Flag of Wales. Welsh Dragon.
Here's a reminder of the words from the previous post.
Ten easy, or useful, words in Welshall
I originally found my favourite Welsh words in Google translate. Then I added from Learn a Little Welsh on page 28 of the free brochure Last Invasion Country, visitor guide to North Pembrokeshire. Plus, signs I had seen.
Some of the words are repeated. By saying a word three times, you are more likely to remember it.
English - Welsh
good morning - bore da
good night - nos da
hello - helo
welcome - croeso (you see this on lots of signposts)
goodbye - hwyl fawr (hoo-eel-vowrr)
thank you - diolch (dee-olch)
Hello - helo
Goodbye
bye

thanks
Thank you
please
water
wine
beer - cwrw
business park - parc
slow down
port
bay - bae
and
the
my
your
our
their
ticket
toilet
where
where is
who
what
why
yes
no
welcome
one - un
two - dau
three - tri
What if you would rather go it alone, in a hurry, or your first language is not English?
You could learn between one word and ten words (or a hundred!) every day. Better still, learn one sentence, or ten (or a hundred!) every day. Translate or your mentor. Create sentences you actually want to use according to your daily needs. For example:
Where is the toilet?
I would like a glass of water.
Please.
Thank you.
I would like to buy a sandwich. Do you have anything cheaper?
What time is breakfast?
How do I get the internet?
Where is the restaurant?
Where is the bar?
Where can I park?
Hotel/cheap hotel
bar/bar which is open
restaurant
bridge
mountain
estuary
bay
beach
a walk
Google translate gives me
