0:12:28 > 0:12:32- ..despite the fact they couldn't - speak the language back then.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41- She had started - talking English to us...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- ..so the language of the home - continued to be English.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- It's very difficult - to change the pattern.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54- It's very common to stick - to one language in the home.

0:13:04 > 0:13:09- At the time, - my son, Caio was a baby.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16- My mother and I spoke Welsh to Caio - but we spoke English to each other.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- That's when I realised that Caio - would find it very strange.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- I worried that he'd consider Welsh - to be a language for children.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- That's why we decided to change - the language of our home.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- It was embarrassing, - difficult and awkward.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- However, after a few weeks, - it became natural.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44- It's now become difficult - to speak English with my mother.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Yes, it's very funny...
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- ..because they don't think that we - can speak English anymore.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- It's quite humorous.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- That's how you started singing.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34- It was an opportunity to spread the - word about the language in Merthyr.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- It was just another way - to showcase the language.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43- That's why I started singing - because I never used to be a singer.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- I considered it a way of taking - the language out to the community.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- Music is universal - and it's an incredible weapon.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- We've farmed here...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- ..since my father bought - this piece of Coetmor Farm.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57- The land was dry and hard to manage - when the Welsh first arrived here.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Yes, it was very tough.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- They didn't have any trenches - so they had to do it all.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11- The brambles had to be removed - and burnt so they could build farms.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I suspect it was - a very difficult time.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- We have to do a lot of watering - or we won't get any produce.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- I'm very thankful for the water.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31- The Chubut River has always been - important to the Welsh...
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- ..especially in building trenches - to water the land.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- What do you farm?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- We're currently growing hay...
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- ..but we have kept animals - and grown potatoes in the past.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- You don't work on the farm any more - but come back every day.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- Yes, because I love this place.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11- It will survive - the next generation...
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- ..but not for another 50 years.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Have you been to Wales?
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- No, but I'd like to go for a week - or a fortnight but no more.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- I don't like being in the same place - for two months.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- You'd be feeling homesick - for the farm.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Yes, because - there's no place like home!
