Okay, so I’ve been doing level 1 (southern course) and my vocabulary and speaking ability is growing by the day. But how do I go about the listening activities? My listening ability is terrible. I can recognise the things that are being said, but my mind keeps wanting to translate everything to understand it and it frazzles my brain aha.
Thanks in advance!
Mi ddaw o … it’ll come.
The listening part is all about patience. Do the exercises, listen to the radio and to music, get yourself into conversations.
Lance Armstrong once told me* that the best way to get better at climbing hills was to climb hills … to get better at listening to Welsh you need to listen to Welsh. 
*He told me in his book. Drug cheat he was but he was still first to the finish ahead of the other drug cheats.

If you do five minutes a day, you’re gold. If you can manage more than that, you’ll trigger faster changes, which is great - but doing one every day is the gold standard…
