Welsh Duolingo Fails That Show Mistakes Are No Big Deal
—
by
Lately, I have been interested in portraying experiences of our Welsh community when attempting to improve their Welsh language skills. This is when I came across the Duolingo Welsh Learners group—that reminds people to ‘keep calm and speak Welsh.’ Apparently, the group claims that since Welsh Duolingo was written and maintained by a small group of unpaid volunteers, the aim is to support users of Welsh course. People here share anything from their experiences, suggestions, and corrections, which I believe are fun and easy ways to add context to your learning.
#1. An odd kind of encouragement to the Welsh learners.
I believe it says. “Start all conversations in Welsh”, and is an odd kind of encouragement to Welsh learners”
#2. Welsh indication to puff of wind.
#3. If it makes one smile…
#4. Welsh translation can differ for one’s interpretation.
#5. But how can anyone deny coffee?
Here’s what readers have to say…and I agree with them.
”Parsnip flavoured coffee!”
”Served by Owen ”
”So it’s a mercy ‘no,’ I see”

#5. I don’t blame her.
I have 130427 XP points but now stuck doing the same lessons every day.
Stuff your pannas Owen I’m off!”
#6. Seen in Stetchworth in the wilds of Cambridgeshire today!
Readers reply….
”Cadw can also mean “protect” and cynnal can mean “nurture”. Direct translation of two separate languages are full of potholes… Nice company car though – room for the family and dogs :-)”
#7. Teaching her kid *nice* words.
I immediately answered “a carrot”.
He was very confused. Obviously I explained the slang and why it’s not a very nice word. This confused him more “but mama why did (insert cartoon character) call (other character) a carrot?”
#8. Oops..Predictive texts can be tricky sometimes.
#9. That confusion in the head..lol.
My brain keeps saying “N gweli des kah?” and I know the “des kah” part is Japanese which I also don’t speak lol 😅
Readers cross check with Duolingo and warn others to be careful.
“Pandoskeletons … I love the new word 🤣”
“I have a mental image of the pandoskeletons. They’re dancing around a cuppa in a state of pandemonium.”
#10. Can’t be only her.
She said what she said.
#11. Duolingo and its new obsession.
Readers comment:
“Me neither!”
”Don’t worry, It’s what you do with it that counts…”
”I have been called some choice words for sure but nope, never a horse either lol.”
#12. Huh..?
#13. Tesco’s fav Welsh word.
#14. Promises more than it can deliver.
#15. Been there.
