-Hello! I'm Nia Parry.

0:00:280:00:29

-Welcome to a look back

-at a year of Dal Ati programmes.

0:00:290:00:33

-During the year, we enjoyed

-Llyncu Geiriau with Eleri Sion...

0:00:420:00:46

-..I followed the Welsh Learner

-Of The Year competition...

0:00:470:00:50

-..and a group of learners

-spent time with Welsh families.

0:00:510:00:55

-We went behind the scenes

-at some Welsh companies...

0:00:570:01:00

-..and I had a nosey around famous

-people's houses in the series Adre.

0:01:000:01:05

-From Cardiff to Deganwy,

-from country cottages to city pads.

0:01:070:01:11

-Once again this year,

-the Adre series gave me a chance...

0:01:110:01:15

-..to see all sorts of houses

-and meet lots of interesting people.

0:01:160:01:21

-Singers, actors, designers,

-artists and familiar faces.

0:01:210:01:25

-Cefyn, does the sun always shine

-like this in Deganwy?

0:01:300:01:34

-Yes. Deganwy has its own

-microclimate.

0:01:350:01:37

-It's really nice.

0:01:390:01:40

-This is an incredible house.

0:01:400:01:44

-There's something grand about it

-and it looks almost Grecian.

0:01:440:01:49

-Yes, there's a touch of Greece here.

0:01:500:01:52

-This is an Arts And Crafts house.

0:01:530:01:55

-Can we take a look?

0:01:570:01:58

-Can we take a look?

-

-Of course.

0:01:580:02:00

-There's a foreign influence here.

0:02:030:02:05

-Yes. There are things

-from my travels in here.

0:02:060:02:10

-Are those stamps?

0:02:120:02:13

-Yes - they're stamps.

0:02:140:02:16

-When you go backpacking around

-India for two or three months...

0:02:170:02:23

-..you don't want to

-carry bulky keepsakes home.

0:02:240:02:28

-That's why

-we went to the post office...

0:02:290:02:32

-..and chose stamps

-which we thought were fitting.

0:02:320:02:36

-We got the post office

-to stamp the date on them...

0:02:360:02:39

-..and we had a memento of our trip.

0:02:400:02:43

-That's a nice idea.

0:02:430:02:45

-Ah, the kitchen and a bar

-which looks open for business.

0:02:450:02:49

-There's plenty of choice there.

0:02:490:02:52

-I don't like shorts. Mam drinks

-brandy and Will drinks whiskey.

0:02:520:02:56

-I like to entertain people

-and have parties around the table.

0:02:570:03:02

-All parties stay in the kitchen.

0:03:020:03:04

-All parties stay in the kitchen.

-

-Yes, hence the speakers on the wall.

0:03:040:03:07

-This is my studio.

0:03:080:03:10

-This is my studio.

-

-Wow! Where it all happens.

0:03:100:03:12

-This is where I hide every day.

0:03:130:03:16

-That's incredible.

0:03:170:03:19

-How long has it taken you?

0:03:210:03:23

-Around a month and a half,

-working nine hours a day.

0:03:230:03:27

-Just painting the lines

-in the jumper must have taken weeks!

0:03:290:03:34

-Yes - nearly a fortnight.

0:03:340:03:36

-Tell me about the process.

0:03:360:03:38

-Is there a time

-when you're working on a painting...

0:03:380:03:42

-..when you hate what you're doing

-and you hate your subjects?

0:03:420:03:46

-I experience that

-with every painting.

0:03:470:03:50

-I'm happy, at first,

-then it goes downhill.

0:03:500:03:53

-It happens every time.

0:03:530:03:55

-I reach the point where I want to

-throw it out of the window.

0:03:550:03:59

-But then, I climb back up again

-and I'm happy.

0:03:590:04:03

-It happens every time.

0:04:030:04:05

-Wow!

0:04:190:04:21

-I can't believe my eyes.

0:04:210:04:23

-Cups, jugs...

0:04:230:04:26

-..and more plates.

0:04:260:04:28

-Have you considered therapy?

0:04:290:04:31

-This is my therapy.

0:04:330:04:35

-This is therapy? Excellent.

0:04:350:04:37

-What strikes me is you'll often find

-that avid collectors are untidy...

0:04:380:04:43

-..but this collection

-is meticulously organized and neat.

0:04:450:04:50

-You can't appreciate them

-unless they're displayed neatly.

0:04:510:04:55

-What's the point of collecting items

-if you don't enjoy them?

0:04:560:05:00

-Some of my friends laugh, like you,

-and others understand it.

0:05:010:05:06

-Here we are. This is my space.

0:05:130:05:15

-What is it with men and their sheds?

0:05:160:05:18

-Other than play pool,

-what do you do here?

0:05:190:05:21

-How much time do you spend here?

0:05:220:05:24

-I escape here

-for some peace and quiet!

0:05:240:05:27

-I've got big plans

-for a bar, a disco and some lights.

0:05:270:05:31

-At the moment, there are only

-a few basic things in here.

0:05:310:05:35

-But it's important

-for me to have somewhere to go.

0:05:350:05:39

-A pool table,

-a dart board and some power tools.

0:05:400:05:43

-Yes, and weights just for show!

0:05:440:05:46

-They're a bit heavy.

0:05:460:05:48

-That's a lovely settle.

0:05:490:05:50

-Yes, it was a wedding present

-from one of the bridesmaids.

0:05:500:05:55

-It'll go in the house one day.

0:05:550:05:56

-It'll go in the house one day.

-

-Yes, it's too stylish for a shed.

0:05:560:05:58

-You need a touch of style

-in a shed too!

0:05:590:06:02

-It's a very nice shed, as sheds go.

0:06:020:06:05

-Thank you.

0:06:070:06:09

-What a lovely collection of tools.

0:06:090:06:11

-Home is more than

-your current house.

0:06:210:06:24

-Home can also be your place of birth

-or the house where you grew up.

0:06:240:06:29

-It's wonderful to visit

-those special places too on Adre.

0:06:290:06:33

-This is Bryn Tanat,

-the house where you grew up.

0:06:430:06:46

-Yes, that's right.

0:06:460:06:48

-Your father still lives here.

0:06:480:06:51

-Yes. Dad still lives here.

0:06:520:06:54

-It's a huge house for one person.

0:06:540:06:56

-You give harp lessons in this house.

0:07:020:07:04

-Yes - in that room.

0:07:050:07:06

-Well done, Nia.

0:07:240:07:26

-Well done, Nia.

-

-Ooh! That sounded nice.

0:07:260:07:27

-We're in Brecon and

-this is the house where you grew up.

0:07:380:07:41

-Yes, and my parents

-have lived here for 52 years.

0:07:420:07:45

-They still live here and it was

-a wonderful place to grow up.

0:07:460:07:51

-I can imagine you

-playing by the river.

0:07:530:07:56

-Yes, and not just here.

0:07:560:07:58

-Children had far more freedom

-in the 1970s and 1980s...

0:07:590:08:02

-..than they do now.

0:08:030:08:04

-My friends and I would ride our

-bikes to the park at the Boathouse.

0:08:050:08:09

-Mam, Dad and my older sisters

-kept an eye on me...

0:08:100:08:14

-..but me and my friends had lots

-of freedom when we rode our bikes.

0:08:140:08:19

-We had lots of adventures

-and I was out for hours.

0:08:190:08:23

-I asked my guests which three things

-they'd save from their homes...

0:08:230:08:29

-..if they had to escape quickly.

0:08:290:08:31

-First, I'd rescue my fishing floats.

0:08:330:08:37

-They've been in my family for years.

0:08:410:08:43

-My great-aunt left these to me

-when she passed away.

0:08:430:08:47

-They have

-huge sentimental value for me.

0:08:470:08:50

-Haven't I seen that in a painting?

0:08:510:08:53

-Yes. The floats

-feature in a few of my paintings.

0:08:540:08:57

-The pea in Princess And The Pea

-is also a float.

0:08:580:09:01

-Your second treasure is in this box.

0:09:150:09:17

-Yes, and this Bible box

-is a true family treasure.

0:09:180:09:22

-Inside the box

-is the old Bible itself.

0:09:220:09:25

-A very old Bible.

0:09:260:09:28

-In what year was this Bible printed?

0:09:290:09:31

-In the 18th century.

0:09:310:09:33

-I don't remember exactly.

0:09:350:09:37

-It's been in your family since 1826.

0:09:370:09:39

-It's been in your family since 1826.

-

-Yes, I think so.

0:09:390:09:40

-It was in my great-aunt's house

-and now it's in my possession...

0:09:400:09:45

-..ready to be passed down

-to the next generation.

0:09:450:09:49

-My third item is this stuffed owl.

0:09:540:09:57

-Wow! I wasn't expecting that.

0:09:580:10:01

-A dead, stuffed owl?

-You surprised me.

0:10:010:10:04

-There's a story behind this owl.

0:10:050:10:07

-Unfortunately, it was shot.

0:10:090:10:12

-It happened

-on the farm where my mother grew up.

0:10:120:10:16

-My grandfather was farming there

-and friends of his came to stay.

0:10:160:10:21

-They went out on a shoot

-and they came back with this owl.

0:10:210:10:26

-My grandfather was very sad...

0:10:260:10:29

-..because they'd shot this owl

-on his farm.

0:10:290:10:33

-By way of an apology and to thank

-my grandad for his hospitality...

0:10:350:10:40

-..they had the owl stuffed.

0:10:400:10:42

-Didn't that rub salt in the wound?

0:10:430:10:45

-They put it in a glass case

-and sent it to the farm.

0:10:460:10:49

-The owl

-takes care of us, as a family.

0:10:500:10:52

-I'm really fond of this owl.

0:10:520:10:54

-When we had the extension built,

-we gutted the whole place.

0:10:580:11:02

-The house hadn't been altered

-for generations.

0:11:020:11:06

-What did we find in the ground,

-buried beneath the parlour?

0:11:080:11:13

-We found these.

0:11:140:11:16

-Ancient children's shoes.

0:11:210:11:23

-Look at those!

0:11:250:11:26

-They're amazing.

0:11:260:11:28

-Apparently, it was traditional

-to bury shoes in a house.

0:11:290:11:33

-To bring the owners good luck.

0:11:330:11:35

-Yes, and to bring children

-to the house.

0:11:370:11:40

-That certainly happened!

0:11:400:11:41

-That certainly happened!

-

-Yes - they had 14 children.

0:11:410:11:43

-They're beautiful.

0:11:450:11:46

-They're beautiful.

-

-A piece of history.

0:11:460:11:48

-We filmed in the Andes, in Peru,

-with people from the Inca community.

0:11:480:11:53

-We brought several keepsakes home.

0:11:540:11:57

-This is

-one of the most interesting things.

0:11:590:12:02

-Because they're at such high

-altitude, they chew coca leaves.

0:12:020:12:07

-They need bags to carry the coca,

-so they use baby alpacas for that.

0:12:070:12:12

-Unlucky baby alpacas!

0:12:120:12:14

-I'm not allowed

-to put it on the wall!

0:12:140:12:17

-Join me again after the break

-for more happy memories.

-Welcome back.

0:12:350:12:36

-We spent time with

-several Welsh companies this year...

0:12:370:12:41

-..in the series Cwmni.

0:12:410:12:42

-We started in Portmeirion, Gwynedd.

0:12:430:12:45

-My role is to run The Prisoner shop.

0:13:000:13:02

-The Prisoner series

-was filmed in the 1960s.

0:13:030:13:06

-It's about spies.

0:13:060:13:08

-He wanted to leave the service

-but was prohibited...

0:13:090:13:13

-..so he had to come here.

0:13:130:13:15

-It was a kind of retirement village.

0:13:150:13:19

-Every week,

-he tried to escape from here.

0:13:190:13:22

-I feel very lucky

-to be managing the shop....

0:13:240:13:28

-..because it's the only

-The Prisoner shop in the world.

0:13:280:13:32

-I've been the housekeeper

-at Portmeirion...

0:13:330:13:36

-..for 20 years next week.

0:13:360:13:38

-I'm getting old!

0:13:390:13:40

-Every day is different here.

0:13:410:13:43

-That's what's nice about the place.

0:13:440:13:47

-You turn up in the morning

-not knowing what's ahead of you.

0:13:470:13:51

-Everyone's different here and

-the place is different and unique.

0:13:520:13:56

-I think most members of staff

-are unique too.

0:13:570:14:01

-My job at Portmeirion...

0:14:140:14:16

-..is to make sure there's enough

-ice cream to sell in the village.

0:14:170:14:21

-I manage production...

0:14:210:14:23

-..and take care of the paperwork.

0:14:250:14:27

-I decide which flavours to sell

-during each season.

0:14:290:14:32

-I tend to go

-for fruits in summer...

0:14:320:14:36

-..chocolate and nuts in winter.

0:14:370:14:39

-Our Christmas range

-includes mulled wine sorbet...

0:14:390:14:43

-..and mince pie ice cream.

0:14:430:14:45

-This is the Priory Vets clinic

-in Cardigan.

0:14:480:14:52

-Hello. Is this Dai?

0:15:000:15:01

-Hello. Is this Dai?

-

-Yes.

0:15:010:15:02

-Come through.

0:15:030:15:04

-How old is Dai?

0:15:070:15:08

-How old is Dai?

-

-He's eight weeks old.

0:15:080:15:09

-Is he eating and drinking well?

0:15:110:15:13

-Yes. He eats a lot!

0:15:130:15:15

-Are his bowels alright?

0:15:160:15:18

-Yes. Three times a day.

0:15:180:15:20

-I'm going to microchip Dai.

0:15:200:15:22

-I'll insert the chip...

0:15:230:15:24

-..at the point where I administered

-local anaesthetic.

0:15:240:15:29

-I need Dai to stay still

-because it's a big needle.

0:15:290:15:33

-HE SQUEALS

0:15:360:15:38

-Oh, sweetheart.

0:15:380:15:39

-Oh! I know it hurt, my love.

0:15:400:15:42

-All better now.

0:15:440:15:45

-I'll scan him to make sure

-the microchip is in position.

0:15:450:15:49

-Lovely. The microchip is in there.

0:15:520:15:54

-The bag's there.

0:16:040:16:06

-It's the wrong way around.

0:16:110:16:13

-It's the wrong way around.

-

-Ah! We thought so.

0:16:130:16:14

-I'm not much good when this happens.

0:16:170:16:19

-They don't usually show the same.

0:16:190:16:22

-The tail's here.

0:16:260:16:27

-Is it alive?

0:16:480:16:49

-Is it alive?

-

-Yes.

0:16:490:16:50

-The DMM factory in Llanberis

-manufactures climbing equipment.

0:17:030:17:08

-DMM is based on quality.

0:17:080:17:11

-Nothing other than that

-leaves this place.

0:17:110:17:14

-We manufacture Ferrari carabiners.

0:17:140:17:17

-Go to Italy or China

-and you'll get Skoda carabiners!

0:17:170:17:21

-That's my personal opinion.

0:17:210:17:24

-We speak Wenglish -

-half English, half Welsh!

0:17:250:17:30

-I call it lazy Welsh.

0:17:300:17:31

-It's easier and quicker

-to use an English word.

0:17:310:17:35

-We all speak the same language!

0:17:350:17:37

-The English members of staff learn

-Welsh and we have fun with them.

0:17:380:17:43

-They sometimes use long, correct

-Welsh words which leave us baffled!

0:17:460:17:51

-But we also use perfect Welsh

-when we talk to them...

0:17:510:17:55

-..and we swear in Welsh!

0:17:550:17:56

-We've got good banter here.

0:17:570:17:59

-We send goods to America,

-South Africa and all of Europe.

0:18:000:18:04

-We send goods all over England,

-Wales, Scotland...

0:18:060:18:10

-..and to Austria.

0:18:100:18:12

-Loads of places.

0:18:120:18:14

-Canada, New Zealand,

-Australia, Rhosgadfan.

0:18:140:18:17

-When I go to Liverpool or Cardiff...

0:18:190:18:21

-..I go to climbing shops

-and think, "I packed those."

0:18:210:18:25

-They were made over there.

0:18:250:18:27

-Rhydydelyn cheese company

-on Anglesey...

0:18:320:18:35

-..and Canna Deli, in Cardiff,

-are family businesses.

0:18:360:18:39

-I own Canna Deli.

0:18:390:18:40

-We opened a delicatessen

-and coffee shop...

0:18:410:18:44

-..in Pontcanna, Cardiff

-in late July, 2015.

0:18:450:18:48

-I decided to open a deli...

0:18:480:18:50

-..because I'm a farmer's daughter

-from Anglesey.

0:18:510:18:55

-It's a dairy farm

-and we produce cheese on the farm.

0:18:560:18:59

-I went around

-a lot of farmers' markets...

0:18:590:19:02

-..then we decided

-we needed an outlet...

0:19:030:19:06

-..where we could sell cheese

-directly to the public.

0:19:060:19:10

-A lot of our customers

-speak Welsh...

0:19:110:19:14

-..and it's great to be able to

-chat in Welsh at the deli.

0:19:150:19:18

-We always

-greet our customers in Welsh...

0:19:190:19:22

-..but we're more than happy

-to speak English or Welsh to them.

0:19:240:19:29

-When I'd learned

-to make cheese at college...

0:19:300:19:34

-..we had to convert an old shed

-where we stored machines and bikes.

0:19:350:19:39

-Any junk from the house

-ended up in here.

0:19:420:19:46

-There were around

-seven Christmas trees in here!

0:19:460:19:50

-We cleared it out, converted it

-and started to produce cheese.

0:19:520:19:56

-I came home last night.

0:19:560:19:58

-I live in Cardiff.

0:19:580:20:00

-I had the call that the cheese

-was being made today...

0:20:030:20:06

-..so, as farming families always do,

-I helped out.

0:20:070:20:10

-I've been hard at it for four hours.

0:20:100:20:13

-The success of the business

-relies on us helping each other out.

0:20:140:20:18

-Gomer, a publishing company based in

-Llandysul, was established in 1892.

0:20:200:20:25

-People say there's ink in my blood

-and that's where it started for me.

0:20:250:20:30

-I've always worked in printing.

0:20:310:20:33

-I studied

-at the London College Of Printing...

0:20:350:20:38

-..then I set up a printing company

-in Carmarthen.

0:20:380:20:42

-I then returned to Gomer

-20 years ago...

0:20:430:20:46

-..to take over.

0:20:470:20:48

-I'm still standing!

0:20:490:20:50

-What we have here are sheets which

-have come off the printing machine.

0:20:510:20:56

-There are 16 pages here -

-eight pages on every side.

0:20:560:21:00

-This is the first fold.

0:21:000:21:02

-It's carried out

-by the first unit of the machine.

0:21:030:21:07

-There are two folds

-in the second unit.

0:21:070:21:10

-We end up with a sheet

-that's ready to be bound.

0:21:100:21:13

-This is Geiriadur Cymraeg Gomer.

0:21:170:21:19

-It's really important that this

-goes out in the right order.

0:21:200:21:24

-All hands on deck, as they say.

0:21:250:21:27

-I've worked for Gomer for ten years

-and I'm having a good time.

0:21:310:21:36

-Cwrw Llyn is a brewery

-based on the Llyn Peninsula.

0:21:370:21:41

-What's the best part of my job?

0:21:440:21:46

-Obviously, it's going out

-and drinking it!

0:21:470:21:51

-No, to be serious,

-I enjoy the work I do here.

0:21:510:21:55

-I've heard it said that

-there are five ingredients in beer.

0:21:550:22:01

-Barley, water, wheat, yeast...

0:22:040:22:07

-..and the fifth ingredient

-is passion.

0:22:090:22:12

-You've got to enjoy it

-and live for it, to be honest.

0:22:140:22:18

-That's the only way.

0:22:180:22:20

-The names came from

-informal discussions between us.

0:22:280:22:32

-Gareth is a keen sailor

-and he came up with Brenin Enlli.

0:22:320:22:35

-The traditions of the sea,

-Bardsey Island...

0:22:360:22:39

-..and the story

-of the King of Bardsey Island.

0:22:400:22:43

-They grew great barley

-on Bardsey Island...

0:22:440:22:47

-..and they brewed ale there.

0:22:490:22:51

-The lighthouse keepers enjoyed

-going to Bardsey because of the ale.

0:22:520:22:57

-The name Seithenyn came from

-the story of Cantre'r Gwaelod...

0:22:580:23:02

-..which is just south of Llyn.

0:23:030:23:05

-It's an amazing story

-and it's relevant today too.

0:23:070:23:11

-It's about rising sea levels.

0:23:110:23:13

-These names are some sort of gateway

-to the Welsh language...

0:23:140:23:19

-..but also a gateway

-to local history and culture.

0:23:200:23:23

-People are attracted to the beer...

0:23:240:23:27

-..and it gives them access

-to something more.

0:23:270:23:31

-I'm glad I'm able to speak Welsh

-in my place of work.

0:23:350:23:39

-I speak Welsh almost all day long.

0:23:400:23:42

-My English isn't great,

-by any means...

0:23:440:23:47

-..but some people say my accent

-when I speak English is nice.

0:23:490:23:53

-A gentleman on the phone

-said it was like music.

0:23:530:23:56

-I'm sure he was just being polite.

0:23:570:23:59

-I'm proud to speak Welsh at work.

0:23:590:24:01

-I was raised as a Welsh speaker

-and it's my natural language.

0:24:020:24:06

-The Welsh language

-is very important to me.

0:24:070:24:11

-I'm happier

-to speak Welsh than English.

0:24:110:24:14

-It can be difficult to translate

-English terms into Welsh...

0:24:140:24:18

-..but I love speaking Welsh...

0:24:180:24:21

-..especially with the farmers.

0:24:220:24:24

-I'm glad I can speak Welsh here.

0:24:320:24:34

-It's the language of the workplace

-and I think that's really important.

0:24:340:24:39

-I often find that Welsh learners...

0:24:400:24:43

-..are delighted

-that we greet them in Welsh.

0:24:430:24:46

-It's a mistake to turn to English.

0:24:480:24:51

-I admire anyone

-who can answer me in Welsh...

0:24:520:24:55

-..even though they're learners

-and they're maybe shy.

0:24:560:25:00

-I really enjoy

-using the Welsh language.

0:25:010:25:05

-It feels like a waste

-if I don't use my Welsh...

0:25:070:25:10

-..when I'm in the company

-of Welsh speakers.

0:25:110:25:14

-We all speak Welsh to each other.

0:25:210:25:25

-This is a Welsh company.

0:25:260:25:27

-We're trying

-to keep the Welsh language alive.

0:25:280:25:31

-I'm a Welshman and I speak Welsh.

0:25:390:25:41

-After the break, we look back

-at Benthyg Teulu, Llyncu Geiriau...

0:25:450:25:50

-..and the Welsh Learner Of The Year.

-which could have been better.

-What I enjoyed most...

0:30:240:30:26

-..was living with a traditional,

-Welsh family.

0:30:260:30:31

-The language

-was absolutely everywhere.

0:30:330:30:36

-Living the way that Welsh speakers

-live was a great experience.

0:30:390:30:44

-No other culture

-influences life here.

0:30:470:30:50

-What a special experience.

0:31:560:31:57

-Speaking Welsh for two days

-was something new to me.

0:31:590:32:04

-all day, every day.

0:32:070:32:10

-This is my tent.

-Can you help me, please?

0:32:180:32:21

-I've never done this before.

0:32:240:32:26

-That's obvious!

0:32:260:32:28

-It says that it should only

-take ten minutes to do this.

0:32:310:32:35

-Maybe not.

0:32:350:32:37

-It's complicated, isn't it?

0:32:390:32:41

-Will I be safe overnight?

-Singing sweetly in our land #

0:37:130:37:18

-Book? Ball?

0:37:190:37:21

-You were guessing!

0:37:230:37:24

-There was no ball and no book.

-You tried to cheat.

0:37:280:37:32

-Speaking of youngsters,

-it's Pete's turn to do a solo round.

0:37:340:37:38

-Oh, great!

0:37:380:37:40

-Menai Bridge.

0:37:420:37:43

-Unfortunately,

-it's not Menai Bridge.

0:37:440:37:47

-The other one. What's it called?

0:37:490:37:51

-The Second Bridge.

0:37:520:37:54

-The Second Bridge.

-

-The Second Bridge?

0:37:540:37:56

-I like the way you think, Sandy.

0:37:570:38:00

-What if I do this?

0:38:020:38:03

-What is meis, Steve?

0:38:050:38:06

-What is meis, Steve?

-

-More than one mouse.

0:38:060:38:08

-Some of the questions

-were hard, fair play.

0:38:140:38:17

-Um!

0:38:170:38:18

-Um.

0:38:510:38:53

-Ooh! Pass.

-

-Uh. Uh. Um.

0:38:530:38:55

-Yes? Yes?

0:38:550:38:57

-Um.

0:38:570:38:58

-Time's up!

0:38:590:39:00

-Eleri Sion is great

-at putting people in their place.

0:39:010:39:05

-Do you support a team?

0:39:050:39:07

-Do you support a team?

-

-Yes. I support Cardiff City.

0:39:070:39:09

-They're not having a good season.

0:39:090:39:12

-They never have a good season.

0:39:120:39:15

-Team B, you go first.

0:39:150:39:17

-Andy, you've done very little.

0:39:170:39:19

-Are you ready?

0:39:200:39:21

-Magnifying glass.

0:39:220:39:23

-You've contributed to the team,

-at long last!

0:39:240:39:27

-Yes!

0:39:280:39:29

-You said llwm for 'strict'

-but llym is the correct word.

0:39:290:39:33

-Llwm means bleak...

0:39:330:39:35

-..and it looked a bit bleak

-for you at first.

0:39:350:39:40

-Sandy?

0:39:410:39:43

-Sandy?

-

-Yn dawel - quietly.

0:39:430:39:44

-You don't do anything quietly.

0:39:450:39:47

-You're never quiet.

0:39:490:39:50

-Do you realize the whole of Wales

-is screaming at the telly?

0:39:510:39:55

-People are shouting,

-"The France flag! A harp!"

0:39:560:40:00

-Nul points, if I may say

-in my best French!

0:40:010:40:04

-That's the end of the round,

-thank goodness!

0:40:060:40:08

-Team B, congratulations.

0:40:110:40:13

-You haven't won

-a microwave oven or a car.

0:40:130:40:16

-You've each won a copy

-of Geiriadur Cymraeg Gomer.

0:40:170:40:23

-You have the first half

-and I'll have the second half.

0:40:240:40:27

-We're not that mean.

-You've each won a copy.

0:40:280:40:32

-Join us next time for more fun

-as we play the quiz, Llyncu Geiriau.

0:40:320:40:37

-The current series of Llyncu Geiriau

-continues in the New Year.

0:40:390:40:44

-In May this year, 15 Welsh learners

-went to Drybridge House, Monmouth...

0:40:440:40:49

-..to compete for the title

-Welsh Learner Of The Year 2016.

0:40:490:40:53

-The five learners

-who reached the final...

0:40:530:40:56

-..at the Monmouthshire And District

-National Eisteddfod were...

0:41:010:41:06

-..Naomi O'Brien from Merthyr Tydfil,

0:41:150:41:19

-..Elwyn Hughes, a Welsh For Adults

-Co-ordinator at Bangor University...

0:41:190:41:25

-..and Sandra de Pol, who comes from

-Buenos Aires and has learned Welsh.

0:41:250:41:31

-The competition was intense

-at the Eisteddfod in Abergavenny...

0:41:310:41:36

-..as the five

-faced their interviews.

0:41:360:41:39

-Is the Welsh Learner

-Of The Year Competition...

0:41:390:41:42

-..an important part

-of the activities held at Maes D?

0:41:430:41:47

-Is the aim of claiming this title

-an important part of learning Welsh?

0:41:470:41:53

-Yes, it's extremely important.

0:41:540:41:56

-I'm glad that the Eisteddfod

-gives learners such recognition.

0:41:580:42:03

-Mastering the language

-is a real feat.

0:42:050:42:09

-It's great that people who reach

-that level receive some recognition.

0:42:090:42:15

-What sort of experience

-was doing the Radio Cymru interview?

0:42:160:42:20

-We've also seen you on S4C.

0:42:200:42:22

-I was quite nervous at first...

0:42:220:42:24

-..but I can kind of relax now.

0:42:270:42:29

-I'm enjoying it.

0:42:290:42:30

-Yesterday morning,

-I went on BBC Breakfast.

0:42:350:42:38

-That was really scary

-because it was live.

0:42:380:42:41

-Since that day when your name was

-announced as one of the finalists...

0:42:440:42:49

-..what sorts of things

-have happened to you?

0:42:500:42:53

-A fantastic opportunity came my way.

0:42:550:42:58

-There's a new Welsh language

-initiative in Carmarthenshire...

0:42:580:43:03

-..which aims to attract more people

-to take Welsh classes.

0:43:040:43:08

-I was invited

-to be their ambassador.

0:43:080:43:11

-I look forward to giving something

-back and making a contribution...

0:43:110:43:16

-..to the community which

-has supported me over the years.

0:43:160:43:20

-I hope the attention I receive here

-benefits them.

0:43:200:43:24

-What are the next steps for you

-in relation to the Welsh language...

0:43:250:43:29

-..and in relation

-to using the language.

0:43:300:43:33

-In relation to the language...

0:43:330:43:36

-..I feel I've really become

-part of my family.

0:43:360:43:40

-My cousin

-has moved to Senny Bridge...

0:43:410:43:44

-..and her children

-go to a Welsh-medium school.

0:43:450:43:49

-I can now speak Welsh to them.

0:43:500:43:52

-The government announced

-that it wants to reach the target...

0:43:530:43:57

-..of one million Welsh speakers

-in the next 35 years.

0:43:570:44:01

-That's why it's important

-that children learn Welsh...

0:44:020:44:06

-..and are raised

-through the medium of Welsh.

0:44:060:44:09

-We also need to pull people who

-don't speak Welsh into the fold.

0:44:090:44:13

-I want to inspire others

-to learn Welsh.

0:44:140:44:16

-What have been your highlights

-of the process of learning Welsh?

0:44:170:44:22

-Also, have there been any low points

-during the journey?

0:44:220:44:26

-The highlight for me, and I still

-can't quite believe it...

0:44:270:44:31

-..is that people

-have come up to me and said...

0:44:320:44:35

-.."If you can do it, so can I."

0:44:350:44:37

-I always feel like,

-"OK, well that's a good thing."

0:44:370:44:41

-Also, a lot of people tell me

-I speak like a native...

0:44:410:44:45

-..and that's more of an accolade

-than any award.

0:44:450:44:48

-That's the aim

-when you learn a language.

0:44:480:44:51

-If I've done it, then bingo!

0:44:520:44:54

-I tell people that making mistakes

-is an important part of learning.

0:44:560:45:01

-Someone challenged me

-to speak Welsh for a whole day.

0:45:020:45:05

-I did it and it was amazing.

0:45:060:45:08

-Once I'd done that, I felt like,

-"Oh, yeah! This is possible now."

0:45:080:45:13

-Things moved on from there.

0:45:130:45:15

-The ceremony was held

-at The Angel Hotel, Abergavenny.

0:45:170:45:21

-Good evening and welcome...

0:45:280:45:31

-..to an evening where we honour

-the Welsh Learner Of The Year.

0:45:310:45:35

-I'd like to say in all sincerity

-what an honour and privilege...

0:45:350:45:40

-..it is for you to have me here.

0:45:400:45:42

-LAUGHTER

0:45:430:45:44

-Quite simply,

-drink, eat and be merry.

0:45:450:45:48

-Enjoy yourselves.

0:45:490:45:51

-This person makes a huge

-contribution to her community.

0:45:540:45:58

-The 2016

-Welsh Learner Of The Year...

0:46:000:46:03

-..is Hannah Roberts.

0:46:040:46:06

-I have one question for you and

-that is where do you go from here?

0:46:170:46:21

-Obviously, I'll keep on working.

0:46:220:46:24

-My aim is to normalize the language

-among young people.

0:46:240:46:28

-I just want to show the world

-that the Welsh language exists...

0:46:290:46:33

-..especially in this area.

0:46:330:46:35

-How does it feel?

0:46:390:46:40

-How does it feel?

-

-Incredible.

0:46:400:46:42

-I don't know what to feel.

0:46:420:46:44

-I was crying, you were crying

-and your mother was crying.

0:46:450:46:49

-Everyone was crying.

0:46:490:46:51

-You were sitting behind me

-and I heard you gasp.

0:46:510:46:54

-Was it really a shock?

0:46:550:46:57

-Was it really a shock?

-

-Yes.

0:46:570:46:59

-I wasn't expecting to win.

0:46:590:47:01

-The Archdruid came here

-to invite you to join the Gorsedd.

0:47:020:47:07

-I'm still waiting for my invite!

0:47:080:47:10

-Wahey!

0:47:100:47:12

-Congratulations, lovely.

0:47:140:47:16

-Thank you.

0:47:180:47:20

-We enjoyed looking back...

0:47:210:47:23

-..and now we'll move forward with

-more episodes of Dal Ati in 2017.

0:47:230:47:27

-Thank you for watching and I hope

-we have your company next year.

0:47:280:47:32

-For now, goodbye.

0:47:320:47:34

-Merry Christmas.
