Aran
you are correct I just need to build up more confidence.
On Friday night just gone @Howard had his first real long conversation, so he assures me. On Saturday his Welsh skills working in the local shop were much improved, so he assures me. People learn patience by experiencing things that might make them impatient. People learn confidence by doing the scarey thing. Go and have the conversation @Heston. It gets easier the next time. Honest.
It’s true. I met with @margaretnock for 2 hours in the pub and we spoke (almost) nothing but Cymraeg. I was amazed how English became slightly less my default language the next day. A session with a SSIW person does wonders for the confidence!
Yup, one more to confirm this. Just do it! and don’t worry too much. Mostly we are doing all sorts of blocades in our head just because we worry too much (or we beat ourselves too much (as it was in my case)).
Da best!
