Gweithiwr: Bore da. Dw i'n iawn diolch. Sut dych chi?
Cwsmer: Da iawn diolch ond mae hi'n oer heddiw.

Cwsmer: Dych chi'n gallu dweud hynny unwaith eto os gwelwch yn dda? Mae'n ddrwg gen i. Dw i ddim yn deall. Dw i angen mwy o ymarfer siarad a gwrando!
Gweithiwr: Wrth gwrs! Dim problem! Dych chi wedi clywed am y llyfrau 'Amdani'? Llyfrau - nofelau a straeon - i ddysgwyr Cymraeg o bob lefel gan awduron poblogaidd o Gymru.

This is the third in a new series of revision translation exercises written by Matt Spry ( Eisteddfod Welsh Language Learner 2018). These exercises utilize the vocabulary and grammar that you have already learned on the Croeseiriau Cymraeg course in parts 1 & 2. There may be a few words that you are unfamiliar with but you can always look them up. There will be six exercises in the series when complete.
As you can see above the English and Welsh texts are on separate tabs SO you can translate from Welsh to English or vice versa. You can also use the Welsh text as a reading and comprehension exercise if you don't feel fully confident to translate it straight off the bat. We are sure that this resource will prove invaluable however you decide to use it. Mwynhewch!
