O'r gorau, rydw i wedi darllen digon o'r sgwrs yma. Mae pethau'n syml: Siaradwyr, dangoswch tipyn bach o goddefgarwch i'r dysgwyr. Mae gen i dawn i ieithoedd arall, 'dw i wedi mynd i'r Wythnos Etifoddiaeth dwywaith, a rydw i'n 'sgrifennu at ffrindiau Gymry Gymraeg yn eithaf aml, a dydw i ddim ym rhugl eto ar o^l tair mlynedd. Dysgwyr, I know from experience how hard it is to learn this language on your own. But as another poster said, making the effort to write in Welsh will teach you more than set lessons. I started by writing just a sentence or two to Welsh friends. My guidebook was Y Lolfa's "Welcome to Welsh", which takes a "choose one from column A & one from column B" approach to basic sentence construction. I wore that puppy out flipping around trying to compose comprehensible Welsh sentences, but by golly, after awhile I got better. Stretch yourselves! Siaradwyr, mae'n rhaid i chi darpar cywiriad _caredig_ i'r ymdrechau'r dysgwyr. Os dydyn ni ddim yn gwybod pan rydyn ni wedi gwneud camgymeriadau, sut byddwn ni'n dysgu'n well? Ar y llaw arall, os rydych chi'n gwawdio'n ymdrechau ni, pam fyddwn ni _eisiau_ dysgu'n well?! Byddwn ymladd gyda'r Sais, ac nid gyda'n gilydd. (Brief summary: learners, make a sincere effort to write in Welsh; speakers, be tolerant of our efforts and correct us _politely_ when we screw up. End of rant.) Lisa Deeds
