The Welsh word for May is Mai. Anyone interested in learning the correct pronunciation ( or indeed in learning the Welsh language itself ) will find a multitude of excellent sites online to assist them with this. Some of these are listed on our homepage which can be found here.
The Easy Way to Learn Welsh History
If you were born Welsh or are of Welsh descent then there is something to celebrate ( or comemmorate ) every day of the year. If you are looking to learn Welsh history one day at a time or just looking for an excuse to raise a glass and celebrate on any particular day this section is for you. You will also find the birthdates of many famous Americans of Welsh descent on these pages. Though these pages are intended as a serious resource some of my co-contributors have a sense of humor. Consequently there are a few 'joke' items spread amongst the vast bulk of factual daily entries. We dont think you'll have too much trouble spotting them.
We will also be including the dates of many Welsh and American Welsh festivals, sporting events etc. Bookmark the Calendar for your daily dose of Welsh history ( and occasional nonsense )!

When I was eleven years old starting English lessons in the local grammar school, the first bit of advice offered to us by our new teacher was to buy the 'Pocket Oxford Dictionary' which he thought would be an invaluable aid. My advice to you Welsh learners, if it is possible, is to get hold of a brilliant little dictionary entitled 'Y Geiriadur Bach' published by Christopher Davies (Publishers) limited, Llandybie, Dyfed. I've carried it around with me over the years as it fits easily into the pocket and is a Welsh/Welsh as well as a Welsh/English - English/Welsh dictionary.
