Cyfres Story Sydyn: addas iawn i bobl sy'n moyn darllen yn y Gymraeg ond sy ddim yn gwybod lle i ddechrau

Haia bawb!

Yn ddiweddar, dwi wedi bod yn darllen nofelau 'Stori Sydyn' i ddarllen mwy yn y Gymraeg. Maen nhw'n rhad iawn (dim ond £1 am y rhan fwyaf o lyfrau) a mae'r straeon yn eitha fyr (tua 100 o dudalennau), felly os ti'n moyn darllen rhywbeth ond ti ddim yn siwr ble i ddechrau, maen nhw'n addas iawn.

Hefyd, dydy'r iaith ddim yn gymleth o gwbl a dwi'n gallu deall bron popeth fel rhywun sy'n gwneud cyrsiau Uwch gyda Dysgu Cymraeg er mwyn gwella fy lefel iaith.

Dwi wedi darllen:

  • Arwyr Cymru (straeon hanesyddol ond byr am arwyr Cymru)
  • Dal i fynd gan Richard Parks ble mae e'n siarad am ei daith i fynd i'r Antartig (dwi'n agwrymu hwn - wnes i rili joio'r llyfr).

Mae lot mwy ohonom nhw'n gatre gyda fi i ddarllen. Wnes i brynu nhw mewn 'bwlc' oherwydd y prisiau mor isel.

Fel dwedes i, mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonom nhw'n costio dim ond un punt ar Amazon neu yn y siopau llyfrau.

Mwynhewch!

Did your grandparents speak better Welsh than you? Or do you speak better Welsh than them?

I saw this question on the r/AskIreland threat regarding Irish and thought it would be interesting to see how this differs in Wales.

For me, my grandparents didn't speak Welsh (nor do my parents), but my great-grandparents (from the Valleys) are listed as Welsh-speakers in the 1901 Census, although weirdly the status changed to English in the 1911 Census. This was after my great-granddad moved in with his Somerset-born uncle and I've always wondered whether that's why it was filled in differently.

My granddad did have a lot of passing knowledge of Welsh - using words like 'duw', 'mochyn' and 'twp' on a daily basis.

I learnt Welsh at school (2nd language) but then continued to learn as an adult and I'm now more or less fluent although I do still take lessons with Dysgu Cymraeg. I have certain friends that I only speak Welsh with so I definitely speak it better than my grandparents did.
