How to Learn to recognize and remember Welsh words: hen, wolf, shark, owl, goat

Problem
How do you remember Welsh words?

Answer
List them twice in a notebook, Welsh English and English Welsh. Test yourself by covering half the page.

Welsh - English
blaidd - wolf (If I had a blade I'd rescue Red Riding Hood from the wolf.)
gafr - goat (GAfr - GoAt. The f and the t are both letters with uprights.)
Lar - hen (LAr - LAy eggs, hen, layer)
siark - shark (Sounds like shark. Same sound as the name Sian pronounced like Shawn.)

English - Welsh
goat - gafr -(like gaffer meaning old guy or boss)
hen - lar (looks like layer)
shark -siark
wolf - blaidd (Remember y turns to i often in the middle of a word. Double d at the end, like a double blade.
