Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but are there any links to the old course? I did find it and started reading through then lost them.
Many Thanks Donna

On a browser (not sure if itās different for apps), click on āLearnā in the top bar, then click on it again in the next window, then choose āchallengesā - scroll down and youāll see links to the old course there.

I remember reading on here that Aran sort-of disowns it now, but having finished the new course (and loved it), I felt that the Old Course was a great follow-on exercise and really helped to cement some of the stuff in my mind.
Iām in the middle of Level 2, and can recommend it to anyone who has finished Level 3 of the New course, and is still looking for another dose of the SSiW method.
So Iām glad you left it there for us Aran!

Agreed, Iāve found the old course really useful for some grammar stuff, and the coverage of how to say yes and no in the right way is indispensable.

Many thanks I have found it now.
I can now get back to learning some more Welsh. Although I admit Iām using f the pause button a lot as it goes too fast for me. However I do appear to be remembering words so thatās a start!

In Challenge 6, Level 1 of the Old Course, Iestyn refers to the listening exercises on the Forum. I have had a hunt to no avail. Can anyone tell me where these listening exercises are, please?
Have they perhaps been reincarnated as the Advanced Content?
I canāt find the listening exercises in the forum either. But there are some under ālearnā and āchallengesā if you swipe as far as possible to the right.
I have a problem following your instructions, Anna. Can you expand, please? When I look at the web site on my laptop, I can select Learn then Challenges, but it just displays the latest challenge I have been working on. I have no āswipeā option on my laptop, so can you tell me what you see, please?
Oh dear, yes youāre right. Under challenges, the web site brings up the challenge that I am working on at the moment. At the bottom of that page, under the heading of āOld materialā there are links to weekly and daily practices. But there are not many of them and, for me, it is completely unclear how they are to be used.
This is what you should see @simon-gregory-1, just above the Apple and Google store buttons. There are listening exercises if you click on weekly or daily practices (once you click on one of those, there are more buttons to get you to either the listening or speaking practices that the old course refers to).
@Anna-Scharf if you are working through the new course, you donāt need to use these at all. Some like to do the old course and its associated exercises after they have completed all of the new course because it is set out slightly differently, so thatās why the old material was left accessible, but itās entirely optional.
Thanks Siaron. I have been looking at the old course because I am coming to the end of level 2 in the new one. Iāve worked through the first 6 lessons and am finding that the every day vocabulary and the basic grammar that is introduced very useful. The slower listening exercises are good for me, too, as I am very hard of hearing and am often confronted with situations where I am at a loss to understand what is being said and do not enjoy more of the same with the exercises in the new course.

Note that the old course listening exercises arenāt updated any more as that course is no longer maintained, but what is there is still useful. Any Welsh that you can listen to is useful 
How can I switch from the old course to the new course?
