In addition to adjusting to some of the accents we encountered in the UK, there was the language in Wales. This little corner of the UK has been undergoing a resurgence in the popularity of the Welsh language. Every road sign we saw was in both English and Welsh.
This poster was seen in a small forestry park on the island of Anglesea. There was an English version, but it wasn't nearly as interesting.
We didn't learn too much about how to pronounce words in Welsh, although after I got home I did find a website that went into many of the finer details. It goes without saying that many words aren't pronounced the way you'd expect.
