Caru Canu
Learn Welsh through singing
Jac Y Do
The video 'Jac Y Do' is all about introducing the Welsh language to young children through music. I wanted to make this video fun and interactive, so I've added some Makaton actions for the children to follow along too. Whenever I talk, I say something in Welsh and then I translate it to English for any non-Welsh speakers to understand. Also, when I’m singing, I’ve created English subtitles, so you know what the song is about.
​
I hope you enjoy the video. If you do, it’d be great to hear from you - let me what you liked/didn’t like and if you’d like to see more.

If you, do it’d be great to hear from you let me what you liked/didn’t like and if you’d like to see more. Mae'r fideo 'Jac Y Do' yn ymwneud â chyflwyno'r Gymraeg i blant bach trwy gerddoriaeth. Roeddwn i eisiau gwneud y fideo hwn yn hwyl ac yn rhyngweithiol, felly rwyf wedi ychwanegu rhai actionau Makaton i'r plant i dilyn efo. Gobeithio y byddwch chi'n mwynhau'r fideo. Os oeddwch chi wedi joio, fyddai'n neis i clywed gennych chi, gadewch i mi wybod beth oeddech chi'n hoffi/ddim yn hoffi ac os hoffech chi weld mwy. FfxEducation

FFION!!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOO good.
I love the subtitles in Welsh and English and the way you switch between Welsh and English is flawless. The pictures also help young children with the association of the song. The only improvement is the quality of the video and audio.
It's fantastic! I'd show that to my daughter.

The video is great. You speak loudly and clearly, and it's a lovely way of learning Welsh - singing traditional songs while also signing.

This is an extremely valuable resource for young children and their parents who are learning to speak Welsh. Ffion presents the video in a convenient and easy to understand manner and the use of makaton language ensures that it is interactive. I am confident that this special video will be of great help to children around the world who want to learn Welsh. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter already!!
