I even downloaded them quite a while ago and even listened to the for a while. I’m not really sure why I didn’t listen to them before or why I’ve stopped listening.
Well, driving on the bus is just right time to listen to them all at once. It’s not even a bit painful, why it should be. I did it today. I could establish I understand quite some things despite it’s Northern version of them (except 1st one). So I can continue this way at least for now.
Last sequence of Level 1 - Challenge 22-24

Stats first and then all the rest. …
C22 = 30 %
C23 = 51 %
C24 = 49 %
C22-24 = 43 %
Level 1 = 62 %
The whole material (Except vocab lessons and repetition of Lessons 24-25/2) = 44 %
Dear @aran, @Iestyn, @CatrinLliarJones, @anon86454181 and the rest of the crew, dear SSiW-ers who went whatever way through my journey until now and of course dear all the rest of you who might only read my reports, posts or just are here and learn just like I do, some with ease, some with difficulties … It was heck of a journey, long, intense, frustrating, but beautiful. It was everything involved - ups dna downs, frustrations and joy, happyness and sorrow, anger when I couldn’t produce as much and as good as I thought I could and happyness when I managed to get at least close to what my expectations were toward myself. Thank you to all of you for encourageing me, guiding me, to have conversations via Skype with me (some impossibly long but pleasant ones (mostly in English) aswell), and most of all, thank you for bearing with me in my worst (hardest) times when I was really impossible and unbearable.
No, I’m not saying godbye, of course not (unless you want me to do so), although it might sound just as this. The journey is only about to begin. I don’t know what comes next (I’m waiting for @aran to tell me this mystery) but I know I’ll be here continuing to learn whatever I can. I’ve finished almost all material published by now but I know exactly I’m not even a bit of a good speaker neither writer, even less reader. All will come in time hopefully (I presume).
But even if I don’t go anywhere I’d like to apologize and say I’m sorry to all those of you (I know there are some but won’t tell the names) whos feelings were hurt in any way due to my, many times not too good behaviour.
So here I am … thank you for “travelling” with me all this time …
Oh, you’re doing southern, are you? Don’t worry, we’ll have a bunch of new material for you in the very near future… 
And I’ll tell you what your mystery surprise is… this afternoon, when I get back…
Let’s do that “gog” thingy 25 just for fun of it then. I’m curious how much I can cope with this. Yah, with measuring of course. 
Mae’r her 25 - gog
The same difficulties as with southern Level all the time but stil, I’ve done it. I said what @aran in a Challenge wanted me to say with equivalent southern version of things and marked as correct only those I was 100 % sure they’re correct. Since I’m talking with @brigitte on skype, who speaks Northern version, (almost) every week and there is more and more Cymraeg spoken I’m not so unfamiliar with some Northern words either so it was not too hard to cope with the whole challenge. However if one thing I’m struggling in Southern there’s no way I wouldn’t in Northern for that matter.
All in all, I can be satisfied with the result. I feel like I now really have finished Leven 1 despite there’s no Challenge 25 in Southern version to go with, yet. I actually found this last Challenge quite similar to Challenge 24 - Southern so some things were still kind of fresh in my mind.
Are you interested in stats? …

should i tell you?

OK let it be …
C25 (N) = … 43 %
FINALLY! (or so) I’m once in my lifetime (kind of) satisfied!
Well now, let’s see if we can keep you feeling positive. Sorry, I really didn’t mean to leave you on tenterhooks yesterday, just ran out of day.
So when would be a good time for an hour’s chat next week, on Skype? With a Welsh only rule, of course…
O_o … I knew what is comming … I’ll have to think a bit. Give me a day, can you? As my husband is at work on afternoons next week and I’m catching more then two buses because of that I’d have to think a bit. But surely it will be at the evening at some point around 7 or 8 my time (what means 6 or 7 your time).
And, thank you @aran. Thank you in deed. I’ll try to remain as positive as possible putting some extra effort into this. You’re more then kind to me, really.
I can do 6 any time, 7 would mean Monday and Wednesday were out…
OK. Will tell you as I’ve said.
Gee, now I’m a bit nervous even now… PHIEW …
Pob lwc, Tatjana, not that you need it. And a reminder to me NEVER to grumble about my lack of progress!
Paid becso, Tatjana, byddi di’n gwych!
Paid a phoeni. Dw i’n gwybod bod ti’n gallu siarad Cymraeg.
Haha @BronwenLewis, I know what you mean.
And thank you all for good wishes and encouragenment. Will try to do my best.
@brigitte yn ni’n gallu siarad heno os amser gyda ti. Mae’n rygbi gem yn cwpla at 7:45 fy amser ac mae’n digon amser i siarad nes ymlaen.
Iawn. Byyda i’n barod tua 8 pm. Dw i’n edrych ymlaen.
Gwych. Dwi wedi anghofio ychydig. Oes yn un amser gyda ni, ie?
Ooo, ye, people. I and @brigitte were good girls last evening and literally had an hour or so long conversation almost all in Cymraeg with a tinny little (word by word) English inserts when we really couldn’t remember the word. I had my Ap Geiriaduron opened and searched for words but I’m always a bit embaressed as I mostly can’t read what I’ve found properly so even so right word can sound totally wrong when read by me.
I’m still not sure I’m prepared for this, but I probaly never be no matter how much time I’d have so let’s go with it. @aran I decided Tuesday at 6 pm your time (7 pm my time) would be the right time for me if it’s OK with you. If not, let me know.
Hope we won’t be talking about too complicated things like what my husband does at his job. I literally can’t explain this in Cymraeg. - hehe
For now, I still feel positive … I wonder what the time brings though.
If you have managed to speak in Welsh for an hour (58 minutes longer than my current record) you already speak Welsh, so well done! An hour-long chat with Aran next is a prize, and a reassurance that you’re a Welsh speaker, not a test. Enjoy!!
Hehe, you should hear me. I’ve switched almost in every sentence inbetween tenses before I found the right one and even then I wasn’t sure if it all is said right. I had a feeling @brigitte some times didn’t quite know what I wanted to say, but we somehow put things together through the conversation anyway.
Yah I know… (sur)priz(s)e. … and I’m taking it as that. I’m really the lucky one, am I not? Whatever I surely am grateful to him for leading me through this whole material.
I decided I’d start with vocabs tomorrow. It’s Monday so perfect day to start (if I won’t sing “I don’t like Mondays” already in the morning at approx 4:30 am when I have to get up … and … remember … when I sing I cry … (yah, that last bit is dead sirious though … ))
It’s in my calendar…
