I did some Welsh in school, a long time ago. To say “I” was" Fi or Mi", but the first and subsequent lessons, up to number 3, use something different, or am I not hearing properly?

Fi or mi can mean ‘I’ (or ‘me’) but it depends where they come in the sentence. Starting off a present-tense positive sentence in spoken Welsh is usually dwi.
It’s best to put aside any Welsh learnt a long time ago for the time being. Some of it will come back to you, naturally, but the way SSiW teaches is very different (but more effective) to school Welsh, so try not to let it confuse you too much and just go with it.

The way SSiW works is that it builds sentences, so what SSiW presents as the Welsh for “I” is in fact “I am” : Dw i
For example: I want to learn Welsh. - Dw i’n moyn dysgu Cymraeg.
(Literally saying something like “I am wanting to learn Welsh” if you pick the bits apart.)

Thank you Hendrick. That clears it up for me. Thought I was hearing things wrongly!
