Welsh audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "welsh" — pronounced /welʃ/, working as an adjective, a noun, and, informally, a verb.
Narrator: As an adjective, Welsh means relating to Wales, its people, or its language. As a noun, Welsh is that Celtic language itself.
Narrator: When it refers to the country, people, or language, it is always capitalised: Welsh hills, a Welsh accent, speaking Welsh.
Narrator: The word comes from an old Germanic term meaning "foreigner", used long ago by Anglo-Saxons for the Celtic Britons.
Narrator: Over centuries it settled into the proud national name for the people and language of Wales.
Narrator: There's also an informal lowercase verb, "to welsh on", meaning to fail to pay a debt or keep a promise.
Narrator: That slang sense is considered old-fashioned and can cause offence, so it's best used with real care, or avoided.
Narrator: In tone the national sense is neutral and proud; the slang verb is informal and frowned upon today.
Narrator: So remember: Welsh, capitalised, means of Wales and its language — a proud word for a proud nation.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: We spent the week in Wales, and I loved hearing Welsh spoken everywhere.
Speaker B: The Welsh language? It's beautiful, isn't it — and so musical.
Speaker A: Exactly. The signs were all in Welsh and English, side by side.
Speaker B: That's the proper use — Welsh, capitalised, for the country and its language.
Speaker A: Right. We met some lovely Welsh people on the coast path too.
Speaker B: Good — "Welsh" as an adjective describes anything from Wales.
Speaker A: There's that old slang "to welsh on a bet", though, isn't there?
Speaker B: Yes, but that's dated and can offend — best to say "back out" instead.
Speaker A: Close words? "Cymric" is a formal term; "British" is broader, covering the whole island.
Speaker B: Exactly — Welsh is specific to Wales and its proud heritage.
Speaker A: So I'd say "a Welsh choir" or "learning Welsh" with a capital W.
Speaker B: Perfect — respectful, clear, and properly capitalised.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "Welsh" as a clear keyword for building language and localisation features with AI.
Speaker A: So "Welsh" tells the AI I want to support the Welsh language?
Speaker B: Exactly. For a bilingual site, you'd prompt:
Prompt: Build a bilingual page that shows all text in both Welsh and English, with a clear language toggle, tidy layout, and a calm colour theme that reads well in both.
Speaker B: The word "Welsh" tells the model exactly which language to add.
Speaker A: Handy. What about storing translations?
Speaker B: Here's a schema prompt:
Prompt: Design a database schema for translations, storing each phrase with an English and a Welsh version, plus a key and a category, with clear relations and indexes.
Speaker A: So both languages stay in sync. And the toggle?
Speaker B: Keep it simple:
Prompt: Add a language switch that flips the whole app between Welsh and English instantly, remembering the user's choice and clearly showing which language is active.
Speaker A: I like how inclusive that feels.
Speaker B: For a full build, stay minimal:
Prompt: Build a small tourism app for Wales with full Welsh and English support: a home page, a places list, and a single place view, all under one navigation bar.
Speaker A: Could it check my translations are complete?
Speaker B: Yes:
Prompt: Review my translation file and list any English phrases that are missing a Welsh version, so I can be sure both languages are fully covered.
Speaker A: So "Welsh" keeps every prompt focused on proper language support.
Speaker B: Exactly — one clear word that builds inclusive, bilingual software.
