How’s your weekend going…?

I’ve had a six hour Welsh lesson online today, so I felt inspired this evening to share another of my Welsh language illustrations.

I created “Roedden ni'n sâl yn y Sw” or “We were sick at the Zoo” as I was struggling a bit with learning how to talk about things happening in the past, and the many different ways of describing being Poorly (and worse) in the Welsh spoken in North Wales. Yes, Cardiff or South Wales Welsh is different!

If you don’t speak Welsh, is my illustration good enough for you to guess what’s wrong with the animals….?  

Anyway, I hope you find it amusing!

Prints and some lovely learning aids and other items are available at:

Thanks! Diolch!

North Wales - We're Coming For You!

Cymraeg song of the day: Llyfr Gwag, by Gwilym, a band from Ynys Môn and Caernarfon, North Wales.

Lyrics (incomplete! from here)

Cadi, uffern o hogan. Cadi, titha chwyrligwgan. Cadi, a rhywiol styd yn dy drwyn. Cadi, ti'n gwbod dwi isio mwy.

Llygaid mêl a gwallt 'run lliw a dant y llew. [idk this line]

Mabli, â thrygionus wên. Mabli, ac yn ugion mor glên. Mabli, a dy gorsau mor hir. Mabli, ie nhw di hira'n y sir

Llygaid mêl a gwallt 'run lliw a dant y llew, Sy'n 'neud fi'n wirion.

Pwy arall sy'n caru Conwy?
