Beth
sydd
yn
eich
dychryn
chi
wrth
feddwl
am
gael
sgwrs
yn
Gymraeg?
Mae’n
gam
fawr
a
does
gennych
chi
ddim
syniad
i
ba
gyfeiriad
y
bydd
y
sgwrs
yn
mynd,
mae’n
gwbl
wahanol
i’r
sgyrsiau
dach
chi’n
cael
yn
y
dosbarth
achos
yna
mae
pawb
ar
yr
un
safon.
Felly
mae’n
rhaid
cael
ffordd
i
foddi
eich
hun
yn
yr
iaith
heb
achosi
poen
i
chi.
Mae
Radio
Cymru
yn
rhoi
ffordd
arbennig
o
dda
i
wrando
ar
sgyrsiau
pobl
eraill
a
does
dim
rhaid
poeni
nad
ydych
chi’n
deall
pob
gair,
daliwch
ati
i
wrando
ac
mewn
amser
byddech
chi’n
dechrau
deall
-
wir
i
chi!
Roeddwn
i
heb
siarad
yr
iaith
am
25
o
flynyddoedd
a
dim
hyder
o
gwbl
i
gynnal
sgwrs.
Yn
ffodus
iawn
lle
o’n
i’n
byw
yn
Lloegr
roedd
Radio
Cymru
ar
gael
ac
wrth
dapio'r
rhaglen
gyntaf
yn
y
bore
roeddwn
i’n
gallu
cael
ynys
o
Gymreictod
yn
y
car
pan
o’n
i
allan.
Pob
hyn
a
hyn
roedd
'na
air
yn
sefyll
allan
o’r
lleill
a
dyna
oedd
‘gair
y
diwrnod’
yr
un
oedd
rhaid
cael
yr
ystyr.
Roedd
fy
ngeirfa
yn
ehangu
a
chyn
bo
hir
dyna
le
oeddwn
i'n
dadlau
yn
uchel
gyda’r
radio
os
oeddwn
i’n
anghytuno
a’r
sgwrs.
Gobeithio
doedd
neb yn fy ngweld!
Mi
wnes
i
ddechrau
darllen
llyfrau
hefyd,
llyfrau
ar
gyfer
plant
yn
eu
harddegau,
i
ddechrau
roeddwn
i’n
chwilio
trwy’r
geiriadur
o
hyd
felly
anodd
iawn
i
gael
y
cyd-destun.
Achos
hynny
doedd
y
stori
ddim
yn
rhedeg
felly
wnes
i
benderfynu
darllen
y
llyfr
heb
cymorth
y
geiriadur
a
thrio
gwneud
synnwyr
o’r
stori.
Roeddwn
i
mor
falch
pan
wnes
i
gyrraedd
y
diwedd
a
theimlo
fy
mod
i
wedi
cael
blas
o’r
stori.
Ond
dach
chi’n
gwybod
be?
Hyd
yn
oed
ar
ôl
i
chi
ddarllen
y
llyfr
mae’r
geiriau
yn
dal
yna
ac
ar
yr
ail
dro
mae
popeth
yn
llawer
cliriach,
am
un
peth
dach
chi’n
deall
y
cymeriadau
yn
well
a
hefyd
mae
eich
ymennydd
yn
gwneud
ei
waith
yn
llawer
gwell
hefyd.
Cofiwch,
y
dyddiau
yma
mae
Radio
Cymru
yn
darparu
podlediadau
i
chi
lawr
lwytho, cymerwch fantais ohonyn nhw.
Un
peth
byddech
chi’n
siŵr
o
sylwi
yw
bydd
‘na
eiriau
dach
chi’n
deall
eu
hystyr
pan
ddach
chi’n
eu
gweld
nhw
ond
maen
nhw’n
anodd
iawn
i
gofio
pan
ddach
chi’n
sgwrsio.
Na
phoeniwch,
ar
ôl
i
chi
lwyddo
i
ddefnyddio’r
gair
unwaith
mi
fydd
o
yna
yn
eich cof y tro nesaf.
Crëwch eich ynys o Gymreictod i’ch hun!
Easy Practice
What
frightens
you
about
the
thought
of
having
a
conversation
in
Welsh?
It’s
a
big
step
and
you
have
no
idea
to
which
direction
your
conversation
will
go,
it’s
totally
different
to
the
little
chats
you
have
in
your
class
because
there
everyone
is
at
the
same
level.
So
you
will
have
to
have
a
way
to
immerse
yourself
in
the
language
without
causing
you
distress.
Radio
Cymru
provides
an
ideal
way
of
listening
to
conversations
without
worrying
about
every
word,
keep
at
it
and
in
time
you
will
start
to
understand
-
really!
I
hadn’t
spoken
Welsh
for
25
years,
no
confidence
to
have
a
conversation.
With
luck
where
I
lived
in
England
I
could
get
Radio
Cymru
and
I
used
to
tape
the
first
programme
of
the
morning
so
I
had
an
island
of
Welshness
in
the
car.
Every
now
and
then
a
word
stood
out
and
that
was
the
‘word
of
the
day’,
the
one
I
had
to
find
its
meaning.
My
vocabulary
expanded
and
before
long
I
was
arguing
with
the
radio
If
I
disagreed
with
the
conversation.
Hopefully no-one saw me!
I
started
to
read
books
too,
books
for
teenagers,
in
the
beginning
I
was
looking
words
up
in
the
dictionary
all
the
time
so
it
was
difficult
to
get
the
context.
The
story
didn’t
run
so
I
decided
to
just
read
the
book
and
try
and
make
sense
of
it.
I
was
so
pleased
when
I
reached
the
end
and
got
the
feeling
that
I
had
the
gist
of
it.
But
do
you
know
what?
Even
after
you
have
read
the
book
the
words
are
still
there
and
the
second
time
you
read
it
it
is
much
clearer,
for
one
thing
you
better
understand
the
characters
and
also
your
brain
does
its
work
much
better
too.
Remember
these
days
Radio
Cymru
supply
podcasts
for
you
to
download,
take
advantage
of
them. Record them to your device.
One
thing
you
are
bound
to
notice
is
that
there
will
be
words
that
you
understand
the
meaning
of
but
which
are
not
so
easy
to
recall
in
a
conversation.
Don’t
worry,
after
you
have
succeeded
to
use
the
word
once
it
will
be
there
in
your memory the next time.
Create your own island of Welshness!
