because my late parents were Welsh speakers, I live in Aberhonddu and I love the sound of the language.

I want to be a Welsh speaker because I have Welsh ancestry. Also, when I visited Wales, I was impressed to hear Welsh being spoken. But it was hearing Only Boys Allowed, singing Calon Lan, on Brittanās Got Talent, that pushed me over the edge to learn.
I hope to be able to use it if and when I get to visit Wales again. In the mean time, I would like to find someone on line to practice with. Either by skype, zoom or Facebook messenger.

I want to be a Welsh speaker because it was taught poorly at my school and I now have time to do something about it. https://ssi-cyhoeddus.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/recording/1493/6min_10_onesentence.mp3

I want to be a Welsh speaker because me and my son moved to South Wales two years ago after I fell in love with the country on many holidays, and my son will need to learn Welsh for GCSE, so I want to support him and also I feel it is a respect thing to move to Wales and try and learn Welsh!

Are you in the free Welsh Speaking Practice Slack group, @davidhamilton? There are people there happy to set up online chats. Send an email to admin@saysomethingin.com and request an invitation if youāre not a member and youād like to join
I tried Slack through a link in one of the lessons. It was time consuming and not successful. I am not hopeful that it may be an option for me. And I have Skype and zoom and Facebook messenger that all work very nicely and easily. But, thank you for the email link. I will try an invitation. But not promising to spend a lot of time setting it up.

Once youāre into the SSiW 6/6 Support Slack, you can ignore everything except the #group-video-sessions channel, if you like. Thatās where the Zoom session links are posted, so if youāre familiar with Zoom, that will work a treat for you. The timetable for the Zoom sessions is in the #1-start-here channel.

I was born in wales and although my father was a welsh speaker, my mother was not and so we children grew up speaking English. My Nain spoke welsh to me when i visited her but she died when i was only eight. I went to a welsh grammar school and learned some welsh there but as a foreign language. I can remember being rather jealous of the boys and girls from a welsh background who could speak it fluently but they were taught in separate classes. I went to university at Bangor and many of my friends there spoke welsh as their first language and so i became quite competent after four years. Unfortunately, I spent the whole of my working life in England and so never really had much chance to speak the limited amount that i remember. This course has been very interesting so far and dwi mwynhau dysgu cymraeg eto.

I moved to North Wales (Rhyl) two years ago and hopefully now when I travel to different areas in Wales I will be able to have a little chat in Welsh.

My fatherās first language was Welsh. He died when I was three. Iām 69 now and I want to learn Welsh and be a part of a Welsh community. Iāve got to Level One, lesson 20. Iām amazed how my memory is improving.
Iām not a confident person but hope to join in a walk with Welsh speakers in nearby Shropshire soon. X

I want to be a Welsh speaker because I want to understand the culture and landscape of these islands through the lens of this ancient language and I very much want the Welsh language to continue in the future. Also I had a Welsh Primary School teacher from Anglesey when I was 9 to 11 and I was totally fascinated that her first language was Welsh. And she got me totally obsessed with Welsh stories and legends. One thing I hope will happen is that speaking Welsh will open up a new way of understanding the world.

I want to be a Welsh speaker because I want to feel complete, knowing I speak the language of my ancestors, and I want to be able to connect with all aspects of Welsh culture.
