Perhaps, but Welsh is far more cool! 

My wife and I spent a Christmas in Cardiff a few years back and fell in
love with the place. We're planning another holiday next year to see
more of the country. I actually bought a self study language kit
recently as well so your timing is perfect! ;)

This is getting off topic a little but for the curious:

Well "Ar" is like you'd expect "Maw" is short for "Mawrth" and I guess
"Maw" alone would be pronounced like Chairman Mao, not that people would
do that anymore than English speakers generally say "Tue 4".

Ysgrifennodd [same root as English 'scribe']

Y is usually silent in this case but if not its a "uh!" sound

scree [like the piles of rock] ven [like a south african trying to say
van] oth (but the buzzy 'th' in this and that not the hissy 'th' in
think - so like the "oth" in bother not the "oth" in both)

and if you'd like to know more

OTOH I suspect Spanish is probably more useful in most of the world.
