#cerddoriaeth

Ps. What i really apraciate in Welsh so far is lack of (idk if true yet just from what ive seen so far) articles! Since my mother tongue doesnt have those its so much more natural for me.

Thanks for reading this!

greetings from wales! the lack of indefinite articles is definitely one of the perks of welsh. luckily the only articles you need to learn are the ones for 'the': y (before a word beginning in a consenant), yr (before a word beginning with a vowel and h) and 'r (after a word ending in a vowel)

so like:

the cat - y gath 🐱

the apple - yr afal 🍎

here is the skull - dyma'r benglog 👉💀

anyway, enough of grammar. WELSH MEDIA!

S4C - the Welsh language channel, with a section just for learners

Movies set in Wales:

Pride - About the gay activism that defined part of the 1984 miners' strikes.

Twin Town - My old science teacher was in it. That's all you need to know.

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill, but Came Down a Mountain - Garth Hill, my beloved <3. Oh, also Hugh Grant is in it, but this isn't about him.

TV Shows to just jump in, cause why not:

Dal Y Mellt - The first Welsh language show on Netflix. Might only be available on UK Netflix, but you might be able to find it somewhere else too.

Y Gwyll (Hinterland) - Noir, police detective drama set in Aberystwyth. Available on iPlayer, Prime, S4C and ITVX. Y Gwyll is the Welsh language one, and after its success, they filmed Hinterland in English.

Iaith ar Daith - Celebrities and their Welsh-speaking mentors travel around Wales learning the language and just generally having fun. I used to binge watch this.

Welsh Music:

Spotify link to a playlist of Welsh songs

My favourite Welsh artists, because there are too many really good, famous Welsh artists to mention in one list:

Catatonia - 90s indie rock band from Cardiff. I will never shut up about International Velvet. Mainly English, but some Welsh.

Candelas - rock band from Llanuwchllyn. Mainly Welsh, but some English.

Adwaith - women <3

Nia Wyn - beautiful storytelling, vocals and guitar.

Calfari - they may only have one and a half albums, but Gwenllian is a banger, okay

you can listen to the album here:

I have actually gone ahead and scheduled way more of the weekly posts than you can find on this blog right now, so the playlist is well ahead of the posts on here at the moment, but with patience you'll have the posts too! If you still want to check it out, they're here, and I've now linked the playlist in my pinned post also.

Heddiw dw i eisiau siarad am gerddoriaeth. (Echdoe roedd y Dydd Miwsig Cymru ond dw i'n hwyr, y thema fy mlog i) Dw i'n mynd i rannu pum cerddor/band. Heb drefn penodol:

Chwalaw: Darganfyddais i nhw trwy Rownd a Rownd ac eu cân "Diflanu". Mae'n well gyda fi eu cân "Dim Arwyr". Dyna gân efo alaw sorbiaidd, iaith lleiafrifol o'r Sorbiaid yn Sacsoni a Brandenburg (taleithiau yr Almaen)

Adwaith: Dw i ddim yn cofio sut darganfyddais i nhw ond dw i'n hoffi eu cerddoriaeth. Gaethon nhw gynherddau yn yr Iseldiroedd yr wythnos 'ma a ro'n i eisiau mynd. Ond does dim amser gyda fi (a dw i ddim yn byw ger yr Iseldiroedd ar hyn o bryd) Er hynny dw i eisiau mynd ar gyngerdd yn y dyfodol. (Ella ym mis Mai yn Antwerpen, gwelwn ni) Un rhwng fy hoff gân yw "Cwympo".

Sŵnami: Dw i ddim yn cofio chwaith, ond dw i'n gwybod bod nhw fy hoff fand cynta pwy sy'n canu yn y Gymraeg. Dw i'n meddwl oedd "Mynd a Dod" y cân cynta clywais i ganddyn nhw, ond dw i ddim yn siŵr. Dw i'n hoffi "Wyt Ti'n Clywed".

Gwilym: Dw i'n nabod nhw ers sbel ond oedd y fideo ar Lŵp am eu halbwm newydd "ti are dy ora' pan ti'n canu" yn... ansefydlog ond grêt. Yr holl albwm yw grêt. Dw i'n hoffi "Dwi'n cychwyn tân"

Thallo: Darganfyddais i nhw trwy Lŵp, sianel YouTube efo cerddoriaeth Cymraeg. Dw i'n hoffi ei chân "Pluo", y clarinét yn arbennig.

Os gennych chi argymhellion dwedwch wrtha i! :D
