Learn Welsh words: Spider, fly, monkey, goose

Problem
How do I recognize and remember Welsh words? Several start with the same letter. Recognising Welsh is easier. The harder part is reconstructing the rest of the word. Pronunciation is different, learning to recognize the sounds. If you hear a word spoken several times, you might also imagine the spelling on a page.
