Siop-Siarad - to help you learn to write, read and speak Welsh More news - Mwy o newyddion We've been published by the BBC. If you are learning to speak Welsh and arrive in a different valley, you may be amused - click here. Rydym ar wefan y BBC - cliciwch yma If you are trying to get to learn to write and speak a language (especially one as complex as Welsh) you will know exactly what I mean - books everywhere, bits of reference here, crumpled notes there, verbs minus their past, present or future tenses. Just trying to learn a mutation or write a single paragraph is a monumental task for learners that seems to take forever! In this web site I have attempted to help learners to write and speak Cymraeg and to bring all these disparate points of reference into a single document that is easy to use and avoids (I hope) unnecessary pomp and is idiot (like me) friendly. I have no doubt there are many errors and omissions on the following pages - just e-mail, and I will correct! If  you identify areas I have missed totally (more common phrases, idioms, verbs, dare I say ... mutations) please do send in, together with your own stories for publication - in English and Welsh, of course but do include drawings/photographs where possible, copy is so much more easy to read, speak and write with the help of pictures! If you get it wrong, don't worry ... that is what the site is all about ... learning by having a go and gaining confidence that can be transferred to your spoken Welsh. There are many kind and patient Welsh-fluent people out there who will put learners of this fascinating language right!
