About Me

Croeso i'r lle 'da fi.Dw i'n byw yn Traeth Miami, a gyda fy ffrindiau "Marc Miami" ydw i.Ar y pryd, dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg ym Mhrifysgol Morgannwg ym Mhontypridd, ar gymoedd Rhondda-Cynon-Taf. Dw i'n myfyrio gweddu doctwr ffilm (mae'n well 'da fi ffilmiau cyfoes cymraeg!) Dw i'n dod o'r Ohio yn wreiddiol o'r gwladfa fach Cymreig, o'r enw Youngstown, Ohio. Pan oeddwn i'n ifanc yn y gartref, roedd fy hen mam-gu'n arfer siarad a'n canu yng Ghymraeg.Roedd fy deulu gwerin y capel Annibynnol. Ar hyn o bryd, dw i'n byw gyda fy Mhartner Eidalig i Gymru. Mae ein ty ni ar ben y bryn ar bentre bach Trefforest. Roedden i'n gweithio fel darlithydd astudiaeth ffilm. Dw i'n wedi blino yn aml iawn achos dw i'n gweithio a studio bob amser. Dw i'n gweld fy ffrindiau a fy mam yn Florida bimp gwaith y flwyddyn. Mae'n well 'da fi ffloi tros y Mor Iwerydd! Hwyl am y tro!

I'd like to meet:

Vorrei incontrare i altri studenti dell'Italiano e dello Gallese. (Farei meglio a studiare la grammatica italiana di piu). Sono avanzato con lentezza parlare questa lingua, ma continuo provare ogni giorno. / Ho visitato Roma due volte e siamo restati anchenoi alla spiaggia in Molise nella citta se chiama Termoli.Spero tornare presto.L'anno scorso ho visitato la Praga e Irelande di Nord.Ero due volte alla festa di film al Karlovy Vary.Mi piace bene le montane della Bohemia e la citta di Belfast. La spiaggia di Portrush e' la mia favorita' nell'Irelande di Nord. Sono salito al somma dello precipizio vedere il castello Dunluce (questo posto e' infestato dai fantasmi!) Sono tanti italiani nello nostro vicino in Miami Beach.E' possibile practicare sempre la lingua. Pero' loro preferiscono parlare lo spagnolo a Miami.Fa bene sempre a Miami, e mi manchi troppo la mia piscina bella alla mia casa carissima.Ragazzi miei, potete farmi un favore quando facciamo le conversazioni fra noi?Usate le frasi semplicci, grazie mille.

Ça me plaît rencontrer les uns francophonies. J’ai m’enseigné moi-même le français quand j’ai eu des camarades de chambre francais à l’université aux États Unis. De temps en temps, j’ai commencé à comprendre nos conversations entre nous. Après plus que dix-huit années, nous avons continués nos amitiés tout d’abord avec les lettres, et puis avecs les conversations téléphoniques, et pour finir sur l’Internet. (Certaines de mes anciennes camarades de chambre sont restées mes meilleurs amis (comme ma chère Melissa K. ou mon ami David W. ou Steve T. ou Kent D., etc.), d’autres non — C’est mon avis qu’il y montre la nature arrogante et stupide des gens déjà meilleurs-oubliés (comme les autres, qui je ne peût pas pour mentionner. Alors, c’est la vie, n’est-ce pas?)J’envie visiter à Paris et la belle France, mais c’était impossible pendant mes études à cause de mes droits and mes obligations. En verité, je suis l’étudiant, et comme les autres, avais toujours le crise d’argent! J’ai faît les plannifiés voyager dans le continent de l’Europe après quelle année sur finir mon diplôme comme ‘Docteur des Études du Film.’ C’est mon espèrance, pour faire le deuxième lune de miel avec mon petit à Paris, et grace à Dieu, lui m’a dit le même chose (nous sommes les grands romantiques, n’est-ce pas?) Actuellement, je droit m’amuser essayer former les phrases pour mes amis français qui restent ici en Galles, et pour les Gallois, aux moins, ceux qui voudrait apprendre le langue comme moi! A toutes telles heures, mes amis!
