I’ve restarted learning SSiW again after a break. Just wondering if, and how the 80% rule applies. I often use the pause button for remembering what Aran said - not the Welsh itself! It also stops me panicking about saying the Welsh in time before Catrin. I have cerebral palsy which makes my muscles tense up especially if doing anything in a hurry… so I use pause button to keep it fun. What would be the 80% mark for me?
I mostly remember the Welsh except I tend to leave out Beth ie What when Aran uses long sentences usually because I forgot what Aran said!
I did Southern Welsh on the old courses, but this time I am I finding the Northern pronounciation easier to understand.
@aran will help you more than I, but I would think that whatever is easiest and most comfortable is best! It isn’t necessary to get 80% right, that was outdated advice, but you may prefer to do Challenges a bit at a time or ???
My attitude is always that no two people learn the same way. I regard ‘rules’ as guidelines, and everyone needs to recognise how to use them. ‘80%’ may well be a useful index for some people, just as ‘needing to repeat a lesson once or twice’ may be good for some and not for others, regardless of how much has sunk in. Know thyself!
Yes, what the others have said - if the pause button is a necessary part of it for you, then as long as you’re managing to say something most of the time, I wouldn’t worry too much about how often it’s ‘right’…
