    You and me are going to get along just fine.

    Eh, speakership amongst the younger generation is actually increasing, just not in the industrial Southern regions. Even my grandparents' place in Ystradfellte is Anglophone. But I hear Ystradgynlais and other areas are Welsh-speaking.

    Go to Snowdonia, speak it every day, learn it by immersion.

    You'll have to make do with living in a very small village though. The larger towns are primarily English speaking. Lloegyr ym bath.

    There isn't a very big difference, but enough to be noticed. All in all the southern dialect is tad simpler than the northern variation, mainly becasue it is the north that holds the most well-preserved variation of the Welsh language. It is also worth mentioning that it is the southern dialect which is considered "standard Welsh" and is therefore used in media.
