So, after 4 years and a half since I’ve (@aran actually did) started this topic and after 658 (this one would be 659th) posts written by many of us I can officially announce that I’ve finally finished the whole Southern material (apart from advsnced content) to disposal.
Today, after almost 7 years of more or less intensive learning, beating myself, changing my mindset, going for a various more or less “crazzy” challenges about which you can read more here, chatting to verious people (yn Nghymraeg of course), partly oversleeping some parts of some lessons, visiting Wales, attending bootcamp, welcoming some forum members to my country, and what’s more to it, I’ve finished the last lesson (Challenge 25) today while travelling to work and back home by bus.
There are still many things I am not familiar to use and I just can’t remember them properly but, hey! With the help of all of you, I did it!
Now here comes the time of so called “space repetitions” and more free(ish) style of learning with listening, watching, speaking , reading and doing more “crazy” things such as recent rap was, going for some other material to learn with but never abandoning this great course, company and community as long as you all want me to be here.
It might be I am quite confident (but not fluent even a bit) Welsh speaker but here’s a lot to learn yet. A lot of words, structures, rules to obay (yes those too a bit) etc.
However, this is not the end of the journey but the beginning of new one. I once said for me here’s only one language - Welsh - with variations reflecting the speach of South and North, so here I am … Beginning on the south I’ll take the traill to North until I reach it with all glory and shine …
Yes, as up from tomorrow I’m starting Northern material.
@MarilynHames’ two horses - Courses and Levels - joined by my South one, now they will be acompanioned with the North one. But my horse wouldn’t race but rather pace in steady strolls toward the goal I intend to reach … Gogled … here I come (if only virtually through the courses).
This for I won’t abandon this topic yet but rather post from time to time how the things are going, what is bothering me things being a bit different as they’re in the Southern version etc …
But, today I don’t plan anything else but celebrate!
Thank you all who virtually or literally crossed my path I’ve walked until now and to all those who might still travel alnong with me in the future.
Hwyl!
