Hi Catriona! It’s a little worrying how well you predict my responses

But the key issue here, actually (phew, I get to change the record!) is that we don’t have more than a very little new material for the Welsh course - it’s really just the old content moved over into the new app - you could get a bit of yoga stretching out of signing up with the new app and asking admin@ to set you to black belt (which wouldn’t be straight into the new material, but is as close as we can easily manage right now) - but the big step forward will be when we catch up with creating all the extra new material for Welsh as well - currently that’s looking like a ‘before the end of this year’ thing At that point, it’ll be easier for us to set you up to start with new material

Ah, yes, I was thinking more about when the big chunk of new material is available in (N) Welsh. I’ve reached that stage in Italian, having worked my way through lots of old friends like “I told her my room number once but she forgot it” (etc). And more or less stopped starting the response in Italian and finishing it in Welsh

Great news if it will possible to get admin to set me up somewhere around that stage when the new Welsh material is available. Meanwhile, I’ll keep doing my stretches in Italian. And maybe dabbling in something else. Who knows? Always something more to explore!

And we’re going to be able to accelerate production of new courses before the end of the year - we’ve learnt a lot about what we can and can’t do, in the last few months

Oddly, in that respect, real Aran may be more consistent than robo-Aran…

SaySomethingin Portuguese

Unusually, a glitch in the English: in various phrases involving ‘tomatoes’ (e.e. “I heard say that he wanted to plant tomatoes”) robo-Aran pronounces them the American way (‘tomaytoes’). He may be channeling his inner Jerry Hunter, but it’s very disconcerting!

robo-Aran and I are mortal enemies!

I am hoping this is a subject for an upcoming cartoon!
