For those that think I said only 1% speak Welsh. No. That’s not what I said. when I said 99% of people speak English, that doesn’t mean only 1% speak Welsh. It means that 99% of the people can speak and understand English. Believe it or not, some people can speak multiple languages so just because most people speak and understand English in Wales, doesn’t mean they can’t speak Welsh. Didn’t think I would have to explain that, but next time I’ll be sure to elaborate 🤦🏽‍♂️

hi James, interesting video especially them trying the welsh language lol! America could have been a welsh speaking country because 5 of the founding fathers were welsh who signed the declaration of independence, wanted to get away from England and everything English, and at your national monument in Washington at about the 240 foot level there's an inscription in stone that reads in welsh, Fy laith, Fy ngwlad, Fy Nghenedl, cymru am byth ( my language, my country, my nation, wales forever. so your mother tongue could have gone either way!

Thank you for trying to put Wales on the map. I'm Welsh through and through and really appreciate it when people want to learn about our existence. Strong and open hearted

Don’t be too discouraged. As a Welsh person, took me 7 years to learn the long place name and I still don’t have the ‘sound effects’ down 😂 good effort

I am from Wales and enjoyed this very much! Well done to everyone for giving it a go!

Great video, thanks from the people of Wales👍

Hi James, Well done on your video. It's really nice to see our little country being promoted and brought into the light. I always feel proud when I travel, telling people that I'm Welsh but it does often lead to blank looks especially when I'm in America.

Hey G, I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it! Last year when I was traveling around the U.K. I planned on visiting Wales. But there was no place I could stay because Covid. I nearly made it to Wales, hopefully one day I can make it there and get a good feel of what Wales has to offer!

Diolch man, love watching anything about my home, thanks for making this, great job🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥰😍

I loved this vid it was so funny. As I am from wales it was very interesting to see some of the answers. The last question was hilarious as in my welsh primary school we had to learn this name off by heart and I can still remember it now Thanks for promoting our very small but very special country ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As a Welsh man i really enjoyed watching this so well done everyone who took part.

This was actually super wholesome. Most of the time Americans don't look great in these videos but I like that you didn't try to make them look stupid and just showed us what they do know. I was impressed most of them knew Wales is in the UK and knew roughly where that was on a map! I love that the one girl pointed to New South Wales in Australia and the girl who randomly guessed almost everything right about Wales 😂

That was great fun, and intersting too. Some of the interviewees mad a pretty brave attempt at Llanfair......pg! I love the two adorable girls at the start!! xx They can come to Wales just any time!!

I’m in Pembrokeshire, west Wales and thought the video was great! Hope they went and discovered more... well done on trying to pronounce the longest name too. That was funny! They’re all welcome here when they can get here 👍😷

South west wales is a pretty cool place

I love Wales. I'm from England; just over the bridge, but spent a lot of time in Wales as a kid. We used to holiday in a little bay called Parrog in Pembrokeshire every summer. It's a beautiful country and most people are very warm and friendly (even to the English). Also, when I was at school, half of my teachers were Welsh. Many used to travel over the bridge to teach, or moved over for the work. The first Severn bridge was completed when my parents were kids. It transformed Bristol. Nowadays, there are thousands of Welsh people living and working this side of the bridge, and vice-versa. Also, for those who don't know the meaning of the long town name....."Literally translated, the long form of the name means: "[The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll) of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near to [lit. "over against"] (go ger) the fierce whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (-ogo[f] goch)"."

Stumbled across this video. Being a Welshman who now lives in Belgium (from one small country to another) it was funny to watch. Hope you make more videos like this soon, James!

Great video

Kudos to everyone having a go at the place names and am surprised no one said where are the vowels ;) It's lovely that people are slowly realising that there are THREE countries in Great Britain ;) (Four in the United Kingdom!) - Cymru am byth!

Very nice Vid! I'm pleased that they all 'had a go' at the place names. The funny thing is that after you've learnt how to say some of the letters like 'LL' and 'CH' , Welsh is easy to say as it's almost completely phonetic, (and yes, I can say 'LlanfairPwll.............. from memory! )

Only the North speak the Welsh language I believe, and I visited Rhyl once and everyone sounded like they were from Liverpool which I know is not too far over the border. My 3x great grandparents were from Anglesey and Denbighshire so i am 17% Welsh. And Wales is a beautiful little country

Thanks just highlighting Wales….you could ask me the same questions about other small nations I would probably be clueless so fair play to some of those for great answers
