A little background before I ask my question. If you don’t want to read it all skip to the end where I will ask my question.
I have been wanting to learn Welsh for several years now. I think I originally started using the old course. However, at the time I was in the middle of learning Scottish Gaelic and hadn’t quite reached a level where I felt I could start I new language without impacting my Gaelic learning. After I become conversationally fluent in Gaelic I gave Welsh another go. I think I made it up to Challenge 14 in the new course. Once again I had to stop because I was looking to attend University in Germany. So I needed to switch my attention to German as the programs were only taught in that language. The whole time the itch to learn Welsh never really went away. As life happens, I ended up moving to Italy to attend University there. Therefore, I have switched my focus to Italian.
I am not even sure why I want to learn Welsh. I haven’t any family ties to Wales. I have never been to Wales. I don’t think I have even met anyone from Wales. I have Irish, Scottish and Norwegian heritage. I came across the Welsh language on a YouTube binge on Celtic languages. I really enjoyed the way it sounded. So I searched for resources and found this site. I really like the way Welsh is taught with this program. That may be the reason I keep coming back to learn. I am really interested in the 6-month program. If life every gives me the opportunity.
I have read the High Intensity Language Training and Should you practice Less to Speak e-books. So that leads me to this question. Based on the above reference books, should I do a Welsh high intensity day, wait several months and do another and continue this process until I have a period where I can dedicate to the 6 month program? Any suggestions are welcome.
Grazie,
Brendan
