"Come listen to me talk about the beautiful language of Cymraeg/Welsh!
I speak a little about its history, attitudes towards the Welsh language, and some really cool features that Welsh has (mutation, collectives/singulatives). I also talk about Welsh being a living language, deserving of respect. It’s not dying. It’s here to stay.

As a final note, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to talk about Welsh at all if it wasn’t for the people who let me talk to them about their language. So a massive shout out to Lisa and Siwan for helping me learn about your language, and in turn helping me share the love with others" - Victoria Noble
