channel for years and I’m absolutely devastated I didn’t see you or even know you were here speaking our language. I live 5 mins from the markets 😩 unfortunately in time our language will be lost it seems. Thank you for showing it to the world. Keep doing what you do. Pleasure to watch and an absolute gentleman 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
