So I had had a bit of a lull for a few weeks after suddenly having a loss of confidence fairly near the end challenge 3… but I’ve been back to it for the last few weeks again and today I FINISHED the last lesson of challenge 3.
I hadn’t anticipated what an emotional moment it was going to be!! I’m not at all embarrassed to say I was properly sobbing 
So i’d like to say another huge thank you for the course 
you’re all brilliant.
If anyone is reading this and lives anywhere near me, my plan is to set up a speaking practice group in my village of Llanfairtalhaiarn…I know a few people who are already interested. I’ve been talking about it for a while but I’m really going to do it now 
I’m hoping some of the older generation Welsh speakers might fancy coming along to enjoy a bit of company and then help us out. My idea is that this potentially helps a generation where loneliness is a big issue as well as us learners. I will keep you posted on here as to how it goes!
Advanced content next of course 
I had a little cry, too. I’m ashamed to admit I had to look up where Llanfairtalhaiarn is, but now that I know, could you invite me to the first meeting, please, as I fancy a trip out?
OK deal, will do. There’s a new cafe opening soon in the village so I’m going to find out when it’s open and maybe aim for then 
will let you know
Wow @kate-davies what a massive achievement - well done!
That is a lot of material - and it only seems about 5 minutes ago that you started!
I’ve also just looked up where Llanfairtalhaiarn is too(!)…and wow again - you look like your in a great place for some practice - now that you are a Welsh speaker. 
Congratulations.
Rich
What a gigantic achievement - huge, huge congratulations, Kate! 
And how brilliant to hear that you’re going to throw yourself into such a variety of valuable contributions - it’s always particularly moving to see learners growing into such a hugely valuable part of the community…
Awesome to read this as I’m only on lesson 4 Level 1. I’m already planning a celebration for completing lesson 10! lol
Congrats on starting up the speaking group and with an extra-lovely intention hefyd!
Congratulations, Kate! Well done! 
Diolch yn fawr iawn Aran
Yes well done Kate. Even as the most emotionally challenged member of SSiW, I remember having a little celebration on completing the course.
So da iawn i ti. Also, if you can pronounce the name of your village, you must be 95% fluent 
Congratulations, Kate! That’s a fantastic achievement!
Llongyfarchiadau, I had a little blub at the end of Level 1, I’m now on lesson 10 of Level 2 so goodness knows how I’ll feel when I get to your stage. Man the lifeboats I suspect lol. Even the uplifting messages at the beginning and end of each individual challenge get my throat catching. Well done, massive achievement :)
Thanks to help from @John…er…,who drove us to Nant G, and from @Lea and @Hendrik Robisch I think that there must be some iron in the name of the venue town… as some mettle/metal/steel in the soul of those who finish Level 3 and go forth and multiply meets! Da iawn i ti @kate-davies!
Da iawn, Kate! … am ddangos cymaint o ddycnwch a dyfalbarhad. Dal ati!
Helo… Kate
I’m in Llanddulas after having moved here in August last year from Cambridge (very flat) !
I’ve got to week 9 of the SSiW. I can’t believe I’m actually doing it, as I was more than a bit rubbish at languages at school… apart from English which I loved.
I run my own little business ‘Tina’s Home Help’ mostly local to Llanddulas. A lot of my customers are elderly & speak Welsh… they love that I’m trying to learn.
If you do ever set up a group I might be interested in popping along sometime
Tina.
Great achievement!
