Not surprisingly, since the two languages were the same 3,000 years ago, there are many words (nearly) in common but they are not mutually intelligible nowadays.
e.g. mor (Gaelic) = mawr (Welsh) = big
beag = bach = small
taigh = ty = house
cu = ci = dog
abhain = afon = river
and so on. Of course, your Grandfather might have picked up some Welsh quite quickly.
