-I'm Hugh Brightwell. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-I live in Ellesmere Port, just -across the border, near Chester. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
-The oil and chemical industry -is well established locally. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
-I used to work -for an oil company in the area. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |

-My wife and I wanted to move to -Wales, we still intend doing so... | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
-..but we haven't done so yet. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-We decided that the right thing -to do was to learn Welsh. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:10 | |
-Initially, I learnt simple words... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-..such as "Can I?", "Please" -and "Thank you very much." | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-I do the same when I go away -for my holidays abroad. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-I decided to learn Welsh -less than eight years ago. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-After a while, I was encouraged -by my tutors to take an interest... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:37 | |
-..in the culture -and history of Wales. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |

-..and they feel the same. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-I'm not sure how it happens... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-..but I'm just more confident -coping with different situations. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:17 | |
-It was a problem -to find lessons initially. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-I don't see many advertisements -for Welsh lessons in England! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-Myself and my wife are members of -the Wrexham Welsh learners' choir. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:35 | |
-We're a rather unusual choir. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |

-I don't know -if it's as good as it could be... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
-..and there may come a time -when we'll sit down... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-..not only to improve -the competition... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-..but improve the work of Maes D. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-I'd welcome the views of people... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-..if they think -we can do something better. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
-It's great to see -so many learners volunteering. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
-They feel -they're giving something back. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-That's extremely important. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-These people have been through -the learning process. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
-They have experiences -to share with learners... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
-..and that's very important. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
-Maes D is a very safe place... | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-..but the maes is like one -large play area for a Welsh learner. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-Across the maes, you'll find people -ready to help learners... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
-..and they're very eager to do so. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-They welcome them here -and that can only be a good thing. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-I'd encourage learners -to visit Maes D first... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
-..and then go out -to challenge themselves and us. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
-Thank you. It's time for a break. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-This mud doesn't bother us at all! -We like mud. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-It's good for you. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |

-When we spoke about -having children... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-..it was a great excuse -to learn Welsh. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |

-My advice to people -learning Welsh... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-..I'd say just go for it -and keep going. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-Sometimes you feel -as if you're not progressing... | 0:17:00 | 0:17:07 | |
-..but sometimes things will click -and fall into place. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |

-I don't think I'd go around -boasting about it... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
-..because I'm a little bit shy -about things like that. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |

-Speak Welsh as often as you can. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
-If you make mistakes, -it doesn't matter. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
-If you can't remember the correct -Welsh word, it doesn't matter. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:48 | |
-Go for it and just try to keep -the conversation flowing. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
-Tell people that you're learning... | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
-..and don't worry about -the fact that you're learning... | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
-..or that you can't -say everything properly. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
-Keep going and go for it. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |

-Hey, Richard. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
-I've never seen this windmill, -have you? | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
-I've seen it -but I've never been here before... | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
-..and I only live five miles away! | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
-I don't live far away! -It's beautiful. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
-It's lovely. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:21 | |
-Are you going to have -a lovely experience in there today? | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
-I'm nervous. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:27 | |
-I've been thinking about -what I'll say to the judges... | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
-..and trying to guess -what they'll ask. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
-What about your family's response? | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
-My family have been very supportive. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
-Everything has been excellent, -everyone's been great. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
-I've been congratulated at work. -My neighbours have congratulated me. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:51 | |
-They've come over to say well done. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
-A lot of my work colleagues -speak Welsh. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
-They didn't used to speak Welsh -to me but they do now. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:02 | |
-Already? | 0:35:03 | 0:35:04 | |
-I've received emails from clients -congratulating me. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:11 | |
-We usually send emails in English. -It's been great. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:16 | |
-Emma, you look summery -and glamorous. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:21 | |
-This is Eisteddfod chic. -What happened? | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
-I was pushing a car out of the mud -in the car park this morning. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:30 | |
-I was in the wrong place -and there were a few splashes. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:36 | |
-As the wheel started spinning... | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
-Wow, it looks nice. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
-It's nice, I've had a lot -of compliments today. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
-The Welsh Government wants -a million Welsh speakers by 2050. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:53 | |
-What needs to happen -to realise that target? | 0:35:53 | 0:35:56 | |
-It's important to promote Welsh -in the workplace. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
-A lot of people -have done really well... | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
-..but there needs to be -more effort and more input... | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
-..to help people learn Welsh... | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
-..such as courses -in the workplace... | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
-..or allowing time off -to attend courses. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
-It's not always that easy -to attend courses after work. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:24 | |
-If you have family commitments... | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
-..it's not easy -to attend a night class. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:33 | |
-It can be difficult. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
-Welsh in the workplace courses -will go a long way. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
-Having understanding employers -would really help. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
-I'm a member -of the Monday night Clwb Clebran. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:52 | |
-We contribute every week to a fund. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
-From time to time, -we organise events... | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
-..free of charge, for learners... | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
-..to try and get an experience -of speaking Welsh outside classes. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:07 | |
-The language outside the classroom -door is a very different world. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:13 | |
-Adult classes lose so many members -after the first year. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:19 | |
-I think we need something -to attract them back. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
-I think we need -intense six-month classes. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:29 | |
-If you visit -Greece, Spain or Italy... | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
-..you learn just enough -of the language to get by. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:40 | |
-What to say in a cafe, -how to ask where the bus is going. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:45 | |
-Useful phrases. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:46 | |
-We shouldn't worry about the grammar -at the beginning... | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
-..just concentrate -on the simple phrases. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
-Those who are still interested -after six months will return... | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
-..and will study the language -seriously. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
-Well, Hugh, how did it go? | 0:38:01 | 0:38:02 | |
-Well, Hugh, how did it go? - -Well, it was a good experience. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:04 | |
-It was less formal than I expected. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
-The interview in Oriel Mon -was far more formal... | 0:38:08 | 0:38:13 | |
-..with the judges -sitting behind a table... | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
-..just as you'd expect -in a job interview. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
-It doesn't often happen -in a roundhouse like that. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
-Not in the past 3,000 years. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
-They were kind to you. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
-Oh, yes. The judges are great. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
-They're great people. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
-What about your friends and family? -How have they responded? | 0:38:37 | 0:38:41 | |
-My friends are bonkers! | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
-They're so excited. My family don't -appreciate the enormity of it. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
-They help me keep my feet -on the ground. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
-"OK, yes, well done." | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
-My friends are all bonkers. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
-How have you explained it -to your family? Where are they? | 0:39:00 | 0:39:06 | |
-They're in Germany, in Saxony. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
-There's nothing -like the Eisteddfod in Germany. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
-There's nothing like a celebration -of learning the country's language. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:17 | |
-That's why -they don't quite understand. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
-I was trying to explain what the -Eisteddfod meant to Welsh people... | 0:39:20 | 0:39:25 | |
-..the feelings and the atmosphere. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
-They're OK about it but I want -to bring them over one year. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:33 | |
-We'll see, but my friends -are just totally crazy about it. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
-Have you visited the maes? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:40 | |
-Have you visited the maes? - -Every day. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:41 | |
-As a Welsh learner, -how does it feel to visit the maes? | 0:39:42 | 0:39:46 | |
-It's fantastic. -The atmosphere is great. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
-I know so many people already. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:52 | |
-It's great to meet people -and have a chat. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
-For people learning Welsh -for the first time... | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
-..the Eisteddfod is a great place -to practise. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
-Exactly. -It's fantastic talking to everyone. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
-Everywhere is open to everyone. -Maes D is a great base camp. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:10 | |

-The aim is to help people -learn Welsh in the workplace. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
-We're eager for people -to speak Welsh at work... | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
-..and to provide more services -through the medium of Welsh... | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
-..by public bodies in Wales -and all kinds of other institutions. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:51 | |
-More opportunities for people -to learn Welsh in the workplace. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:57 | |
-How does it work? | 0:40:57 | 0:40:58 | |
-How does it work? - -In more than one way. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
-If you visit our website, -you can find the information. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
-We've launched -an online ten-hour course... | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
-..which includes a simple, -basic course that anyone can use. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:13 | |
-That's great news. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:14 | |
-Secondly, -we're offering five-day courses... | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
-..to help people increase -their confidence in Welsh. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:22 | |

-..and learn how to speak -your workplace Welsh. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
-A third part is the opportunity -to learn Welsh intensely. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:39 | |
-It can be a day each week, -a week each month. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
-Our aim is to see people taking -three months away from their work... | 0:41:43 | 0:41:48 | |
-..and some of those courses -have already started. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:52 | |
-Where can you access information -about this? | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |

-..before you start -more formal lessons. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
-It's a great opportunity for people. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |

-All the courses are funded. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:32 | |
-What's great is discovering -who else speaks Welsh at work. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
-A community of Welsh learners -can develop at work... | 0:42:36 | 0:42:41 | |
-..they can support one another... | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
-..and employers can discover -the hidden skills... | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
-..within their workplaces which will -allow them to offer better services. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:52 | |
-That's the ultimate aim. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:54 | |
-From the maes to Tre-Ysgawen Hall -near Llangefni... | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |

-..the number of people -speaking Welsh... | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
