  travels in an old tongue
gan Pamela Petro (yn y Saesneg)


Americanes ydy Pamela Petro, Americanes sy’n chwilio am yr iaith Gymraeg a’i hunaniaeth o gwmpas y byd.

Mae Pamela yn ceisio dysgu Cymraeg, ond pan oedd hi yn Llanbedr Pont Steffan roedd hi’n ffeindio fe anodd i siarad yn y Gymraeg achos bod iaith gyffredin eisoes sy’n haws - Saesneg. Felly mae hi’n penderfynu edrych ar leoedd ble all hi ddim siarad yn y Saesneg a rhaid siarad yn y Gymraeg yn lle.

Mae’r llyfr ‘ma yn hanfodol i bob dysgwr. Mae e’n ddigrif, teimladwy ac chyfareddol, dilyn Pamela a’i ffrind Marguerite wrth iddyn nhw deithio drwy Norwy, yr Iseldiroedd, Singapor, Gwlad y Tai, Siapan ac, o’r diwdd, drwy’r Ariannin i’r Wladfa. Mae’r daith yn llawn o dreialon ond mae ‘na llawer o eiliadau o lawenydd hefyd.
