Seven

I’ve been learning Welsh with DysguCymraeg and Duolingo for about 18 months.

I live in England but love Wales, especially North Wales, where we spent every holiday as a child, and to which I feel a strong connection. We recently bought a holiday home, and I wanted to learn the language because I think it’s important to respect the language and culture of a place and to allow us to integrate a bit more. I have little opportunity to practise outside of the weekly Zoom sessions with my DysguCymraeg class, but I’ve been doing SSIW for just over a month, and it’s been absolutely transformational for my confidence and ability to speak.

Welsh is my 5th language, of which 2 are at degree level, and I think the SSI method is the best way of getting to grips with speaking a language I’ve encountered.
