The Welsh TV station S4C have released a 5 minute short as part of their #Fi series looking at Young People and the activities they do.
Available on iPlayer, S4C and YouTube.
The youtube subtitles start well!
Interesting that they found someone to deliver the brief in Welsh, never seen that before and that’s our AEF
The subtitles are awful but the actual content is pretty good for the audience it’s aimed at, although the RN pilot probably won’t be chuffed being called a RAF pilot haha.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this on Welsh-language TV so I think its a fantastic move.
I’m all for the Welsh keeping their language going strong but 90% Welsh with 10% English
What’s the critique here?
It’s a piece filmed explicitly for Welsh-language TV at the only Welsh AEF featuring a Welsh speaking cadet from a South Wales squadron.
If it’s the cadet’s language yes it does mix languages but that’s hardly unusual for Welsh speakers. Language is a dynamic thing and many Welsh speakers don’t come from first-language Welsh families so will mix and match as they go. This is incredibly common, especially in South Wales.
Pretty sure you just copied and pasted Wikipedia?
I know what S4C is I don’t need details and numbers with names of every S4C employee. I was talking bout the Welsh to English…“How’s that feel, yes that’s much better thank you…you sure? Yeah Awesome” Not being Welsh myself I didn’t know they used both languages when they spoke.
That’s quite common with people who are bilingual, I know some Irish speakers who are the same.
