Amazon just apologized for the delay: itās still showing itās going to be delivered today - but it seemed quite unlikely since it doesnāt appear as shipped and I hadnāt even paid it! 
But now they say itās now available and Iāll receive an update about actual shipping date within one working day. Weāll see!

I knew that verbs at the start of a question need a soft mutation, but I assumed that it was a grammatical rule invented by someone just to be awkward. Then I read section 1 on the absent āaā. Well I never! I am sure that there will be many such moments.

It was indeed shipped and reached Italy the next day!
Tracking the shipping, looks like it has decided to take a little tour in Northern Italy in the weekend. 
But itās expected to reach Torino, and me, tomorrow.

Aaaandā¦here it is!
Havenāt even opened it yet, so canāt comment on that. But summer holidays is traditionally my time for studying Welsh, so looks like this will be main source for 2020!

just trying to grasp the āWediā¦ā section
I understand from elsewhere that you donāt use wediā¦followed by ers, Because ers already implies past tense. So Dwiā dysgu ers tri mis, not Dwi wedi dysgu ers tri mis (I have learnt for three months). I think thatās right.
Hereās the question
Can I say this?
Dwi di bod yn dysgu ers mis yn ol (I have been learning since a month ago)
and
Mae hi wedi 'i dysgu gyda SSiW ers 2019 (She has learnt with SSiW since 2019)
OK, so I could just say Dysgais iā¦ but I like to be awkward

Well John, I would say first of all that āsince a month agoā is not right in English, any more than in Welsh. I think we would say "I have been learning for a monthā, wouldnāt we? And in Welsh this would be Dw iān dysgu ers mis, although (addressing your first comments there) by influence with English you will very often hear (especially down South - I was not here, I did not say this) Dw i wedi bod yn dysgu ers mis. Either way, yn Ć“l not necessary.
Similarly for She has learnt with SSiW since 2019: Mae hiān dysgu gyda SSiW ers 2019, with again the wedi bod yn dysgu option available.
Does this help?
