Just had our first beautiful baby . My husband is welsh and a welsh speaker and we would like to know if there are any other welsh speakers in Bath / Bristol to meet up and encourage welsh speaking

Llongyfarchiadau!

I'm not in Bath or Bristol (North Wales actually) but hoping you will find someone.
Even if you can't,it is perfectly possible.My father did it with us in a country miles away from Wales.

Have you checked out Twf website for some pointers/encouragement?

I'll do a linkk..

Ahhh! Clare - my son has tonnes of videos and DVDs in Welsh (also 2 cd-roms and some books) and we live in Bath! You are welcome to borrow what you like and if you find a native-speaker (I tried putting adverts up around town to no avail) then PLEASE let me know. I think there is a welsh club in Bristol - give me a bell 01225 338712

JoannaArcher1, sorry, I've reported your post, as I don't think it is a good idea for you to put your phone number up for any loony to take advantage of.

If you've paid the going rate (think it's £5), you can use the Contact a Mumsnetter (CAT) facility, so you can exchange details off board.

Sorry to put a downer on your generous offer.

And clare, pob lwc with your search (apologies if I've spelt it wrong - dh and dds are Welsh speakers, I'm just a hanger-on!)

JoannaArcher1 · 04/09/2007 22:59

Thanks - but I think I'm the best judge of that!

emsiewill · 05/09/2007 08:24

Fine, I was only trying to help.

PrincessGoodLife · 05/09/2007 08:32

I second what moondog said - it is possible! And I know that there are welsh speakers in both Bristol and Bath as my friend lives there and they all 'hang out' sometimes. Internet search for groups, asking at the uni, etc will produce results I'm sure. Twf is a good place to start as they have a message board. And MN obviously!

Moondog - sut mae? popeth yn iawn yma. newydd bod gartref am wythnos yn ymweld a'r teulu, ond yn falch i bod yn ol yma nawr yn y tawelwch!

Siwmai
I know this is an old post but did anyone find any further information about Welsh speakers in Bath. I'd love to use my Welsh and would love my son to hear other people speaking Welsh, so if anyone out there wants to meet up and speak I'd love to hear from them...
Gobeithio clywed wrth rhywun yn fuan....??

I am learning Welsh and would love to join a group in the Bristol area that spoke Welsh.

Crystyn · 18/07/2019 09:47

WELSH-speaking groups in the Bristol area? I am learning Welsh via books and would love to join a Welsh-speaking group in the BRISTOL area.

Deipnosophista · 08/01/2020 14:03

I also want to contact Welsh speakers in Bath. I live in Bath and have been learning Welsh for nearly ten years, but it's a drag having to drive all the way to Cwmbran to classes every week! I'd love to join a group talking Welsh round here.

Ben22 · 06/12/2022 20:09

Shwmae, nid yw siaradwr cymraeg mewn bristol neu bath eisiau i cwrdd i fynny am y sgwrs a coffee mewn cymraeg neu i neud rhwybeth arall? Neges fi os ateb oes.

Hi, is there welsh speakers in Bristol or Bath want to meet up for a chat and coffee in welsh or to do something else. Pm me if your answer is yes.

Ben22 · 06/12/2022 20:10

Did you find a group or not?

Ydych chi'n chwilio grwp neu ddim?

Ben22 · 06/12/2022 20:12

Shwmae, dwi'n byw mewn cymru ond dw i'n mewn bristol pob mis os ti moyn i cwrdd i sgwrs gyda gilydd mewn cymraeg dros coffee

Niafc · 07/12/2022 13:29

siwmae…I’d be up for any meetings in Bath? I’m not a first language speaker but have decent Welsh having grown up in west wales. Typing in English because of the autocorrect. Not sure how we move forward without putting up contacts???

Ben22 · 07/12/2022 17:53

Hi we could add each other on kik and then exchange details via kik. My girlfriend lives in Bristol, so could meet Bath, Bristol or around that area for a coffee or something.

Deipnosophista · 07/12/2022 19:58

Diolch am y neges. Dw i'n brysur iawn ar hyn o bryd, ond anfona i ateb yfory.

alasangne · 07/12/2022 20:05

Probably easier to go to Wales than when thread was started since they scrapped the toll

Ben22 · 08/12/2022 12:32

Eich croeso Deipnosophista, ddim problem o gwbl. Dw i'n ddim yn aros i clywed o chi. Ble dych chi'n byw o hyn o bryd?

Niafc · 08/12/2022 21:55

Ben22 dwi ddim yn cyfarwydd a Kik ond swnio fel syniad dda

Deipnosophista, gan bo fi’n byw yn Bath hefyd falle fydd e’n haws cwrdd. Dwi’n byw yn Bear Flat…ydych chi’n bell?

Deipnosophista · 09/12/2022 13:05

Ben: Dw i ddim yn adnabod kik…ond mae problem arall ac yn fwy.
Gosoda i’r neges yn wreiddiol cyn Covid, a mae fy ngwraig wedi dosbarthu “exceptionally clinically vulnerable”. Felly dyn ni wedi gweddu yn ofalus iawn, a dyn ni ddim eisiau ar hyn o bryd cwrdd â bobl dan do. Ac ar hyn o bryd dyn ni yng ngaeaf!
Efallai pan mae’r afiechyd wedi lleihau?

Niafc a Ben: Neu fallai mae cyfle arall – dw i’n cael syniad. Ar Bear Flat mae caffi “The Good Bear Café”, gyda bordau ar y palment yn yr awyr agored. Mae hi’n agos i fi – dw I’n byw yn Greenway Lane. Gallwn ni efalle cwrdd yn y caffi at goffi – mae’r rhagoligon y tywydd eitha yn dda ddydd Mercher nesa, 14 Rhagfyr. Am 11 o’r gloch?

Ond dw i’n rhybuddio, dw i’n siarad Cymraeg yn wael iawn iawn!

Ben22 · 09/12/2022 17:40

Ddim problem Niafc, yn lle pryd ydy ar gael i cwrdd am coffi, am penwythnos mis hon os gwelch yn dda?

Niafc · 09/12/2022 18:21

Deipnosophista…Mae cymraeg chi’n well na fy nghymraeg i!! Dwi’n gwybod y caffe’n iawn…Mae’r coffi’n dda ☺️ bydda I’n gweithio ar ddydd mercher ond dim ar ddydd Llun neu dydd mawrth? Dwi ddim yn gweithio o gwbl wythnos ar ol chwaith??

Ben22 · 10/12/2022 11:47

Ddim problem o gwbl amdanaf ddim gwybod kik. Mae blin da fi gyda eich hanner arall ddim dda. Dw i'n ddeall gweld enwedig amser blwyddyn hon!

Dw i'n ddim ar gael ar y dydd a amser hynny achos rwy'n mewn y gwaith, ond dw i'n ar gael wedyn 23rd am Rhagfyr.

Beth amser ydych ar gael arall mis hon am fi i ymuno chi am y coffi?

Dw i'n ddim yn aros am eich ateb.

Deipnosophista · 11/12/2022 14:34

Mae'r rhagolygon y tywydd wedi newid! Nawr wythnos nesa bydd e'n waeth yn fawr. Falle dylen ni aros tan y wythnos ganlynol, a phenderfynu ddydd Sadwrn os byddai cyfle arall ddydd Sul 18 neu Llun 19 neu Mawrth 20? Neu aros tan mis Ionawr?
