What's your learning plan for this year?

If you tell someone your plan to do something you’re more likely to actually do it, so I thought it’d be nice to share our plans for how we’re doing to learn Welsh this year.

I’m going to focus on properly memorising all the auxiliary verbs, particularly the conditionals (would, could, should, etc). I obviously know the ones I use all the time, but the more rarely used ones and the conditionals in general are not all on the tip of my tongue when I need them, so I need to properly internalise them.

I’m also going to conquer the structure where the object comes before the verbnoun and has to use a pronoun, which is explained in this video:

I’ve already started going through some of the books I’ve got to highlight this structure when I see it, so that I can more easily recognise it and can use it fluently myself.

And finally, I’m going to write another book for intermediate learners!

What are your plans and goals for this year?

I first discovered SSiW in 2011 and fell in love with it. However, I haven’t really committed to becoming fluent in Welsh, because I’m American and haven’t been able to make it across the pond yet. I’ve done a refresher here and there over the years, though.

But this year, I want to commit to fluency. I’ve always wanted to speak my ancestral languages (including Welsh), and I’m ready to buckle down. I’m hoping to attend an online workshop in May, and by then I should be caught up.

I also look forward to practicing other languages on Automagic, especially French, German, Japanese, and Irish (another ancestral language!). I can’t wait to see what other languages you add. (Swedish and Scottish Gaelic would be nice! :wink:)
