Welsh Lesson 1 - The Welsh Alphabet

Here is the first of a series of brief lessons teaching the basics of the Welsh language, created for an online friend of mine.
Couple of notes, firstly I look sideways cause it's late at night and I think I can hear someone come downstairs, probably wondering "Who is that idiot reciting the alphabet?", and I'm smiling for the same reason really.

Leave me an note and enjoy.

@pk33617 Nope, S is what we use instead of "Z" (like, "Sw" instead of "Zoo". :)

continuing....

Like, I didn't even know that loch was a word!

Anyways, I think welsh is a beautiful language with such a deep history and I find it way more intriguing than Spanish or French (the two most common foreign languages offered to students in America).

So, thank you so very much for posting. You're a real help!

Woo, thanks a lot for putting up this tutorial :) I'm lucky that a lot of the sounds in Welsh are similar to certain sounds in Swedish.
