c02p12 (s02e12) - Llythyren B (Letter B)
Today is the letter B and the number 12. 5 example b words, dyma / yma, dyna / yna. I cover recent mistakes I've made like using a diphthong in English as an example for a monopthong Welsh long E sound, a slight misunderstanding with the Welsh long A sound because common English example 'father' is not the same sound, and over thinking things by mutating Llythyren after 'Y'. I've learned a lot. This accompanies the website https://learnwelshfast.com.
