It’s a shame. I remember school, being told off for not speaking welsh, and at the time I found it annoying. Now I’m glad that they did, and find it upsetting that nobody speaks welsh.
Anffodus iawn

Shame there's no Welsh in the video. That's why I clicked.
People like him are the reason the Welsh are a dying people 😂 I can understand liking anime obviously but what kind of man jerks off to it?
Same lol
There's plenty from WikiTongues and similar channels 😊
Their was a time welsh was banned in wales. Makes sence they do this.
Same with the Gaelic speakers in Scotland and First Nation people in Canada
Looks like English was banned at your school. There* sense* that they*
Tbf I did not really process information at school well and forgot most of what I was taught, at least you understood what I was meaning to say. I guess im just someone who learns differently. I will admit those when texting on a phone I am lazy with punctuation.
@@StardustSnowdrops Girl, don't use that excuse.
You seem very decent at writing, in fact, your paragraph was written quite well.
Just get the homonyms correct, because it makes you look illiterate if you don't. Not saying this in a mean way, it's just an easy memorisation activity. Homonyms are words that sound similar but spelled differently, in this case "there":
• There: "there was a time", "look over there", "there is a house"
• Their: "their dog", "this is their house", "their toy", "their table"
Also, to explain the other errors:
• "that there": it is proper English to connect subordinate clauses (if you split a full sentence in half and each half doesn't make sense on its own, they are subordinate) with a conjunction. You do that naturally, except for "that", which is often dropped by English speakers. This wasn't really a mistake, you can get away with dropping the "that" in casual situations such as YT comment, but it's good to know when it should be used, in case you have to speak with, eg: your boss in the future.
• "Sense", not "sence". I give you the benefit of the doubt here, it's a common mistake, but easy to learn.
• "Wales", not "wales". Countries are written with a capital letters. It's like their names, it would be a bit rude not giving respect to the country.
In conclusion, it's a matter of basic reading activities. As long as you get "there" and "their" correct, I am happy.
@@cerebrummaximus3762bro gave a better english lecture than any other teacher in my school
Before anyone complains, look up the Welsh Knot and the deliberate, longtime (and nearly successful) attempt to stamp out Welsh culture and language by the English, then remember at least he, or at least his parents, chose to send him to one of the minority Welsh speaking schools. Not saying it’s still not a valid point that getting told off for speaking English is a bit archaic but make sure you know where it comes from.
As someone who learned sign language in school up to the highest level, being forced to speak a language or having your grade be affected when speaking another is to help keep you focused on learning that one.
Trying to learn a new language whilst keeping up with your native one is way harder than you think.
@@REvoLverj98In his situation, he was taught Welsh as a first language meaning this WAS his native language, you are then taught the basics of English grammar and since everyone speaks it anyway in Wales it works out
I'm so envious. I am Welsh but went to English-speaking schools that were absolutely terrible at teaching Welsh.
I feel like there's a piece of me missing by not being able to speak my mother tongue.
Can still learn, easier now than ever...loads of material, I'm English spent 4 years in Wales at Uni, decided I'd like to learn it
Lots of amazing and VERY affordable courses online via Dysgu Cymru. Did an intensive for several years through the Covid Pandemic.
As a Croatian by blood slowly having to learn my language by myself since nobody taught me I can feel your pain! It's honestly so important to get in touch with your immediate roots, it'll always feel like a big part of you is missing... Are you desiring of some day reconnecting with your ancestors' tongue and willing to learn? Are you already and if so, how's it going? Welsh language speek is quite difficult to accquire since the Welsh language isn't really part of any of the big linguistic families most other prominent Indo-European languages within Europe belong to! Much look to you either way but I strongly advise you to learn your ethnic, cultural, ancestral language - Welsh!
@@aldozilli1293The younger you yourself and your brain is, the easier it'll be to learn, so yes, definitely! That's so cool, what an interesting old language within the greater island of Britannia! Glad to hear that the Anglo-Saxons couldn't fully extinguish the flames of Irish, Welsh or even Scottish culture within the modern UK, beautiful!!!
I'm from Ireland and I'm the same. I feel lucky that I'm okay at conversational Irish. There's a decent amount of gealscoils around, but there's more English schools around and Irish is taught so poorly that almost no one speak much if any Irish. It really does feel like a piece of my culture is almost dying🍊
I always meet Welsh native speakers saying "I'm bad at English". They are so humble. At least their English is ten times better than mine.😢
That is so sweet. Diolch.
@@ac1646 Croeso! Dw i'n hoffi Cymru a Cymraeg!
No shame in that, its like being in another country. You can always learn English. Having another language is fantastic 👌
Im always jealous that Welsh people have the privilege of being able to learn and speak their native language. I am Cornish and whilst we are getting a small revival of the previously dead, Cornish language through Welsh speakers, we don't have enough recovered to teach the language to be spoken fluently. Even if we did, because we aren't independent from England and we never will be, it most likely wouldnt be taught in our primary schools... 😞
which is a shame because the bits of cornish I've heard sound really nice! At least to my untrained ears it does seem to have some similarities to Welsh (lived in Wales for about 5 years)
For me and many others it's the opposite, and I wish it weren't sometimes. I have Welsh grandparents, but was sent to English-speaking schools in England on purpose because of the prejudice against Welsh people at the time (1990s), and once my grandparents passed away there was no-one to teach me or speak with me, so I never became fluent or used the tongue in my youth. It feels like a part of our heritage is missing or lost or stolen. As if ancient bigotry has robbed us of identity. Am trying to teach myself to speak and write Cymraeg now as an adult, and I've even moved to Wales as part of that journey, but it's really difficult when you consider that nowadays it's thought that only about 30-40% of the native population actually speak Welsh at all (and then it's in different regional dialects), plus if you look and sound English as a person living/working in Wales the native speakers are understandably reluctant to use spoken Cymraeg with you. It's heartbreaking.
I feel your pain. My Welsh mother married my Welsh father and moved into my father's Welsh speaking family home. The problem was mum wasn't Welsh speaking so didn't want us to be brought up speaking Welsh. It feels so close yet so far away.
Man-gu (Grandmother) lived with us too but her English wasn't great and I feel so sad she wasn't able to converse with us or us her.
Okay, so what I’m hearing is…CDawg needs to record an audiobook for Howl’s Moving Castle! 🙌
I'm English and I'm very glad that they made this change in Wales. Makes me sad that our neighbour's culture was almost erased
@@BrandydocMeriabuck Diolch yn Fawr Iawn👍 Thank You Very much 👍🏴🏴🏴
They are teaching Welsh to keep the language alive. Scot's Gaelic, Irish, and Welsh are the Celtic Nation languages.
As an American, I've always found Welsh an interesting language. I'm planning to move and get my degree in Wales, and I plan to learn it at some point
You wont need Welsh at all to live in Wales, by the way, English is a far more commonly spoken language here. However your dedication to learning it would be appreciated all the same.
If you plan to study in the North, it may be more valuable, as thats where the majority of Welsh speakers are, but if you plan to study in the South, around the big cities, you wont get much use out of Welsh.
@@lj_aderyni have a question.in cardiff, you guys have schools that teach english and occasional welsh or what ? And do u guys do igcses and alevels too ?
@@starrymara Welsh is a mandatory subject in all schools in Wales.
Though unless you are going to a Welsh-speaking school specifically, it's not a major focus. But there are GCSEs for it.
A-levels also exist for Welsh but that's obviously at the point where it becomes optional.
I could listen to him for hours
As a person who had English as a subject since grade 1, I have been listening to Conner to improve my English for years.
It's amazing they pushed you to learn Welsh, Do NOT let your language die lads
I wish the Anglos and Britons had to learn Welsh and English in schools. So many multilingual people in the world and England wont teach the Native tounge of the british isles cmon.
That’s because England would then have to face the fact that English is not native to Britain. It be language or culture. And that goes against the narrative of they’re British.
@@alynwillams4297 who's to say Celts were the first natives though there may have been inhabitants before their arrival similar to the Basques.
@@Heretogasunu the Britons (modern Welsh) are regarded as the natives of Britain. And all so have a completely different genetic make up to that of England, Scotland and Ireland. According to a study done by Oxford university.
@alynwillams4297 what study, it doesn't seem that likely that the Welsh would be too different from anyone else in the isles
@@jacobjones1457 information is easily found online. There was a study a couple of years back done by oxford university about the genetic make up of the UK and they took thousands of samples from different parts. They found that Wales has a completely different genetic make up to that of the rest of the UK but all so found that the makeup all so changes between north wales and south wales slightly. And that in the south of England nearly 50% have Germanic ancestry .

Welsh and English very different? Like how different are they?

tl;dr nothing alike.
it's more of a celtic language completely isolated from germanic languages like English. At most you might have a few loanwords between the two during the saxon occupation of england which would affect and be affected by middle english (different from 1700s elizabethan english). Middle english is so drastically different to modern english that you probably wouldn't recognize if a modern word evolved from it

Isn’t it strange how people complain about their Welsh medium education when it has obviously been very beneficial to them.
You never ever hear people from other countries complain that the language of instruction in their schools is the language of the country. Welsh schools in Wales of all places?? Goodnes me!
What do you mean "has obviously been very beneficial to them"? What are these obvious benefits, and why do people still complain about it if these benefits are so obvious?
@@dramotarker1352 He claims he ‘is very bad at English’…. while speaking it in this video to a high degree of fluency. This Welsh medium education was apparently so bad and damaging it got him into university?? On top of all that the evidence speaks for itself. Those who attend Welsh medium schools achieve higher grades in both English Language and English Literature grades at GCSE than their counterparts in the English medium sector.
If he didn’t want to be at this (alleged) disadvantage why did he not ask to move schools? Only he can answer that of course but if the situation was anything like it is in my town, the English medium school is a dump and the Welsh medium school is pretty good, oversubscribed, and has a waiting list of pupils wanting to enrol. Says it all.

Not really holding back. I went to a welsh school and my English is very good because it comes naturally to us since everyone can speak English but I can now better understand my culture and I can pronounce the name of my town and I have something to be proud of. Globalization is sad.
He's being very humble. His English is native, and he's obviously fairly articulate in English. Maybe his English writing could perhaps be improved (so could all of ours), but with the native-level English he has, it wouldn't be difficult for him to improve. He also went to an English (or at least, English-speaking) university, so he has definitely written in academic English before.
I'm sure his English is much better than most international students (like me) in the UK. He is just being humble. And he is a true bilingual, fluent in both Welsh and English, while native English speakers are often bad at learning another language.
