This seems very good. I've just tweeted it.

I'm glad you posted!

I don't know the answer concerning which is more common. I believe 2/3 of Welsh people live in South Wales. However, you'll find a greater percentage of the Welsh living in the North speak the language. My family is from South Wales so South Walian it is for me.

I've recently found this myself and as a new learner to Welsh, some of the phrases seem so different from what I've been learning with Say Something In Welsh. Especially the differences between 'I want' in SSIW:"dwi'n moyn" and TBWC: "dwi eisiau". I'm learning Southern, btw. Which is more common? I do understand that in the north it's "dwi eisiau/isio".

Oh and 'hi!' First post.

I'm sure most AC members already know about this so I posted it for newbies. This is a good supplement for beginning Welsh learners. Includes North and South Walian dialects. It's interactive and works best with FLASH but there's a scaled down version for Apple users:
