Well-known Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney welcomes you to the National Eisteddfod 2005 in Wrecsam - in Welsh!
Maxine Hughes, leader of Wales and the World this year, taught the American to record the welcome for a short video which has been published on social media websites.
With Maxine's support, Rob, who has declared his full support for the Welsh language with his friend Ryan Reynolds, since the start of their ownership of Wrexham football club at the beginning of the decade, pronounces the welcome clearly.
Maxine praises him for his efforts and especially so when he shortens the word Eisteddfod to 'Steddfod.
"That's how we say Eisteddfod in North Wales where I come from," he told him.
Maxine, who is from the Conwy area but now lives in Washington, the capital of the United States, will address the audience as the leader of Wales and the World during the Cymanfa Ganu on Sunday night. She will also take part in leading other sessions on the Maes during the week.
