I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant, the reason I signed up is so I can encourage my child to learn Welsh too - I was just wondering what happens when I likely miss a week due to being in labour? Is there any way of working around that?
Thanks

Hi @charley-lemon and welcome aboard! What a wonderful reason for learning Welsh and you’ll be giving your child a headstart hearing you practising right from the start.
There is no problem having a temporary pause from time to time when you’re doing one of the structured courses. You just need to send an email through to admin@saysomethingin.com and that will be organised for you.

aran has a little rarely-used collection of Welsh expletives which he keeps for occasions like these
Edit: I mean for you to use during labour.

@charley-lemon Shwmae a croeso! I posted this a couple days ago in a different thread and I thought you might find it interesting so I will post the link here too in case you missed it. According to the science, your baby may already be gaining the benefits of your new language! Pob lwc!

I once was in a Welsh for Adults lesson where the teacher went completely off topic and began demonstrating how to do Welsh expletives. In fact, one expletive - not very imaginative in and of itself.
But she demonstrated how to use it as a descriptor of every other word - as sometimes you hear it used yn Saesneg.
It was the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. I don’t know if anyone actually talks like that, but it would be very difficult to take them seriously if they did.

Feel free to ask him where ‘toot’ came from. As in - “Wait here a mo’ I’ve gotta hit the toot before we grab some tinnies on the way to the barbie, luv”
