“We asked our Welsh teacher, Mr Llewellyn 鈥� who is young, to tell us the Welsh sex words. The Welsh word for sex is 鈥榬hyw鈥�. It sounds like coughing. He said that, in general, Welsh-speakers use English words. When pressed, he gave us a couple of examples to show us why this might be. 鈥楲lawes goch鈥� means 鈥榬ed sleeve鈥�. 鈥楥oes fach鈥� means 鈥榮mall leg鈥�. The phrase would be: 鈥楶ut your small leg in my red sleeve鈥�.”

“In Wales, they love with abandon.
When a Welsh person loves you,
you'll finally know your potential.
They are different from the Americans,
who are precarious with their love.
They are different from the English,
who are reserved even when you stand
in front of them, naked,
handing them your heart.
The English give you their love in cups:
here, you鈥檝e been good. drink another glass.
But the Welsh, they drown you
in an ocean of love.
You have their attention, their
consideration. You have all of them.
They aren鈥檛 even careful to keep any
for themselves. It seems to me
that only the Welsh know how to love,
how to make someone feel loved.
Because when a Welsh person loves you,
you鈥檒l finally know how it feels
to belong to poetry.”

“Siarad Cymraeg?" said Old Shacob.
"He wants to know if you speak Welsh," said the surveyor.
"NO!" yelled the official at the old man before him.
"Tamn it all; his language, man!" shouted Dan. "What you expect in Wales - Chinese, or what?!”
