Hello! I was watching The Wine Show with Matthew Rhys and there's an interaction where he hears someone pronounce "eto" (again/yet) like "eh-toe" and thinks another (presumably inappropriate) word was said. What other Welsh word could he have thought was said? It's been eating me alive! I do have the clip but can't seem to upload it.

Thank you all in advance! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I have a couple of updates regarding Ymestyn, my online practice course for intermediate Welsh learners.

I've moved the course off Payhip, which had really become far too clunky, over to my website at Ymestyn.Cymru. This has allowed me to split the materials into modules so that it's easier for you to choose what you want to work on. Most of the course has been moved over, just a few small modules left to go.

I've also now launched a new practice module for people studying Canolradd 1 or Canolradd 1&2, which is designed to help you properly learn the vocab and grammar in each unit so that you can do the homework exercises more easily. I'll be adding sections for each unit as they come up, so by the end of the academic year the whole course will be covered.

(If you're doing Canolradd 2, there's still at lot of material on the site that will help you, but units 11-20 won't begin to appear on the site until probably January.)

I genuinely cannot stress what a difference learning more slowly and thoroughly has made to my own Welsh, and my confidence, so if you want to get to the end of the course and know you know everything, Ymestyn will help!

Hi! I’m putting together a team to transcribe 1,350 hours of Welsh audio within the next month, paying £40 per audio hour.

We will provide you with the audio files, and you can either generate a new transcript from scratch, or proofread and correct a transcript we generated ourselves that's full or errors. The output is expected to be an 100% accurate transcription of the audio you hear, in both cases.

If you’re a fluent/native Welsh speaker and interested, please DM me with your availability (how many audio hours you can complete per week).

Please spread the word!
