Hi Ros, and a very warm welcome to the forum!
Itās going to be great to hear how the journey goes for you - itās often particularly entertaining when people have got a fair bit of passive Welsh to begin withā¦
Lots of people use Duolingo and SSiW - some have a preference, others see it as a horses for courses kind of thing - so donāt worry, however you choose to go will be goodā¦
North or south⦠I donāt think it matters in terms of fitting with Duolingo, itās more about you and how you feel⦠your sense of belonging to the south inclines me to think thatās the best way forward for you, because youāll adapt to northernisms easily enough if you find yourself living up here (you can also do selected challenges from the northern course, and the northern listening work, to help you adapt when necessary)ā¦
Keep us posted on how it goes! And whereās your mother? Catrin and I are just outside Carmel, Stine is in Penygroes, Beca is in Llanrug, so āfoot of Snowdonā is pretty much SSiW territoryā¦
