Problem
How do you recognize Welsh words when reading them?

Answer
Make up a sentence from the letter.

Welsh - English
mochyn - pig (M u n C H e s   any Y t h i N g;  Muddy not eaten by MOslems nO)
neidr - snake (Remember No I Do not Run, or N o t an a D d e R I hope)
teigr - tiger -(same letters mixed up, only the letter e is moved to make teiger; Gr! remember TeIGR, TeIGR, buRnInG bRIghT in the foREsT of ThE niGhT. )

English - Welsh
pig - m o c h y n
snake - n e i d r
tiger - t e i g r

Welsh - English
mochyn - pig
neidr - snake
teigr - tiger

Pronunciation
GOOGLE
Go to Google translate:
type in Google translate and up pops translate.google.com
Type in the word in English. Click on Welsh in the other box.
If you are translating from Welsh, click the reversing arrow at the top.
Click on the symbol for sound.
If I am typing in a lot of words and I am in a hurry I just type in the word No in English and up pops dim in Welsh.
After I have used this website several times, it remembers and the Welsh language appears second on the list across the top of the box.

DUOLINGO
If you want to learn Welsh pronunciation, you can find the pronunciation and hints on grammar and learning any language on the first page of Duolingo for that language by signing up for that language.

Snakes and tigers are scary, but you don't often see them in Wales except at a zoo, or in the books on Jungle in a bookshop in Fishguard.

What I find scary is the picture of people standing on a ledge which looks like a see-saw in Snowdonia.
