Do i move on to level 2

So i just worked through challenge 25 of level 1, which is basically a recap of the whole level. However, it’s made me feel terrible. Half of it just hasn’t sunk in. It’s taken me longer than most to get here, as I have to listen to each challenge 4 or 5 times before I feel able to move on. But now I’m thinking I should have done them more times. So my question is now, do I move on to Level Two, even though I don’t feel confident with level 1 or should I pause for a while and go over the challenges again?

Hi @jayne-hitchen

General advice is to keep on rolling!..that if you can say any Welsh in the gaps - there is no need to re-do.

The whole process is a bit weird and very counterintuitive - and your brain is actually working on things when you are absolutely certain that it isn’t!

The duplication /revision in future challenges is designed to pull everything through and somehow it feels as if being asked about something else in those challenges actually helps!..something falls into place - it’s the strangest thing.

If you have got that far you have a lot if Welsh under your belt - some of which you realise - but a lot you don’t…

Trust the process - because it works.

Dal ati!..,keep going! :wink:

Hello Jayne-Hitchen
Basically I don’t try and remember the welsh…if I understand it is the main thing
and if you understand it …like a child its all about repetition …your subconscious is doing all the work for you just as a child would learn…as long as you understand the welsh that’s the main thing…your brain does the rest
Are you trying to understand it or remember?

Hi. It may be worth revisiting course 1 challenge 25 if you would like to, say in a week or two, as the repetition thing will keep working. 25 is, after all, everything from the whole of course 1 and it’s quite a stiff ask. My opinion is that you have done exactly the right thing. Onward! Ymlaen!

Firstly - that’s amazing that you have done level 1!
Keep going I say. I could do hardly any of that challenge but just ploughed on with level 2 anyway cos I was too impatient. When I came back to that particular challenge a few months later I was shocked at how much better I was :slight_smile:
