Father and son Wayne and Connagh Howard are Nia's guests on this episode. Wayne talks about the conversation with his friend that led to him and his wife sending Connagh and his sister to Cylch Meithrin - and which, for Wayne, started a 28-year love affair with the Welsh language. Connagh, a 2020 Love Island contestant, talks about why he felt it was important that he used his Welsh on primetime TV to help raise its profile. Listening along to the interview is Dr Enlli Thomas of Bangor University, who gives her professional insight into the benefits of language learning and the mysteries of "code-switching".

Y Tad a'r mab Wayne a Connagh Howard yw gwestai Nia ar y bennod hon. Cawn glywed sut waneth sgwrs gyda ffrind ysbrydoli Wayne a'i wraig i anfon y plant i'r Cylch Meithrin - a sut, i Wayne, roedd hyn yn ddechrau siwrne gariad 28 mlynedd gyda'r iaith Gymraeg. Yn un o gystadleuwyr 'Love Island' yn 2020, mae Connagh yn esbonio pam ei fod mor angerddol am y Gymraeg a sut roedd yn benderfynnol o ddefnyddio'i broffil ar y rhaglen i hybu a hyrwyddo'r iaith. Yn gwrando gyda Nia, mae Dr Enlli Thomas o Brifysgol Bangor, sy'n rhannu ei gwybodaeth broffesiynnol am y buddion o ddysgu iaith a'r rhyfeddodau o amgylch "code - switching".
