-

-Tatws - potatoes.

-Tomato?

-Tomato?

-

-Tomato.

-Easy! You've got it sorted, mate!

-Why do you want to learn Welsh?

-My girlfriend is a fluent

-Welsh speaker, from North Wales.

-It would be nice to be able

-to talk to her for the first time.

-Is that a case that you'll learn

-more Northwalian than Southwalian?

-I will, yes.

-What do you know already?

-Llefrith instead of llaeth.

-Llefrith instead of llaeth.

-

-Milk.

-Rwan instead of nawr.

-They're very particular about that.

-Coming from Cardiff,

-I'm getting some stick for it.

-Why didn't you learn Welsh?

-Where are you from?

-that was English-speaking.

-It's embarrassing not to be able to

-speak the language of your country.

-What do you hope to get

-out of the cariad@iaith experience?

-I'd like to speak Welsh

-with my girlfriend and her friends.

-Tom, are you looking forward

-to cariad@iaith?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-Why?

-It's a good opportunity

-for me to speak Welsh.

-Where in Cardiff were you raised?

-Did you learn Welsh at school?

-I had hardly any Welsh at my junior

-schools in Canton and Coryton.

-with Mrs Slade and Mr Bowen...

-..whom I met

-at the Eisteddfod last year.

-came before enjoyment!

-Do you now go to formal lessons?

-No, I haven't been to

-a formal lesson since I left school.

-I try to keep the costs down!

-You've learned Welsh

-without spending a single penny.

-Yes, plus I've made

-a bit of money from it too!

-But that's not why I did it.

-Do you feel totally fluent now?

-Do you feel totally fluent now?

-

-Not quite but I'm nearly fluent.

-Coming to meet you today

-I get ideas from those objects.

-Sometimes, I experiment with

-the object when I need inspiration.

-At other times,

-I use feeling to create an artwork.

-I was once

-travelling home on a bus...

-..when I saw a banana skin

-behind my seat.

-I thought the way it sat there

-was interesting.

-That's why I sketched it in pencil.

-I usually work

-in my studio at home...

-..but sometimes, I use the

-facilities at The Printhaus.

-There are workshops and

-printing studios at The Printhaus.

-They rent out studios to artists...

-..and you can learn

-to screen print here.

-They have all the

-screen printing equipment you need.

-You need specialist equipment if you

-want to do some screen printing.

-You need UV lights, a spray bath...

-..a printing bench, squeegees...

-..and lots of other things.

-I have two children

-and Welsh is their first language.

-I've read Welsh to them

-all their lives...

-..and I've tried to learn Welsh

-along with them...

-..from day to day.

-The more you practise speaking Welsh

-the more you improve...

-..and the more relaxed you become.

-Once you relax,

-your confidence grows.

-I find that Welsh speakers

-are really fond of Welsh learners.

-The language is very important.

-I want to use Welsh

-in my professional work...

-..as an artist and as a lecturer.

-I started to teach people through

-the medium of Welsh last year...

-..and I'm keen to develop that.

-Mike, like many Cardiffians,

-has learned Welsh...

-..and he's sent his children

-to a Welsh-medium school.

-See you after the break

-to hear more about Cardiff.

-Welcome back to Cardiff Bay.

-Around 20 years ago, this area

-saw huge changes taking place...

-..when Cardiff Bay Barrage

-was built across the bay...

-..creating this lake behind me.

-Cardiff Bay is now

-full of modern buildings...

-..like The Millennium Centre,

-the Senedd...

-..plus hotels, restaurants and bars.

-The Bay brought a taste

-of the continent to Cardiff.

-Many old buildings have gone...

-..but some, like

-The Pierhead Building still remain.

-Another building

-which is still standing...

-..is St Stephen's Church Hall.

-Designer, Dylan Griffith,

-converted it into a modern home...

-..as Aled Sam, Greg Stevenson

-and Minti discovered.

-For help to follow the programme

-take a look at the website...

-..or download the Dal Ati app.

-Before I bought it, I lived in a

-cramped, two bedroom terraced house.

-It was full of bikes

-and climbing gear.

-I wanted some space.

-I wanted somewhere where I could

-experiment, architecturally.

-Dylan Griffith's contemporary home

-is a temple of modern design...

-..in the middle of Cardiff Bay.

-Nothing in particular attracted me

-to it, other than its size...

-..and the potential it had,

-before I did something with it.

-There's nothing extraordinary

-about its exterior.

-You could walk past

-without noticing it.

-I kept it that way

-for a good reason.

-This building

-was one large, open space?

-Yes, more or less.

-There was a wall

-down the centre of the building.

-It divided the vestry and the room

-in which services were held.

-From what I hear,

-that's why the wall was built.

-Was it your aim to open it out

-and knock down the wall?

-I wanted to make sure

-the old building remained untouched.

-We built a house inside

-the outer shell of the building.

-Would you tackle

-a similar project again?

-If you'd asked me two years ago

-I'd have said no way!

-But I've lived here for four years

-and I'm keen to do it all again.

-This is an oasis, away from

-the things that go on outside.

-You can create anything you like

-inside this building.

-In that respect,

-the surroundings are irrelevant.

-What a fine example of combining old

-and new to create something modern.

-Geraint Pickard

-is another Cardiff Bay boy.

-He's an actor and a member

-of a band called Clinigol.

-I talked to him a while ago

-about his style.

-I never shop in Cardiff.

-I shop in London and only London.

-Harvey Nichols is my favourite shop.

-How would someone who passes you

-on the street define your style?

-Possibly urban chic or shabby chic.

-Would you be happy

-with that description?

-Yes, as long as the word chic

-was involved, I'd be happy!

-I'm an actor

-and I'm in the band, Clinigol.

-You become confident enough...

-..to pick things up and wear them

-without thinking.

-What's the most money you've spent

-on one shopping trip?

-Go on - tell me!

-It's probably around 1,500.

-That's quite a lot but, as you say,

-you wear them for a whole season.

-Around four shop assistants

-packed for me.

-They were all wondering, "Who's he?"

-That's my main wardrobe.

-Ta-dah!

-Ta-dah!

-

-Wow! You're really tidy.

-Are there any items here

-which you bought on the high street?

-No, not really.

-I know if I buy designer clothes,

-no-one else will be wearing them.

-I like the idea

-that I'm wearing something unique.

-That cardigan's great.

-Yes. I bought it

-just before Christmas.

-I was with friends and they all

-told me not to buy a cardigan.

-But as soon as I put it on,

-everyone loved it.

-Sometimes, fashion isn't about

-wearing fashionable clothes.

-It's all about having the eye

-to wear it in the right way.

-As you see, I wear it on a skew

-with a T-shirt underneath.

-These are my favourite jeans.

-I think they represent my style

-to perfection.

-There's paint on them

-and they have a distressed look.

-It's the most expensive item

-I've bought.

-How much were they?

-How much were they?

-

-They were 300.

-I don't follow fashion...

-..but I think I pick things up

-subconsciously from TV.

-I remember seeing Justin Timberlake

-at the BRITs one year...

-..in a smart pair of trousers,

-a scruffy T-shirt...

-..and white trainers.

-I thought he looked cool

-at the time.

-A few days later, I found myself

-buying smart trousers.

-Before I turned 30, I was paranoid

-about being too old...

-..so I started to wear T-shirts

-which sent a message to the world...

-..that I wasn't bothered

-about turning 30.

-Youth By Itself Is Not Enough.

-Another T-shirt says...

-..Like You I Once Was

-Like Me You Will Be.

-It was just a little joke

-about turning 30.

-My style is evolving,

-now that I'm getting older.

-I wear things

-which are less crazy, I suppose.

-I looked in my wardrobe

-for this programme...

-..and I'm horrified that I bought

-and wore some of the items in there.

-These jeans are the worst

-item of clothing I own.

-These safety pins

-run all the way down the leg...

-..front and back.

-Amazing!

-I look at them now and I'm disgusted

-I spent money on them.

-At the time, they were

-totally and utterly fashionable.

-I got lots of attention and comments

-when I wore them...

-..but now, I can't believe I had

-the confidence to wear them in town!

-I detest them! They're horrible.

-And yet, you kept them.

-Yes, because

-I spent so much money on them.

-They may come back into fashion.
