Dan Rhys is a learner from California, USA who has made rapid progress with the language. Da iawn Dan.
Here’s his original video and here’s an item from BBC Wales Today news.
Here’s the fideobobdydd blog post which originally “broke” Dan’s YouTube video into the collective conscious of the Welsh language web, prompting an encouraging burp of hashtag trend on Twitter for #rhanidan (part for Dan) recently.
It’s well worth subscribing to the fideobobdydd blog – as featured in Lol magazine. (Now if you don’t know what the notorious Lol magazine is, it comes out annually at the National Eisteddfod in August and pokes fun at various happenings and public figures. It was the original source of the name of its publisher, Y Lolfa. The magazine is somewhat akin to Private Eye I suppose you could say, but in Welsh. The word means “nonsense” and predates the internet LOL by many many years. But Y Lolfa means The Lounge so it’s a play on words. And so this hopefully informative digression ends.)
