Just sharing this as similar stories have been a real inspiration to me in the past…
Felly…nes i gael cyfle i defnyddio ychydig o gymraeg yn Llangollen wythnos diwethaf… Nes i wedi synnu achos on i’n meddwl na fydd lot o gymraeg yn Llongollen. Mae dau siop yn y ganol y dref ble maen nhw’n siarad cymraeg - y cigydd fawr a’r siop gwniadwaith. Oedd y dyn yn y siop gwniadwaith yn neis iawn - oedd e’n helpu fi gyda geiriau newydd. Naeth siarad gyda fe yn profiad hapus iawn iawn! :party:
Llongyfarchiadau, Nobott. That first step is a massive one, but if the standard of your written Welsh is anything to go by, your first speaking experience was definitely due!
Yup, what Iestyn says. Llongyfarchiadau mawr iawn iawn! :seren:
Well done! And I have just learned a new word. Gwniadwaith. Dressmaker? Needle worker? I’m off to look it up now. 
Da iawn ti! Llongyfarchiadau on having your first sgwrs yn Gymraeg in Wales. Excellently told too. Onwards and upwards to the next one!
Diolch pawb! Dw i ddim yn gallu aros am y tro nesa!
Gwniadwaith - needlework - I did have to look that one up myself!
So, are a lot of Welsh words formed that way, similar to English, with -work -waith on the end?
woodwork? Metalwork? Artwork? … must be others. Could be a useful general hint, if not quite “rule”.
Mike: So, are a lot of Welsh words formed that way, similar to English, with -work -waith on the end?
I remember looking for collage and finding out that it was gludwaith (glue-work). I also remember mosaic being brithwaith (speckled-work). As you say, there’s loads, although it seems that a lot of them are not literal translations.
And in Llangollen, anifailwedi’istwffiowaith … Might have made that up
I instantly though “Taxidermy”
Tacsidermi
So, we’re doing multi-lingual puns now is it? Cwl!
Why not? like Kim hints, Llangollen and tacsidermi are synonymous, I’d hesitate to walk my dog past that shop, ofnadwy
When I were a lad that shop used to be a sweet shop we’d call “mouldy Joe’s”. I went to school just up the hill from there in Ysgol Dinas Brân. Ah, the memories. 
Did you come out stuffed with sweets?
