| side note - By the way...
Yes I know it isn't an actual country, I was more using it in the 'land' sense of the word, not the nation sense. | |

| Learning Welsh in the US - Hi Shannon and Princess,
There are actually lots of people here in the US who speak Welsh; it's just a matter of finding them. California actually has the second largest Welsh population in the US. If you tell me what part of the country you are in, I could tell you where the closests Welsh class would be. Alternatively you could consider attending Welsh Heritage Week or Cwrs Cymraeg, both of which move around the country. And last, but not least, there are tons of resouces online; go to bbc.co.uk/cymru and click on the Learning Welsh link to see what is available for free! Hwyl, Robert Jones | |

| My own PS - Hehe,
Yes, Wales is an actual country, not an independent one, but a country nonetheless. It is currently defined as one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom, along with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is also on the first stage of "Devolution", a process by which, in the fullness of time, it will be independent. The capital and National Assembly (Y Cynulliad) are in Cardiff in the SE of Wales. Hwyl, RJJ | |

Well I Just Happen to be Fluent in Welsh and English and would be happy to help. 2 Minor things. 1 I'm only 16 and 2 I've never done this kinda thing before. But I'm sure some of my friends will be able to helpu ti siariad y Gymraeg! (Help you speak Welsh). And we really don't like being part of the commonwealth and the Assembly actually makes us semi-constitutional. But close enough, lol. If your Interested in learning the Greatest Language on earth (and one of the oldest) Give me an e-mail @ [email]davidjohn88@hotmail.com[/email] with your real name (as it makes one on one teaching easier), How much you already know, Your home address (as from time to time i can send you stuff from Welsh teachers in my ysgol (school)) and a rough idea to what resources are already at you disposal. Ddiolch yn fawr, ac Pam fi Duw? Hywl fawr iawn, Dai | |

| - It seems I have stumbled upon several people akin to myself. I have alot of Welsh blood in me, but no one in my family has spoken the language here on the East Coast of the US for several hundred years. | |

| - I also am intereted in learning Welsh, it is probably one of the most naturaly beautiful countries in the world, and the language represents it. Although it isn't my first choice of a second language to learn, it is up there. | |

| Once Again - Well I have had 2 people asking me about welsh. One of which was a real enquiry, the other was asking for a word that doesn't exist. Well If you want to learn welsh I'll make it simple. Write your name, address, how much you know and why you want to learn welsh to davidjohn88@gmail.com and i'll be happy to help you learn. I'm native and It's annoying that no one is actually following up. Theres about a million of us that speak welsh (Despite what some books say). So send me an email and make it a million and one. K. cheers. Dai | |
