-Here are the learners to tell us

-a bit about themselves...

-..starting with Jan.

-I'm Jan.

-I live in Ciliau Aeron

-with Ray, my husband.

-We've lived here for six years.

-I come from Bristol originally...

-..but my father is a Welshman...

-..and my grandmother spoke Welsh.

-When Ray retired...

-..we moved here.

-She makes a huge effort

-to mix with local people.

-She's English, for starters...

-..plus she's married

-to a Welsh-speaking Welshman.

-It can be challenging for her

-but she's doing a great job.

-I started by going to Aberaeron

-and joining the Sports Club.

-I wanted to start playing tennis.

-Thanks to the tennis,

-I made lots of new friends.

-All my friends speak Welsh

-and so does Ray.

-That's why I started to learn Welsh.

-I want to learn to speak Welsh...

-..so that I can understand what

-my friends and my family are saying.

-I've been learning the language

-for four years.

-It's not easy.

-It's really difficult.

-I enjoy gardening.

-We have a big garden

-and it's a lot of work.

-I grow lots of flowers

-in the garden.

-I also grow vegetables.

-I don't like mowing the lawn!

-But I do like cooking and eating.

-Ray likes to cook too.

-I enjoy learning Welsh.

-It's a huge challenge.

-I'm someone who likes a challenge.

-I'm competitive.

-Bill lives in Aberaeron

-and here he is to introduce himself.

-I'm Bill Griffiths and

-I've lived in Aberaeron since 1974.

-I ran the Prince Of Wales pub

-in Aberaeron until 1989.

-I've now been running

-this guest house for over 25 years.

-I enjoy my work...

-..and I love

-living by the harbour in Aberaeron.

-I'm a very lucky man.

-I meet a lot of people

-in the guest house...

-..be they people who

-come to Aberaeron on holiday...

-..or the really special

-local people.

-I take care of people

-who stay in the guest house...

-..and Sara, my daughter,

-runs the restaurant.

-My father has made a huge effort

-to learn Welsh.

-He's been on Welsh courses

-and the notes come out all the time.

-He enjoys speaking Welsh and he

-understands more than he lets on!

-He's doing well.

-I have two grandsons.

-Max William is three months old

-and Jac is two years old.

-I've got to learn to speak Welsh

-because they'll be fluent.

-Sara's fluent.

-Her Welsh is excellent...

-..but she doesn't speak Welsh to me.

-I do speak Welsh to Dad

-but not as much as I should.

-I grew up speaking English to Dad

-and Welsh to Mam.

-That's how it was.

-I'll make an effort

-to speak Welsh to him.

-After this programme,

-maybe she'll help me a bit more.

-I think it's very important

-to speak Welsh to local people.

-It's a very difficult language

-to learn...

-..but I think I'll grasp it one day.

-Local people speak Welsh.

-The trouble is I'm English

-and they speak English to me.

-It's very important to start

-to speak Welsh to local people.

-I love to cook

-but I don't cook everything.

-I like cooking breakfast

-in the morning.

-I hear that Ioan is a good man.

-I look forward to meeting him.

-From Aberaeron

-we head to Glynarthen...

-..to meet Ros, our third learner.

-I'm Ros Robinson.

-I've lived here for nine years.

-I have four children -

-two boys and two girls.

-I also share the house with lots

-of cats and dogs and my husband!

-Here's one of my cats!

-I'm really fond of gardening.

-I grow lots of different vegetables.

-I grow grapes and asparagus

-in the polytunnel...

-..and I also grow

-tomatoes and cucumbers in there.

-In the garden itself,

-I grow apples, plums...

-..raspberries, strawberries

-and wild flowers.

-I like to provide a habitat

-for animals.

-I enjoy cooking...

-..which is lucky because my family

-eats a lot of food!

-She's a very good cook.

-The recipe that she's doing

-for the programme...

-..I had it last week when

-she practised for the programme.

-It's a lovely recipe.

-She's a good, family cook...

-..but she can do the bells

-and whistles when she needs to...

-..when she cooks for a dinner party.

-I have no concerns

-that people won't enjoy their meal.

-I decided to learn Welsh

-because we live in Wales...

-..and my children

-go to Welsh-medium schools.

-I want to be part of this community.

-She decided to learn Welsh and when

-she applies herself to something...

-..she doesn't do it by halves.

-I do it in the car.

-It only takes ten minutes a day...

-..and after two years,

-I can speak Welsh.

-She's been

-on two intensive Welsh courses.

-If I texted her, I had to put it

-through Google translate...

-..so that it was in Welsh.

-She wasn't allowed

-to communicate in English.

-I speak Welsh with my children...

-..especially the younger ones.

-I like speaking Welsh to Mam

-when Dad's in the room...

-..because it's funny to see

-the shocked looks he gives us.

-It's our secret language!

-Dad doesn't understand

-what we're saying.

-He knows a little bit of Welsh.

-Yes, actually,

-he does know a little bit.

-I hope this experience helps me feel

-more confident to speak Welsh...

-..because I need

-a little bit of motivation.

-It'll be great fun

-and I'll meet some new people.

-I hope I can also inspire

-other Welsh learners...

-..and show people they can do it.

-If I can do it, anyone can do it!

-Just ten minutes per day.

-Honest!

-Join me after the break to see

-how their shopping trips went.

-I grew the fruit in my garden.

-What's cream?

-What's cream?

-

-Hufen.

-It's filled with cream

-and raspberry and Cassis jam.

-Thank you very much

-for cooking a great meal, Jan.

-We cleared our plates

-and we enjoyed it.

-Here's to you, Jan.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Good luck to you, Bill!

-Thank you very much.

-The meringue with fresh fruit...

-..looked like

-a piece of art on that table.

-I've got to try to make my pudding

-look as good as that!

-It was tasty and really lovely.

-Jan's a good cook.

-She's too good, really!

-It's very interesting

-to meet fellow Welsh learners.

-I get along well with Ros

-and I think she's brilliant.

-Jan and I...

-..have got a lot to learn!

-Jan, it's been a long day for you

-but you can relax now.

-How do you feel?

-It definitely was a long day...

-..but it's also been

-a really lovely day.

-I met some nice people...

-..and the food was nice too.

-I'm very happy

-with the way the food turned out...

-..and the company was great.

-Ioan, what would you suggest

-Jan does now...

-..to help her take that next step?

-I realize it's unnatural for you

-and Ray to speak Welsh together...

-..because you've always

-spoken English.

-My suggestion is

-you choose one room in the house...

-..and have that

-as your Welsh-speaking room.

-You both agree that as soon as

-you set foot in that room...

-..you speak only Welsh.

-I like it.

-Maybe this room or that room

-but not the loo!

-Maybe not the swimming pool either!

-Choose a room which you both use...

-..and make speaking only Welsh

-in that room a habit.

-Crossing the threshold into the room

-is your signal to speak Welsh.

-If you're there for a while and you

-get tired, you must leave the room.

-Do you think that's a good idea?

-Yes, it's an excellent idea.

-I really like it.

-Congratulations on the meal.

-It was wonderful.

-Did you enjoy the experience?

-It really helped me

-to start to learn again.

-One of the important things

-you can do...

-..is to start to read Welsh stories

-to your grandsons.

-That will mean your grandsons link

-you with reading in Welsh to them...

-..and that's really important.

-Visit the library or Welsh shop

-and choose some books.

-Read through them first

-and maybe get Sara to help you...

-..then read them to the children.

-I look forward to it.

-Ros, that was a lovely meal.

-Ros, that was a lovely meal.

-

-Thank you.

-Do you feel happier now?

-Do you feel happier now?

-

-Yes, I definitely feel happier!

-It's been a long day.

-Yes, but I enjoyed it.

-Ioan helped me in the kitchen.

-I hope I remember

-everything he taught me.

-Your Welsh is very good.

-What's your target,

-as you continue to learn Welsh?

-The target is to become fluent.

-I want to understand everything

-on Radio Cymru, not just half of it!

-Ros's Welsh is very good, Ioan...

-..but what do you suggest she does,

-as she takes the next step?

-I think Ros

-has chosen the correct path...

-..in that she's focused on fluency

-rather than on correctness.

-That's very important.

-That means you can speak Welsh

-but not correctly or perfectly.

-You can speak Welsh and you should

-keep doing what you're doing.

-Speak it quickly

-and listen a lot to Radio Cymru.

-One thing you can do

-is carry a notebook.

-When someone says 'Wes' rather than

-'Oes' for yes, write it down.

-Make a note of dialectal words.

-You should also listen to recordings

-of spoken Welsh...

-..which you can pause and play

-over and over again.

-Repeat, repeat, repeat,

-so you perfect the sound.

-Dw i'n bwriadu

-mynd i Aberystwyth Dydd Sadwrn.

-There's a rhythm in that sentence.

-Listen to it over and over again.

-Listen to it and repeat it over and

-over again until you get the rhythm.

-Every language has a rhythm...

-..and it's vital

-to slot words into that rhythm.

-The important thing

-which you've done...

-..is to focus on speaking

-rather than grammar.

-You can sort out the grammar

-at the end of the learning process.

-The biggest thing is to speak Welsh

-and sound as natural as possible.

-Try to understand

-other Welsh speakers...

-..and sort out the grammar

-at the end.

-Unfortunately,

-we've reached the end.

-Would you do

-something like Galwch Acw again?

-Ask me again

-after I've had a good night's sleep!

-Thank you very much, Ros.

-I hope you enjoyed

-this taste of the last series.

-Next week,

-a new series of Galwch Acw begins.

-Three new cooks

-get in the kitchen with Ioan.

-Here's what's on the menu,

-so remember to watch.
