I think I have completed the free units on south course 1 so moved onto the vocabulary units which start with numbers. The advice is not to try them until you have completed the other units but I am being asked things like ‘they have bought two things’. Where is they in course one? Have I missed it? You plural and we is covered but no they which sounds like noo. Can you help.
Hmm… that sounds like a hiccup on our part, to be honest - there shouldn’t be any examples of ‘they’ (which is ‘nhw’, usually pronounced ‘noo’) in the Course 1 vocab sessions - sorry for that extra bit of pain! 
And many congratulations on getting through Course 1 - I hope you’re reaching out to start using your Welsh with other people now, because you definitely have enough to start having conversations

O, yes, there is nhw in vocab unit but as far as I can remember only once so this really is kind of hickup and nothing more. 
Interestingly enough I’ve just took that nhw as it is saying: “Aha, they is nhw then” extreamly happy that I finally have heard that word for them …
Otherwise the whole Course 2 is full of nhw … not right at the beginning but from somewhere of the middle on … I thought I’m hearing only nhw yet.

I’ve reached exactly the same point as you (finished Course 1 Southern, now tackling vocab units), and I’d also wondered about the sudden appearance of “they”.
Thanks for asking the question which I’d intended to ask, but didn’t get around to!

Super course by the way. I do find the practice sessions a bit stressful because of all the jumping from one tense to another. Really keeps you on your toes. The pace of learning is really fast but the more I learn the more I mix things up like saying open instead of close but I guess it’s getting the patterns of speech correct that matters. Have recommended it to others who are learning. Thanks =]

I’d add tenses here. I mix tenses and forget things which I’d have to be able to say if you wake me up at the middle of the night. But, I’ll eventually do things right one day … with @aran’s patient help.

Thank you very much for your very kind words - they mean a lot!
Yes there is a lot to take in as the pace is it seems normal conversational speed which is challenging. Especially when the patterns come randomly however the listening practices are very useful for getting use to hearing and responding to the sentences. They are helping me a lot keep going it gets better.

I like this course because although you are learning to say very useful things and are always being encouraged to experiment with the vocabulary you’ve acquired (hence some of the odd phrases!) there is a definable structure/progression. That’s why I was expecting to finally learn about they. I thought it was going to be in the last lesson only to discover there is no last lesson in the south course because the last lesson is the one before last (which you know if you’ve done it). There can never be a last lesson when learning a language after all. Looking forward to course 2…

We’ll get there in the not-too-distant future - sorry for the frustration in the meantime!
