Susie Dent Eyes Welsh Language Mastery

Susie Dent, a familiar face from Countdown, has expressed a strong desire to learn the Welsh language. Although fluent in English, German, French, and Spanish, with a good command of Finnish, Dent considers learning Welsh a significant personal goal. She described the language as having a special and evocative quality, shaped by hopefulness.

During a radio interview, Dent discussed her fascination with Welsh words. She mentioned 'pengwin' (penguin) and 'hiraeth,' a term often described as wistful. Dent also highlighted the word 'cwtch,' explaining its meaning extends beyond a simple hug to encompass safety and refuge, also referring to a cubbyhole.
