Great! thanks for all the replies and the welcome. Good to join the group!
Well, I started slowly about a year ago but started Level 2 last August and since then have been doing a bit every day. I suppose I spend a couple of weeks on each lesson

That sounds as though you might be aiming at a level of control of each individual session that you don’t need - you might find it an interesting exercise to go the rest of the way through Level 2 without repetitions, and see how that works for you - worst case scenario, you can always repeat on a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 model instead of 1111,2222,3333,4444…

I agree with you that to get an overview of the whole level is a good idea and I do apply that in some other spheres of learning.
At the moment I am happy plodding along, with my cup of tea. I am in a Welsh speaking area and I do get some practice.
Without a doubt this is the best course I have been on.

Probably the most important thing of all (with any course) is that you’re happy enough with whatever approach you take to keep on taking it…
I always flag up the options for people who perhaps haven’t considered them - including people reading the thread…

Helo.
Welcome to the forum @GIR-W! I’m always so happy to say welcome to those who newly join us.
Thank you @henddraig.
And, yes, I tend to help if/when I can. Maybe the most useful things you might find regarding techy and useful stuff of this forum is thread Really useful “how to” stuff and other great posts where you can find the list of things you can do and how you can do them on the forum (usage of the forum) and also the list of some interesting and learning aiding stuff from reading, practicing, watching etc, etc. If you don’t find the answer there, you are of course always welcome to ask a question and here is always someone to come your way answering it.
Tole je bilo pa prijetno presenečenje! Hvala! (This was a pleasant surprise! Thank you!)
And Graham … I won’t answer your original question of this thread as it was already answered. I’ll just say Llongyfarchiadau! on L2 C15 … Just two more Challenges and you’d be where I stopped doing Level 2 approximately a year ago. Reminds me I have to continue.
I don’t recall either but … if Graham is doing southern version then it might be “taw” in deed as @louis says.

With ‘mai dyna’r peth gorau’? Mai. There’s no difference at all in sound, so not too much need to worry about it.

I totally missed it as a new word! I presumed ‘dyna’r’ as ‘that’ from ‘the there’ and mae meaning is. I dread to think what else I have totally misinterpreted!

Very unlikely to be anything important - you could spend your entire time saying ‘dyma’r’ instead of ‘dyna’r’ and people would either not notice or understand anyway.
Yes … “dyma” is “mine” too.
Let’s just check, dyma - here, yna - there.
dyma’r - this is, dyna’r - that’s
Yes/no?
Well, close enough - but it’s a little more sort of dyma’r = here is/this is, dyna’r = there is/that is…

Oh, that’s what I thought I remembered but when I tried looking it up it seemed different! Score one for my old brain! Yay!

Got to the end of Level 2 yesterday on the 1,2,3,4 model and returned this morning to Challenge 15 and it was much easier.
Thanks for the tip @aran - should have listened to you straight away!

Phew! Coming up for air. Have just finished challenge 17. Have been going at it now for 18 months, nearly every morning from 6.30 to 7.
Looking back what a well designed course this is.
Been reading other forums and notice @aran you are involved with the manx language too. Are you involved with all the celtic languages and do you speak other celtic languages?
My next step is to find someone willing to converse with me for say half an hour a week . Might even join in on skype in the autumn. But be warned I have got one humdinger of a stutter which I have had for 72 years!
Starting challenge 18 tomorrow!

I have these two absolutely separate and unconfused in my head — except in “Dyna blant i chi”, where I keep saying “dyma” by mistake. “Here are some children for you.” (“Oh, I couldn’t possibly. Well, alright, maybe just one…”)

We’ve been doing stuff with Cornish and Manx - I speak a very little Manx, and that’s it for now - although I’m looking forward to getting further with it, and to building courses for Irish and Scottish Gaelic as well…
Good luck with Skype!
