Ordering Food | Dosbarth Cymraeg

Long overdue but here's a DC on ordering food and other common eating out sentences.

Enjoy ðŸ˜...

Taking a break

I'll be back to posting content on the weekend, but I'm just feeling a bit down and useless right now. I'm going to take a few days to collect myself. It's probably a good time to have a break anyway whilst i'm still getting used to my new meds.

My new tiktok is @merchcymru99 & i'm gon...

Sexuality | Dosbarth Cymraeg

Helo! Today we are learning lgbtqia+ terms in Cymraeg.
Same disclaimer as the gender identity video, Cymraeg is always evolving but is missing key terms for certain orientations. This does not mean they will not exist forever, just that word stake time to develop. I will update the description...

Eryri & Yr Wyddfa | Snowdon's Mythological Name

This took forever to export.. its 2am 🤣

In this video we dive into the Arthurian Legend behind Snowdon's native name 'Yr Wyddfa' and the recent attempts to restore the National Park to it's Cymraeg name

Pronouns & Gender Identity | Dosbarth Cymraeg

Cymraeg is a gendered language. Yes, it may seem outdated to still refer to words as masculine and feminine, but the language has not yet evolved for a lot of gender neutral terminology.
This site explains it pretty well. Since 60% of the language is masculine, just assume its masculine til pr...

To Be | Dosbarth Cymraeg

Cheeky bit of conjugation and recap of pronouns before we get back into learning new things

Gresford Colliery Disaster

I originally started this series a few months ago, but got a lot of backlash from Tiktok for daring to care about the tragedies that have impacted our nation. Now I have a safe space where I can speak freely, it's time to remember those we have lost.

Ynys Llanddwyn & the story of Santes Dwynwen

I'm going to do a little series on decolonising Cymru's history and place names, starting with Ynys Llanddwyn, Ynys Môn in North Wales.

Next week we'll be looking at Eryri (Snowdonia) and the current battle to rebrand the National Park with the original Welsh name.

T*ffy part 2

From 'Nurse Lovechild's Legacy', page 94

'T*ffy Was A Welshman'

I tried to make a tiktok friendly version of this video a few months back and it was instantly taken down.. are we surprised? Anyway here's as much of the history as i think is necessary to explain this particular slur. Feel free to fall down the rabbit hole, but be warned most accounts of events...

Dosbarth Cymraeg

The first couple of videos will be the wrong way around because I've been out of the YouTube game for too long :)  have a basic schedule set out, but my the wedding is coming up so bare with me because I will be travelling for a bit. Anyway here's a recap video just so it's safe... I might e...

After deleting my main account merchcymru, tiktok have been repeatedly taking down videos from my backup account and deleting comments I have tagged them in. Since I now also have a posting ban on my backup account, I've set this up after followers suggestions. I haven't worked out a posting sche...
