Andrew Woode? im not really impressed?

wtf? impressed with what? u havent the faintest clue what's going on.

you have no welsh and no irish.

If you had bothered to read my post you would have noticed I made no
claim to any Irish (and therefore made no comment on the quality of
yours).

As for my Welsh, it is appallingly out of practice, and was always a
largely self-taught fifth or sixth foreign language. But I suppose I
will have to prove it's not entirely non-existent.

Pan yr oeddwn i yn dysgu Cymraeg, roedd llawer o Gymry Cymraeg yn help
mawr i mi; roedden nhw yn amyneddgar iawn ac yn barod i fy nherbyn i
- mae'n ddrwg gen i - 'nerbyn'
yn y gymuned Gymraeg leol (er fy mod i yn Sais!). A pan ga i y cyfle i
fynychu digwyddiadau Cymraeg rwan, dw i'n ffindio yr un peth. Yr
agwedd hwn yw yr unig ffordd i warantu dyfodol yr iaith, nid casineb
tuag at bawb sy ddim yn cytuno efo chi. Mae gormod o ragfarn yn erbyn
y Cymry a'r Gymraeg - dim pwynt ei hybu.

When I was learning Welsh, lots of native speakers were a great help
to me, extremely patient and ready to accept me in the local Welsh-
speaking community (despite me being English!). And when I have the
chance to attend Welsh-speaking events nowadays, I find the same
thing. This attitude is the only way to guarantee the future of the
language, not hatred towards anyone who disagrees with you. There's
enough prejudice against the Welsh and their language already - no
point encouraging it.



what LITTLE you've read in books. clueless nothings. you havent done
anything or been anywhere. you are shallow and full of hate. so
consumed with hate you have to go on the internet to spread it.

you guys are basically just scum.

You are really not doing yourself any favours here; even if you were
the greatest of linguistic experts (and so far the evidence for that
is less than overwhelming), you would have made few friends by your
attitude.
