Congratulations Ayashi, it's not an easy language to learn, not least because of the differences you've already discovered

As far as I can remember, ydych is the more formal / written word.
I did a crash course about 30 years ago but sadly rarely had a chance to chat with anyone. And I sounded very English! I can still remember lots of words but find it very difficult to put together a whole sentence!
However, most Welsh speakers are pleased to hear you try so do persevere (especially if you are enjoying the course).
