Pres.	Croeso! Welcome. Croeso i Catchphrase 2000 - the brand
                new way to learn Welsh in easy stages. We'll be building
                each day on what you've already learnt. 

                You'll learn at a manageable, steady pace by
                eavesdropping on our family, the Lloyds - Catrin, Guto,
                their 16 year old son Rhys, and baby Llinos. 

                As the Lloyds get on with their ordinary, everyday life,
                Catchphrase 2000 guides you through the normal,
                day-to-day Welsh that they use. 

                OK - let's meet the Lloyds. Guto works in an office in the
                town centre, while his wife Catrin is a teacher. But she's on
                maternity leave at the moment with their new daughter
                Llinos. Their son Rhys is 16 and in his final year in the
                Ysgol Gyfun - the high school. 

                Listen as they introduce themselves. The two key phrases
                to listen out for are: 
                Shw mae - an informal way of greeting someone - Shw mae
                and 'dw i - I am - 'dw i. 
                Shw mae! Alwena 'dw i. In Welsh, we put the name first -
                Alwena 'dw i - I'm Alwena.
So … here they all are … Catrin	
Catrin		Shw mae. Catrin 'dw i.	
Pres.	unobtrusively	… her husband Guto	
Guto		Shw mae. Guto 'dw i.	
Pres.	unobtrusively	… and their son Rhys.	
Rhys	not v. enthusiastic	Uuh. Shw mae? Rhys 'dw i.	
Llinos	moans		

Pres.            	Baby Llinos. She looks sweet - but at three months old, she
                can still be a terror at night as Catrin and Guto will tell
                you. 

                Over the next few weeks, you'll meet more members of the
                Lloyd family, their friends, neighbours and colleagues. In
                fact, in the next session you'll meet Bethan, who's just
                started working for the same company as Guto. 

                Try saying Shw mae to as many people you can during the
                rest of today. Start practising straight away! By the end of
                this week you'll have started to build up a whole new
                vocabulary...
And  before we go, listen to the first of our top tips on how to get to grips with Welsh from some learners who’ve already made it….. here’s footballer Mark Hazelhurst - he says:

Pres:       (For omnibus) Helo! Croeso !-  welcome to the first omnibus edition of  Catchphrase 2000, the new way to learn Welsh in simple manageable  steps. In this prohgramme, we’ll be catching up on the five minute programmes broadcast every morning on Radio Wales.

Pres.	Helo. Shw mae! And welcome back to Catchphrase 2,000, the way to learn Welsh in small stages, running daily here on Radio Wales .
Remember 'dw i -I am - ‘dw i  from yesterday? Alwena 'dw i - I'm Alwena. If you add 'yn mynd', it means 'I'm going' - 'dw i'n mynd. Have a go at saying it yourself – 'Dw i'n mynd.v 
'To' is i, so 'dw i'n mynd i Aberystwyth means I'm going to Aberystwyth. 'Dw i'n mynd i Harlech - I'm going to Harlech. dw i'n mynd i siopa - I'm going shopping. 'Dw i'n mynd i Swyddfa'r Post - I'm going to the Post Office. 'Dw i'n mynd v  We’ll be eavesdropping on one of the members of our  family, the Lloyds, again today, and you'll hear Guto Lloyd telling Bethan, who works with him in the office, 'Dw i'n mynd i swyddfa John - I'm going to John's office.
'Dych chi'n mynd means 'you're going ', and if you put ble in front of it, you've got Where are you going? Ble 'dych chi'n mynd? Ble 'dych chi'n mynd? v
This is what Bethan asks John - Ble 'dych chi'n mynd? - adding 'amser cinio' - dinner time - amser ciniov. Ble 'dych chi’n mynd amser cinio?
Now, listen to Bethan and Guto talking in the office . Guto starts by telling Bethan he's going to John's office –‘dw i’n mynd i swyddfa John. See if you can work out where he's going after that at dinner time - amser cinio, and try to pick out 'dw i’n mynd and ble 'dych chi’n mynd in the conversation. Focus on these points for now and don't worry about not understanding every word - this is part of learning. 
Ready? … Here are Guto and Bethan. 
	
Guto	calling out(background officeFX)	Bethan … ‘dw i’n mynd i swyddfa John.	
Bethan		Iawn.  (afterthought) Guto … ble 'dych chi’n mynd amser cinio?	
Guto		I siopa.	
Bethan		Ble 'dych chi’n mynd i siopa?	
Guto	warily	… i Swyddfa'r Post, i Boots  a … ‘dw i’n mynd  i Marks & Spencers.	
Bethan		M & S? Da iawn  – wnewch….. ? 	
Guto	interrupting 	Sori Bethan. Dim amser.	
Bethan	sarcastically	(under her breath) Hwyl.	
Pres.	Did you manage to pick out the key phrases 'dw i’n mynd and ble 'dych chi’n mynd? And did you understand that Guto was going shopping - to the post office, to Boots and to M&S? I Swyddfa'r Post, i Boots  a … ‘dw i’n mynd  i Marks & Spencers.
To understand the whole conversation, you'll need to know some more words. Amser means 'time' - amser v; you've heard amser cinio - 'dinner time' and also dim amser which means no time - dim amser v.
Iawn and da iawn simply mean Good, Fine or OK. Iawn. Iawn? v
Listen to Guto and Bethan again.	
repeat of dialogue	
Pres.	Iawn. And that's all for now. Try to remember the key phrases and words you've heard –'dw i’n mynd … ble 'dych chi’n mynd? … Iawn. Say them out loud as often as you can. It's the best way to learn. And here’s the second of our top tips from Welsh learners who are already pretty fluent - here’s Sara Edwards with her advice for getting on with Welsh…
TAPE: Sara Edwards

Thanks Sara!  We’ll be back tomorrow - and don’t forget the omnibus edition of Catchphrase 2000 at ten on Sunday night. And look out for us on the internet  at www.bbc.co.uk.

Pres.	Helo. I’m Alwena Lamping,  welcome to today’s Catchphrase 2000 and Bore da! That's 'good morning - Bore da v 
Yesterday you heard 'Dw i'n mynd - I'm going and Ble 'dych chi'n mynd? - Where are you going? You learned that 'dych chi means 'you are' or 'are you'. Well, there's another word for 'you' when you're talking to family, children and close friends - ti. And when you use ti, the words that go with it, like 'are', are also different. To ask 'where are you going?' in this informal way, you say Ble rwyt ti’n mynd? …  Ble rwyt ti’n mynd?v Listen to the difference Ble 'dych chi'n mynd? Ble rwyt ti’n mynd? Ble 'dych chi'n mynd? Ble rwyt ti’n mynd?
Today, we're eavesdropping on the Lloyd family - Catrin, Guto and their 16 year old son Rhys  as they get ready to go out in the morning. Listen out for two new words:  heddiw - today - heddiwv and ysgol - school - ysgolv And I'm sure you can guess that helpu means to help. See if you can work out right at the end where Guto's going.

Now … listen as they all go their separate ways after breakfast.	
Rhys	calling as if upstairs. 	'Dw i'n mynd i'r ysgol.  Hwyl Mam.	
Catrin	obviously didn't hear first comment	Ble rwyt ti’n mynd Rhys?	
Rhys	impatiently	(sigh) I'r ysgol.	
Catrin		Iawn. Hwyl. 		
Rhys		Hwyl. 		fading, door closing	
Guto	absently	Ble rwyt ti’n mynd heddiw Catrin?	
Catrin		I'r ysgol.	
Guto	waking up	I'r ysgol?	
Catrin	Baby cries	I’r ysgol feithrin. ‘Dw i’n mynd i'r ysgol feithrin i helpu. (baby crying) Guto … 	
Guto	leaving in a hurry	Reit …  'dw i'n mynd i'r swyddfa. Hwyl, cariad.	
Pres.	So both Rhys and Catrin are going i'r ysgol - to school - i'r ysgolv In Welsh you say 'to the school' which is why it's i'r ysgol, not i. And Catrin is going i'r ysgol feithrin - to the nursery school - i helpu - to help. ‘Dw i’n mynd i'r ysgol feithrin i helpu. 
And Guto? He's going to the office – 'dw i'n mynd i'r swyddfa. He said Hwyl cariad to Catrin - the equivalent of 'Bye bye love. 
Listen again.	
repeat of dialogue	
Pres.	Make sure you try some of these phrases out with people - neighbours, friends, family - as soon as possible. Don’t worry about making mistakes or forgetting words. You'll learn much more quickly by trying things out now than waiting till you're word perfect.  
Try asking people you know where they're going today - Ble 'dych chi'n mynd heddiw?v You'll then build up your vocabulary of Welsh words as they tell you where they're going. 
Building up your vocabulary….. it’s the main thing to do as any successful learner will tell you. And we’re running advice this week from people who’ve already learned Welsh. Here’s Frank Hennessy with his top tip….

And  we’ll be back tomorrow - don’t forget our internet address - www.bbc.co.uk/catchphrase -  and of course there’s the omnibus edition of Catchphrase 2000 on Sunday night at ten.
Hwyl.

Pres  intro:(for omnibus) OK, we’ve just learned about  ‘dw i’n mynd  - I’m going and ble dych chi’n mynd - where are you going ….  Listen to the Lloyds again as they get ready to go out in the morning……Pres outro: Thanks Frank!

Pres.	Helo. Croeso - welcome back to Catchphrase 2,000 - the bitesized way to learn Welsh. I’mAlwena Lamping. And we’re eavesdropping on our family, the Lloyds again today: 
Heddiw - today - heddiw. And  Catrin  Lloyd is desperately looking for a babysitter for little  Llinos tomorrow - yfory, yforyv. She rings Glenys, her mother-in-law to find out if she's going out: 'dych chi'n mynd allan yfory? Mynd allan is to go out - mynd allanv 'Dych chi'n mynd allan yfory?v
As well as yfory, listen out for yn y bore - in the morning - yn y bore v and yn y p'nawn - in the afternoon - yn y p'nawn v. 
You'll also hear the Welsh words for hospital - ysbyty v, and game - gêm. v
Catrin talks to her 16 year old son Rhys as well. See if you can work out who's going where and  when. 

Listen as Catrin rings her mother in law first.	
Glenys	answering phone	Helo?	
Catrin	tentatively	Helo.  Shw mae? …y … 'dych chi'n mynd allan yfory?	
Glenys		Ydw.	
Catrin		Ble 'dych chi'n mynd?	
Glenys	thinking aloud	Wel … yn y bore 'dw i'n mynd i siopa … ac yn y p'nawn 'dw i'n mynd i'r ysbyty. 	
Catrin	Door opens- puts phone down	O... (aside at noisy entrance of son) Helo Rhys. Y … (breaks off quickly)  Hwyl Mam.
Rhys, ble rwyt ti'n mynd yfory?	
Rhys		Allan. 	
Catrin		Allan? Ble?	
Rhys	patiently	Yn y bore 'dw i'n mynd i helpu Mr Ellis yn yr ysgol … a 'dw i'n mynd i'r gêm yn y p'nawn. 	
Catrin	annoyed	O Rhys 'dw i .. (fadeout)	
Pres.	No joy from either of these two. When Catrin asked Glenys 'dych chi'n mynd allan yfory? - Are you going out tomorrow? she answered Ydw - yes - I am - ydw v In the morning she's going shopping - yn y bore 'dw i'n mynd i siopa, and in the afternoon she's going to the hospital - yn y p'nawn 'dw i'n mynd i'r ysbyty.
Did you understand that Rhys is going to help Mr Ellis in school in the morning and going to the match in the afternoon? Yn y bore 'dw i'n mynd i helpu Mr Ellis yn yr ysgol a 'dw i'n mynd i'r gêm yn y p'nawn. Quite a long sentence that one! Yn y bore 'dw i'n mynd i helpu Mr Ellis yn yr ysgol a 'dw i'n mynd i'r gêm yn y p'nawn. 
And did you notice how Catrin switched from chi when talking to her mother in law to ti when talking to her son? Now listen again to Glenys, Catrin and Rhys.	
repeat of conversation	
Pres.	Iawn!
Ydw is the word for yes in answer to questions starting with 'dych chi and wyt ti - but it's not the only word for 'yes' in Welsh and you'll come across some others later on. 
A top tip next on learning Welsh - this time from Assembly member Paul Flynn…

Pres. 

	Bore da. I’m Alwena Lamping and welcome to Catchphrase 2000. Now today we’re going back to visit the Lloyd family - Guto, Catrin, 16 year old Rhys and baby daughter Llinos. Catrin’s desperately looking for a babysitter for Llinos - yesterday she tried Guto’s mum. 
Guto can't babysit either … and I think he's feeling a bit guilty. He doesn't know Catrin's already tried his mother so he rings her up too. Listen to them talking on the phone and see if you can understand three things: where his mother's going today, when Guto's going to the pub – i'r dafarn, i'r dafarn v and where Catrin's going tomorrow.
Only two new words today other than i'r dafarn - 'nawr - now - 'nawr.v and brecwast - breakfast - brecwast.v	
Glenys	answering phone	Helo?	
Guto		Bore da Mam. Guto. … Mam, ble rwyt ti'n mynd heddiw?	
Glenys		Wel … 'dw i'n mynd i siopa yn y bore … ac yn y p'nawn 'dw i'n mynd i'r ysbyty.
Ble wyt ti'n mynd Guto?	
Guto		Wel, amser cinio 'dw i'n mynd i'r dafarn ac yn y pnawn 'dw i'n mynd i'r gêm.	
Glenys	doorbell rings and she has two conversations at the same time - puts phone down. 	Iawn. (doorbell) Iawn Margaret … (to phone) hwyl Guto, 'dw i'n mynd allan 'nawr.	
Guto		Wyt ti'n mynd allan yfory Catrin?	
Catrin		Yfory? … ydw. Yn y bore 'dw i'n mynd i siopa i Gaerdydd. 
A 'nawr  … amser brecwast.	
Pres.	How much did you understand? 
His mother's going shopping in the morning - 'dw i'n mynd i siopa yn y bore - and in the afternoon she's going to the hospital - yn y p'nawn 'dw i'n mynd i'r ysbyty.
Guto's going to the pub at dinner time - amser cinio 'dw i'n mynd i'r dafarn.
And tomorrow Catrin's going to Cardiff to do some shopping - 'dw i'n mynd i siopa i Gaerdydd.
She then announced it was breakfast time - amser brecwast. 
Listen again to their conversation.	
repeat of dialogue	
Pres	And that's all for the first week. You now know how to say hello to people - Helo, Shw mae, Bore da. And you know p'nawn is afternoon so I'm sure you can guess what P'nawn da is. Yes, that's right – good afternoon - P'nawn da.v Goodbye is Hwyl.
You can ask someone where they're going - Ble 'dych chi'n mynd or Ble wyt ti'n mynd? and tell someone where you're going: 'dw i'n mynd – 'dw i'n mynd i'r swyddfa, 'dw i'n mynd i Abertawe, 'dw i'n mynd i'r ysgol, 'dw i'n mynd i'r ysbyty or, simply, 'dw i'n mynd allan.
And you know the words for today - heddiw, tomorrow - yfory, lunch time - amser cinio and breakfast time - amser brecwast. 
You can hear all  this week’s programmes on the Catchphrase 2000 omnibus on Sunday at 1000 here on Radio Wales - and our internet address is  www.bbc.co.uk/catchphrase.
