At the other end of the world with nobody to speak Welsh to, I hang onto the idea that I do not need a reason. It is enough that the learning feels good. Learning Welsh gives my mind focus at a time when the distraction of my work collapsing around me is distressing. And my ancestors spoke it.

I want to be a Welsh speaker because Ive lived in Wales all my life and its ridiculous that I cant speak more than I do - I do already speak a small amount. Also, Ive a couple of friends (who I only see once or twice a year) for whom Welsh is their first language, and it`s embarrassing that they have to switch to English to include me in the conversation.

Well I want to become a Welsh speaker because my biological farther was North Walian, and I would like to learn the language. I am also interested in Welsh culture and history. (Also just a quick question, I did not get invited to Slack via email - Is this normal)

Hi, Johnnie. If you asked for an invitation to join the Welsh Speaking Practice group on Slack, (by e-mailing admin@saysomethingin.com), and you didnāt get a reply, then yes, thereās been a glitch. Please e-mail again!
I want to be a Welsh speaker for many reasons: because I am interested in languages; because Welsh sounds so beautiful; because it is going to be a real challenge to me. I was sucked in by the taster and Iām finding the SaySomethingIn method really exciting and the challenges have brightened up a really tough year. I am looking forward to visiting Wales when things get better and having a go.

*I want to be a Welsh speaker because, after many years living and working outside of Wales Iāve finally retired back home, and now have the time learn my native language.
Once I have mastered āentryā level Welsh with SSIW I hope and enjoy rediscovering our proud history and culture through its language!

I want to be a Welsh speaker because my father and his family spoke Welsh and I loved hearing Welsh being spoken in our corner shop when I was a child.
I hope to make myself understood by fluent Welsh speakers and learners like myself.
