So, I’ve been mostly unemployed and bored this week, so I decided to try to do something (hopefully) helpful for new learners.
Having obtained permission from Aran and Tatjana, I would like to collect here some links to the most useful forum threads, so our newcomers can have a look here instead of going through all the numerous threads on the forum. I would be very grateful for any help. Maybe someone remembers a good discussion related to some particular grammar/vocabulary issues? I will be adding new links when new interesting threads appear (or when I get to the old ones)

Wow Stella, da iawn!
This came at just the perfect time for me, and I am sure countless others. Do you read minds? Nah… Or else we would not need to say anything–just think in Welsh. Of course ‘in my mind’ I have a convincing accent, have marvellous discussions, and… Oh, but miss the personal touch and the joy of true conversation and friendship. You are offering one of the keys to that for us–diolch yn fawr!

Diolch yn fawr for your kind words, Marilyn! I’m glad it will be of some help.
Oh, that’s something that I’m very familiar with:) I speak Welsh, English, Italian and French splendidly if my mind! Whereas in real life I have something that could be described as “the most perfect accent without the slightest English”
Would you find it helpful to see something else in this index? Links to apps, maybe? If you think of something, write it here and I’m sure I can find the discussions related to what you need. I love categorizing:) I was a librarian in my early twenties.

@stella I’ve added your post into upper index despite it’s in the same topic. Go and have alook if you like it and if it’s useful. So @aran would you inspect it too, please. I always like to know what “head” of your family thinks.
Diolch yn fawr iawn!

@stella I’ve seen threads about Welsh etymology, poetry etc, in your list, but not the one about Welsh music. So you might want to add this too.
