His videos have always been a bit rubbish. He’s the Stacey Dooley on the travel vlogging world.
Sounds very certain of that!..
Statistically if you meet 4 Welsh people, you’ve met someone you could have spoken Welsh with. It’s ridiculous to get all upset at Welsh signage and call it “a dead language”
Who the fuck is he
They say Welsh is a dying language..
However it you’re in a different country and speak Welsh, chances are a Welsh person will find you…….
851,000+ out of a population of just over 3 million is hardly dying, even if it has decreased in recent years. I used to watch this guy’s videos but he’s just had a very sternly worded DM from me on instagram.
If you want to learn Welsh, you can register with [www.learnwelsh.cymru](http://www.learnwelsh.cymru) for a year’s tuition for £50. The discount code is WELSH25. You can also come and join us over in r/Cymru where we speak in Welsh.

Mostly bots probably
So…if I speak a dead language I must be a ghost.
Wow

“My Liege, the foreign nation requires such a large army because it has so much unrest, their their advanced weaponry is surely a sign of their barbaric need to compensate against our glorious realm” energy. Does show how you can spin a fact into complete nonsense by taking out the context of “Actually its rapidly increasing and by sheer population numbers is higher than it has ever been in history”
I hate this trend of people banging on about how much they travel just by ticking off countries on a checklist. (though he’s ticked off Wales in more ways than one here)
Spend a week or 2 (or longer if you’re able) in a place to try and really find out the feel for it. Go to the pub/bar, go to a local festival or sports event. Check out the museums and art galleries and restaurants etc. If you did this in Wales it wouldn’t take long for it to become clear that the “dying language” stuff is total nonsense.
But instead he’s probably in Wales for a few hours to say “ok, Wales… check!”, get a picture of Cardiff Castle with the flag then jet right off to the next country for the same stuff.
Tfw Welsh is literally the only “celtic” language that isn’t dying at L6 level – it’s growing in both Wales and England.
There are more native speakers than at any point since the 5th century – which of course is far back enough that were talking about the ancestor of the ancestor of the ancestor of modern Welsh, and the English were busy freezing their arses off in central Denmark.
Brother needs to visit Gwynedd, then reevaluate his opinion
What a wanker.
This is the guy who slagged off a country because a parent threatened to beat him up when he took a photo of his kid on a bus without permission.
Name and shame.
A lot of these travel YouTubers are strong evidence that travel doesn’t necessarily broaden the mind
1 in 4 is pretty good stat considering how many people move to Wales without knowing it and never learn
Dafydd Iwan has entered the chat.
To be clear – I say this having suffered through some of his travel vlogs – the man is genuinely an idiot. Barely a secondary school-level understanding of the geography and politics he tries to assert his expertise in.
It’s on a sign. Hardly an indicator of a dying language. What a tool
Cymraeg is the only Celtic language not considered critically endangered by the UN
What an absolute carrot!
Anyone who says Welsh is a dying language doesn’t give a shit about British culture and the unique cultural landscape of Wales.
Moved to England and this week alone I’ve met 3 old Welsh lady’s in a very small town lmao. Idk where they keep coming from but I love them so much 😂💖
As I say here in Ireland when I hear that said about our language, It will live longer than you or I
I find it hilarious how we always spot the accent or hear a welsh word when on holiday and suddenly we just sort of..
Gravitate towards each other.
I was in Tunisia years ago and heard “no butt” from about 30 yards and just shouted “BOYOOO”
suddenly our group of 6 became a group of 14 then a few days later there were about 24-26 welsh blokes getting pissed having a laugh
I say this, with hand on heart, I fucking love our people
I’ve just scrolled down my feed and seen another post saying that free online Welsh language studies have been made available to ALL UK Civil Servants.
I’m London born to Irish parents but fuck it, I’m going to sign up. I should’ve learned some Irish but this is available and free.
I also want to see the look on the bar staffs face in the Owain Glyndŵr when a barrel shaped fella wearing an Irish rugby shirt orders a pint of Guinness Zero after we play up in 2027 6N’s
