Know what you mean Angry. Beautiful language with all the sing song intonation that Welsh people have speaking English.
Think I read something like French takes a native English speaker on average about 500 learning hours to reach competent fluency (German something similar - perhaps slightly more). Welsh is more like 1500 hours!
And when you think about it. Most native English speakers can make out a few words here and there of what a French or German speaker might be talking about, due to common roots. But Welsh, as you say, couldn’t make out a bloody thing!
PS….sorry for the Essay. Guess what we’re my nerd subjects at school?
