we need a welsh speaker alignment chart based on how you spell jyst/jysd/jesd and sistem/sustem/system

so i've been studying welsh since i saw your w post a week and a half ago, and i'm about 20% through my course and i've been looking up welsh language music on spotify and i've found some cool stuff, but i can't find lyrics for any of the songs online. can you rec some welsh language musicians whose lyrics i can read along with somewhere? thanks!

heya, if you’re a fan of modern stuff i normally recommend sŵnami and yws gwynedd and gwilym and the like, but the lyrics online for scene stuff can be kinda patchy! i’d recommend maybe having a look for more traditional songs – sosban fach, bachgen bach o dincer, yma o hyd, or maybe christmas carols. less useful for learning modern welsh slang, but infinitely easier to find lyrics for

i’d also recommend checking out youtube – this channel seems to have a lot of lyric videos (i’m especially fond of fflur dafydd’s stuff), and even if you can’t find lyrics, you might be able to find live and/or acoustic versions of the songs. sometimes i find that it’s easier to hear/understand lyrics with different background noise.

if there’s any other welsh speakers who fancy chucking in their dwy geiniog, please do reblog and add suggestions!

pob lwc a dal ati!

y’know sometimes the >85k notes on that post about welsh spelling feels like a curse but honestly if it had gone cross-platform maybe i wouldn’t have to deal with an austrian guy on twitter trying to derail a little thing i made about welsh history with another tired old key-smash joke

you ever find out a welsh learner is learning gog welsh and feel a deep deep sadness that you have yet again failed to save another poor soul
