Welsh: Anyone know any good idioms I could use?

What langauge did the Ancient Britons speak?

Does anyone know what language did the Ancient Britons speak I've heard that they spoke a form of Welsh is this true

I am keen to learn a foreign language (preferably more in future) and as I am a fast learner and not too dull, I think I'll be able to study it no matter how complex it is in terms of grammar/script/etc.

So why not learn something that will be useful?

Mandarin is one of the most spoken languages in the world but will it be needed in future? I'm planning on studying medical science, by the way. I was wondering about Spanish since there are a lot of countries that use it. What about French, Italian and Portuguese? Are they widespread?

I'm acquainted with English (duh!), Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu and some regional languages, too.

So what do you think? Which language(s) would be most useful?

By the way, I won't be having much problem learning any kind of language... except something spoken by a small number like Zulu, Welsh or something like that, for which the books and classes aren't easily available.

Reasons for speaking Welsh?

I'm doing a presentation about the Welsh language and society, and wanted to know a few reasons why people spoke Welsh. Also, I would like to know if there is a more "prestigious" dialect/accent in Welsh, for example, RP English is in England.
oops i meant speak, not spoke! bad grammar on my part, sorry!

I have followed their instructions for changing it, but it never works and for some reason always changes into Welsh. I just want my spellchecker to work!! I have also tried clicking tools, then select language and then English UK, but that doesn't do anything either. Thanks xxx

Which should i learn German, Welsh, or Gaelic?

I want to learn a foreign language but i cant decide one and none besides German Welsh or Gaelic. Im in my 2nd year of German in High School so i have previous knowledge of German but i don't really try in that class so i haven't learned as much as i should of i guess. Gaelic- Im an Irish American and i have a ton of irish/scottish background like My great great great great aunt was the Queen of Scotland and i absolutely love the culture of Ireland. Welsh- Im going to want to some day live in the UK, Germany, or Ireland and Welsh seems like a pretty cool language, i do not have any previous knowledge of Welsh. So just whats your guys opinion on what i should learn and most likely i will end up living in one of these places?

I don't hate the English I like some of them but some I don't. Be honest and say good or bad things.

Irish or Welsh? Which is more easy to learn?

Alright so I'm thinking about learning Irish or Welsh. Which language is more easy to learn? There are some facts to consider:

I'm English and I can speak English, Spanish and Korean fluently. And I can read/write a little German, French, Italian and Japanese.

So what do you say? I know Welsh is a bit more widely used and probably more benefial for business but that's not what I'm asking. I just want to know which is more easy to learn.

Thanks :)
Oh and if you recommend Welsh then tell me if I should learn South Welsh or North Welsh.
Both are hard to learn, yeah I know, that's why I want to try.

I am getting a tattoo for a deceased family member,
I have a picture, and I want to get "A beautiful Live" in welsh...
I keep looking for translation sites, but nothing is helping, and most of the time they don't give you the correct use or form of ANY words.
If someone cant translate this, it'd be great.
Thank you.
I meant "A beautiful life"
Sorry :-)
Also if you could translate "My Angel"
I think angel is angylion

What do they speak in Wales?

Research for my book. ^^

Anywho, do they speak Welsh all the time there? Also, do they teach in Welsh or in English at schools? Thanks in advance!
Thanks everyone! =)

What is the Welsh translation for this quote?

"Through death, we find life."

I'd prefer if it was the actual translation and not a broken translation from an online translator. I'm getting this tattooed on my wrist, so I'd rather it be grammatically correct.

Why are welsh people so annoying?

Do you think the phrase " i was just helping it through the fence " is true? And why do they talk like complete retards?

For cultural purposes :)

I've been wondering this for a while. I'd love to learn Welsh only there isn't really an abundance of teachers around. If you can recommend a good Welsh online or book course that can be taken to a high level, please say so in your answer. Thank you ^.^

Any welsh speaking people lived in England?

Can you tell me which part of England do welsh people most likely to lived there?

Celtic languages are

Welsh,Irish,Scottish Gaelic,Manx,Cornish and Breton!

My favorite is welsh because it's my mother tongue my first language and i love it's poetical rhythm! Also i think it's just a beautiful language.

can anyone speak simple welsh ?!?!?!?!?

hey guys, i have a welsh oral exam tomorrow, the teacher is going to ask me a set of simple questions about myself and homelessness in wales. i just need simple ways to say these sentences, if any1 can help me say them in welsh i would REALLY appreciate it! 10 points best answer, thanks! x x

homelessness is expected to rise by 12 percent between 1996 and 2016. 50,000 people experience homelessness in wales every year. it is terrible.

i think they are homeless because of lack of jobs and education. wales is much less populated than england.

to be honest cardiff has a largr number of homelessness than abertae but on the other hand places like london have high homeless rates too.

anyone please?? simple sentences don't have to be hard just enough to get the message across of what i said in each part, thanks

Where is a good resource for learning Welsh?

I'm an American druid of the Welsh Gwyddonic tradition, and would love to learn the language. Several of the Gods/Goddesses have Welsh names and I want to pronounce them properly.
