Helo Siarls, sut wyt ti? Gobeitho fod di'n gorffwys ar ôl dy waith.

Mae'n boeth iawn ac yn laith o hyd fan hyn. Ond mae tipyn yn glaear yn y bore o'r diwedd. Dathlon ni bennau blwydd i dri o'r blant ddydd Llun. Wnes i dair gacen pen blwydd! Ro'n i wedi blino'n lân! Well da fi ddysgu Cymraeg!

Hello Siarls, how are you? I hope you're resting after your work.

It's still hot and humid here. But it's a bit cool in the morning at last. We celebrated birthdays for three of our children on Monday. I made three birthday cakes! I was exhausted! I'd rather be learning Welsh!

Helo pawb,

Ar ol roedd Katrina wedi pasio trwy'r ardal hon, mae'r tywydd wedi bod yn prydferth iawn. Pryd daeth y storm trwy 'ma oedd hi'n gwan. Ro'n ni wedi cael llawer o law heb wynt neu'r dilywiau yn ffodus. Mae gyda ni ddyddiau haulog a dwym bellach.

Mae'r tywydd fan hon yn anrhagweladwy* iawn ar y funud. Wel, a dweud y gwir wrthoch, ti'n gallu daroganu a fydd hi'n** braf neu fwrw glaw achos bod yn gwneud un neu lall*** ar ddyddiau eiledol.****

*unpredictable
**you can predict whether it will be
***one or the other

Mae hi'n Dydd Owain Glyndw?r heddiw! Does dim newyddion amdani ar BBC Wales. Mae rhaid bod rhywbeth o' i le. Gwna i gacen Glyndw?r yn p'nawn ma. (Dw i'n frwd y tro ma!)

It's Owain Glyndw?r Day today! There's no news about it on BBC Wales. Something must be wrong. I'll make Glyndw?r cake this afternoon. (I'm enthusiastic this time!)

Ydy hwnna yn wir? Does dim syniad 'da fi o gwbl! Shwd 'dych chi'n gwybod hwnna te, Gwen?

Clywais i fod y faner Glyndw?r i fod yn chwifio o'r Castell Caerdydd heddiw. Wel, efallai bydd newyddyon yfory, gobeithio.

I heard Glyndw?r's flag was to fly from Cardiff Castle today. Maybe there'll be news tomorrow, hopefully.

Wel, chi'n iawn!! Doedd dim clem 'da fi - fi'n teimlo â chywilydd.
Well, you're right! I had no idea - I feel ashamed!

Ble mae Susanna? Ydy hi'n y gymedrolwraig Cymru fan hyn o hyd?

Where's Susanna? Is she still the Wales moderator here?

Gofynnais i'r un gwestiwn i Wizard yn ddiweddara. 'Dyw e ddim yn gwybod ymchwaith. Fi'n gobeithio bod hi'n iawn.

Mae'n ymddengys y rhagor o bobl yn darllen postiau ar y byrddau na roi negeseuon arnynt eu hunain, wn i ddim pam ydy hyn, ond gallai hi fod eu darllen ond nid ymateb atyn nhw. Efallai y bydd hi'n darllen y trywydd hwn a fydd hi'n rho' wybyd inni ei bod hi'n iawn.


It appears that more people read posts on the boards than put messages on them themselves, I don't know why this is, but she could be reading them but not responding to them. Perhaps she'll read this thread and she'll let us know that she's okay.

Far tae much board fer trolling all of it... I do keep an eye on the Welsh centered ones however.


Doesn't mean I will post anything saddly... but I am niether Welsh, A speaker of, nor at a place in learning that helps me understand anything ye all are saying.

So I just keep away from reading any of it while I explore other avenue's of learning. (Ye lads just need tae wait fer more stranger friendly topics of conversation tae open the table fer some of us)


As stated however, I do keep an eye open here, and post where I have a chance, just also stating why I don't.

Helo, Cowboy! Sut wyt ti ers talwm? Falch o glywed oddi wrthot ti. Sut hwyl gyda Learnwelsh? Dw i'n bron yn gorffen "Lloyds." Dechreuais i "Cam Ymlaen" hefyd. Postia unrhyw beth. Elli di dechrau pwnc newydd.

--- Hello Cowboy! How have you been all this time? I'm glad to hear from you. How's it going with Learnwelsh? I've almost finished "Lloyds." I started "Cam Ymlaen" too. Post anything. You can start a new topic.

Pwnc newydd yn swnio fel syniad da ichi Cowboy! Syniad da yn wir, Gwen.

A new topic sounds like a good idea for you Cowboy! A good idea indeed, Gwen.

I have found Lloyds getting somewhat easier over the weeks, but the speakers are still far tae fast fer me tae follow along with out loud, and I find there layouts tae be quite confusing... with alittle of this and that, but not really focusing on anything. Could just me me in that however.

I did find some courses on ACEN that I have started (just a few days) and got me a pass in there Tourist Welsh #1. *shrugs*

But as its fer Tourists, unless ye say "Ga i'ch helpu chi?" I have no reply...
