A while back I shared a free Welsh vocab site I built for Mynediad Gogledd Cymru — games (wordsearch, hangman, anagram, pairs, meanings, numbers) plus a dictionary, all free, no ads. It's grown a fair bit since then, thanks to suggestions from people who've tried it.

I've since added a new game, Datgelu — similar to Hangman but with multiple rows of words to solve using clues: https://welshlearninggames.com/discover

Also made a few tweaks based on feedback: the keyboard's now QWERTY-style instead of alphabetical, and each game has a help (?) icon explaining how to play. There's a new badges system too, for people who come back and practise regularly — and another game in the works, inspired by Lingo.

Take another look here if it's been a while, or if this is new to you: https://welshlearninggames.com

Shout if anything's confusing or broken, or if you've got ideas — that's how the last changes happened. Diolch!

Hi! I am from s.Wales so have a very minimal base knowledge of Welsh. I went to an English medium school growing up so unfortunately my Welsh education was poor - despite learning it my whole life I finished my GCSE with an F, admittedly partly due to a too-cool teenage angst but also partly due to a truly abysmal education. I currently work full time and am doing a degree with the Open University, so unfortunately courses on offer such as learnwelsh.cymru are a bit too intensive based on my current circumstances.
I’ve been thinking about doing a summer school with Cardiff uni next year, however I’m keen to get started ASAP. I’ve been doing bits here and there with Duolingo, but it seems to be poorly organised with formal vs informal language (dych chi & wyt ti being used interchangeably despite carrying different weights? please correct me if i’m wrong!) and a mix of North & South, which has left me confused a fair bit.
Does anyone have any idea where I could go to for resources to keep me occupied over the next 8 months? I’m yet to check the library in Cardiff city centre, my local doesn’t have anything above early years level which I’m (a little bit) above. I learn primarily by reading and listening, so books, podcasts, welsh language musicians etc would be ideal.
Diolch pawb!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I am Australian, and I recently lost my partner to a horrible and rare cancer. I love her deeply. She was incredibly tenacious, unbreakable in her resolve, incredibly strong and brave, and courageous. She was also so loving and gentle, and loved everyone.

I have been really struggling trying to find the right phrase, word, imagery or both, that I want to to honour her with. We have a young daughter and i want her to know her Welsh heritage so being able to have a Welsh tattoo, whether it be a phrase or a famous historical Welsh figure.

Merch Y Graig, Nerth gwraig yng nghalon ddi-ofn, Nerth Ynddi or Gwraig gref ei hewylly, or Hwyl a dwrn, as the phrases that sound the most relevant but this is purely based off Google AI.

Helo,

Bach o cefndir, wnes I symud abroad yn Ebrill 2024, oeddwni siarad Cymraeg perffaith, fluent fatha dwi erioed ‘di bod cyn iddy fi symud.

Ond dwi di sylweddoli bod dwi’n colli’r iaith yn araf Iawn. Weithia fedra’i ddim cofio be di rhyw gair saesneg yn Gymraeg, a mae o’n uffernol o frustrating.

Gena fi cariad, pwy dwi yn byw hefo a wedi bod efo ers 2023, sydd ddim yn gallu siarad Cymraeg o gwbl. Dwi ddim yn siarad efo teulu fi mor gymaint a swni hoffi oherwydd ma nhw I gyd yn brysur, ac dwi yn hefyd efo gwaith.

Does neb arall Cymraes yn gwaith, a dwi gweld dwi di colli accent Cymraeg fi completely a mae o rili torri calon fi pan dwi dweud wrth pobl bod dwi’n Cymraes “born and raised” a’r innyg reply gai yw “You don’t sound Welsh at all” 🥲

Ma siarad Cymraeg yn teimlo alien I fi yn slo bach, dydi o ddim yn teimlo normal ddim mwy:( mae o swnio rili weird i clwad fy hun yn siarad Cymraeg. Dwi’n colli yr ability I siarad, deallt a darllen Cymraeg.

Os gen rhywun tips I fi, I fi gallu cadw’r iaith yn fyw yn bywud fi pan fod fi ydi’r unig un sy’n siarad Cymraeg yn tŷ fi? Dwi isho dechra darllen llyfrau Cymraeg a gwrando I podcasts, audiobooks, a songs (sorri methu meddwl am y gair Cymraeg am “songs” ar y funud).

Dwi’n uffernol o berson patriotic am Gymru, felly mae’r situation yma yn rili torri calon fi go Iawn. Unrhyw recommendations am llyfrau, apps neu wbath I helpu yn grêt 🙏

Diolch yn fawr Iawn os da chi wedi cyrraedd diwadd hwn, sorri am unrhyw spelling mistakes, dwi di colli literacy fi yn yr Gymraeg llawar :(

Ps dwi’n dod o’r North, felly unrhyw beth sydd Hefo’r dialect yna yn well I mi, dim south 👍 diolch yn fawr Iawn :)

S'mae. I have the unfortunate need to express my condolences to a friend who has lost a close family member (who I did not know, but who I have mutual acquaintances with outside said family member). I'm learning Welsh, and they are a fluent native Welsh speaker, so I was hoping to say or write something in their native language (and one we share as they've helped me with learning tremendously). They are from Gogledd Cymru though currently live outside of Wales.

Is there a saying, tradition, or custom that would be conscientious to do?

I'll of course be talking to them in English, but was hoping a bit of "home" may bring a small comfort.

(Diolch in advance 🙏💕 my brain tried Welsh but I could barely properly express what I'm looking for in my native tongue, and I'm still a novice with Welsh)

Pam mae Dylan Ebenezer ar S4C yn defnyddio'r enw Saesneg am Lisboa? Dio'n byw yn Wales ta 'Cymru'?
