Fantastic, about all these new challenges.
Iām catching up after a holiday. Challenges 16, 17 & 18 were less uphill than I was anticipating. Challenge 19 was turning out to be a bit of a grueller - and then wow - two constructions came up that I had already soaked in from short real-life conversations with 1st language speakers on the holiday. How relevant is SSiW?

I know I should be working on Becaās listening because thatās my weakness and I can just see Aran and Iestynās disapproving looks but I so want to do the new challenges.

I had to laugh at some of the sentences in Lesson 24. Iām wondering how far you can push this.
"She went inside the entrance to the hotel over there on her own to buy a new bed and a couple of postcards, before stopping for a rest, saying itās not meant to be easy, but how high is that wall exactly and just before the news reached the office they found that she, before they all left together, whoever she was, nearly got left behind before she ran to the right, under a bridge, across the grass saying, I used to live around here and Iāll never make you cup of coffee, ever again, unless you answer me right now with this question - are those your children, who were running through the living room making a mess in the kitchen.

Last few of any level are always particularly brutalā¦
Havenāt experienced one that tough in a while but if it aināt hurtinā it aināt workinā.

I seem to recall L3 24 & 25 of the old course being a real final marathon sprint. However they did the trick of squeezing a really nice chunk out of the end of the course. Sort of āWowā, where did that come from?"
Also, not to forget that 24 & 25 are the ones that we are allowed to revisit on a regular revision basis. So I guess that thereās no massive need to completely master these final challenges during the first sitting.

Thatās 23 and 24 done. Well, sort of, they need to be revisited. I still get the occasional completely silent goldfish- imitation blanks. It is always while I am frantically trying to think what tense of a verb I should be using and if I should be using a short form. Short forms may stay in the category āI can recognise it but I canāt say itā for a long time.
While eagerly awaiting 25 South, I ventured a visit to the North to see how different it would be. Itās strange, I can swap some phrases without too much trouble, but other words or phrases seem to be too deeply embedded to change. I canāt give up āmoynā. I was also amused to find that ātwpā is deeply embedded. Well, my mother used to say it. It was one of the very few words that she remembered. That sounds bad, but at least ācwtshā was another.
Bring on 25, no matter how painful it may be.

Well, I just noticed challenge 25 is up and running and I canāt wait to get home to do it!
This has been fantastic.
Iām glad the old course is up as well as I feel I need to go back and do some of the vocab lessons.
This has been a brilliant course, thank you so much! Iām so happy to say that I now feel like welsh speaker (although I realise I have a long way to go). I would never have thought that I could learn as much as I have with the Levels, Old Course and (of course) conversation practice on slack. Iām now reading books (albeit slowly) in welsh and Iām reading news and getting the gist of many of the stories.
Thank you for giving me the gift of this wonderful language and a strong foundation to build on.
