I come back to SSiW again and again. When I first found SSiW it was only a couple of years old, and I was an adoptee who didn’t know much about my actual heritage other than it was probably largely Celtic of some sort. While I’ve since found out my ancestry’s largely Irish, at the time I was declared by the SSiW forums (back in probably like 2011 or so) to be honorarily Welsh, and that’s meant the world to me since.

I’ve never managed to get particularly far into the course, but I’ve never fully given up, because this language is beautiful, and it means so much to me, because I really needed that acceptance and support (as small as it was) at the time I first found this course.

I will always come back. One day, I’ll actually be able to hold a conversation! In the meantime, at least I’ve had a LOT of practice pronouncing “LL” over the years!
