I for one am a very basic beginner and would find writing the above English in Welsh very difficult. Please refrain from asking others to write in Welsh if they are not yet capable of it. Eventually through reading what others have written in Wlesh, and through their own studies, people will be able to learn that language, but until then it is difficult to speak it. I have not written very much here because I do not yet feel cpcable of writing anything lengthy in Welsh, and perhaps others feel this way as well. I would like to write in Welsh and understand that I will not be degraded by others for attempting to do so, but I think that it wil be a little longer before I am able to. So, please, don't get militant about speaking only in Welsh, or I promise you you will run off the beginners like me.
