The phonetical word by which you teach people how to pronounce "fish". As the old saying goes: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to pronounce 'fish' and you put him off learning English for life..." |

Tonight on Lost Planet Radio, Bill played Inacwg - and his cactus was spinning along.  |

Yeah, I have seen it before, it's magnificent! Poor guy when he got down of that high-speed Mary-go-round he must have felt a bit dizzy. Inacwg was a decent pop song, one which our fans would accept and embrace with no objections. I wonder what the future has in store for us though...  |

Great pics!  As far as I know the Welsh is up to date, except in the first one Cwm Hyfryd means something like "Lovely Valley" not "16th October Valley"  You can tell it's not real Wales though, the sun is shining in every single picture........ |

You've got to improve your Spanish, Uno. In fact, it means "Lovely Valley".  Seriously, we argies have that hideous custom of naming places (particularly beautiful places) after dates that no one has the faintest idea what commemorate. It's fantastic to know that the Welsh spoken down there is not that outdated. What does "Nant Fach" mean? Apparently it has been an exceptionally dry summer down there. Not that it rains nearly as much as in Wales, but you would normally see the landscape greener. And yes, BSJ , you know how happy it makes me when it snows in Ohio!  Do you have any picture of you shoveling? |

Yes, pics! And I hope you've made a Snow Jeff? Helmut83 I did have to double check what Nant meant but my first guess was right, Nant Fach means "little stream" (as in a tiny river)  |

That's really interesting that Welsh is spoken in a part of Argentina. I tried learning the language myself a few years back, never got past the basics and I still can't get the LL right. I don't think I would be any good at Spanish either.

Great pics, I'd love to take the family there one day, Thank you for sharing these. I remember learning about those 150 odd settlers when I was in school, all those years ago. It has an almost endless romanticism and is good material for BBC Wales... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-32886076 last year marked the 150th anniversary. |

Welsh is really complicated, I gave up when it came to the mutations  To be honest Spanish would be a whole lot more use to you, unless you want to work for BBC Wales.... |

It has an almost endless romanticism and is good material for BBC Wales... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-32886076 last year marked the 150th anniversary. Really? I figure there must not be so many places in the world with such a strong Welsh heritage (New South Wales in Australia maybe?). In fact, if you look up in wikipedia "Welsh language" you get a list with all the places with people who speak it, and it's just Wales, some in England and a few in the province of Chubut. Absolutely crazy that one of two other places outside Wales were it is spoken is such a far away land (and it's officially recognized here as a minoritary language). I was surprised to see Uno knew about it as well when I first talked to her. If you take your family there I'm sure you would enjoy it a lot, I've never been to Trevelin but everyone who's been tells me how beautiful it is down there and the whole Andes Range is stunning and full of great places to discover (plus it's really cheap for Europeans). And being Welsh they'll probably treat you like the royal family or so.  Interesting article... I searched for the BBC video on YouTube, there were many about the Welsh in the Patagonia but didn't find that exact one. It may have a lot of romanticism now, but at the time it must have been terribly hard for those guys, but well, pioneers never have it too easy I guess... |

Welsh is really complicated, I gave up when it came to the mutations Well, when they told me "Welsh have mutations" I interpreted it would have something to do with not being so perfect physically or something. Hey, and you shouldn't care much about useful languages. Everyone who speaks English is pretty much done in that aspect. I reckon Welsh must be really hard though, my mother who had never heard or read it before was mindblown by it being so different from English. |

Oh yeah I forgot about the mutations, I still find it a lovely language to listen to. I gave up Welsh and went onto Russian which is surprisingly a lot easier. |

Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
