Just a quick little post for funsies. In the months leading up Cardiff, as well as my time here, I have picked up bits and pieces of Welsh. I might not be able to say them all correctly, but I can recognise them and sometimes hear them when they're spoken. If I have anything incorrect, feel free to tell me. I want to learn!

I also continue to improve on my knowledge of "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" (The Welsh National Anthem).
Don't fret, I'll be updating with more of my Easter break soon. There's a lot of pictures to sift through.
