Welsh is very lyrical. Shame bout Maori. It too sounds really nice. Be happy to see the world’s most irritating ( to my ears) languages die out. Starting with Arabic and Vietnamese.

You beat me to it. We just watched an episode of The Crown where young Prince Charles tries to learn Welsh. I had seen that clip of the weatherman pronouncing the name of the town in Wales and showed it to my daughter. I think he did a great job.

If you want to REALLY hear Welsh, search for episodes of Pobol Y Cwm on youtube.

Do fast people learn in a different way than slow people?

Sorry I don’t believe that many people speak Welsh on a daily basis.
