#learning welsh

Today I learned that in 1985 they made a Welsh dubbed version of Scooby Doo- and I desperately want to watch it but apparently it's "lost media" 😭😭😭

Scooby Doo was my favorite kids show growing up and I'm searching for cartoons to watch in Welsh to improve my listening comprehension.

So if anyone here knows of any place to find it, or any other cool Welsh cartoons, let me know. (I know there's also SpongeBob in Welsh but I can't find that either- BBC iPlayer won't let me access it from the US 😥)

I have been using Duolingo to try to learn the language for around 2 months now, and I think I am making ok progress.

But I was wondering if there were any better apps more tailored for Welsh specifically, which would help me with grammar and such.

I do not have the option to go to a physical class, as I do not actually live in Wales.

And learning some vocabulary related to baking bread in my target language (Welsh) Vocab list at the end! (One day I will be proficient enough to make my posts in both english and welsh, but that day is far from now)

So, I made bread in my rice cooker! So soft, the texture is PERFECT and I ate it with a bit of cream cheese it was so good! Making it in the rice cooker prevents it from forming a hard crust, so it stays very soft, I recommend trying it!

An other advantage of this method, if you are currently experiencing a heatwave like me, is that the rice cooker doesn't heat up the house nearly as much as an oven, so you can have bread even if turning the oven on sounds like torture and certain death haha

Now for the Welsh vocab!

Bread: Bara

Crust: Crwst

To bake: Pobi

Flour: Blawd

To rise: Codi

To eat: Bwyta

I am baking bread: Dw i'n pobi bara

Let the bread rise before baking it: Gadewch i'r bara godi cyn ei bobi

There seems to be a few different words for "dough", I am still unsure which one to use in this situation! Also note in the last sentence I translated in welsh, there are quite a few mutations!

I have been compiling the Welsh Common names of as many butterflies as I can. Focusing on common butterflies in Wales and then looking at the meanings and origins of these common names.
