Duolingo launches new beta Welsh Language for English speakers

Croeso! Helo, bore da, prynhawn da, nos da,

Duolingo now offers Welsh as a language to learn, for English speakers.

I've only had one intention of learning Welsh. There was a biology teacher who I found to be very inspiring. Biology was one of my favourite sciences and I like the human biology stuff which she seemed to be rather fond of. So this teacher had a terrific Welsh accent and was generally a great lady. I persuaded her to try and teach us some Welsh, which she did for a while. However I wasn't quite so fond of her when she decided to tell my mother I wasn't good enough in her class and a terrible student. It was mainly for the intense bullying that I didn't enjoy the classes so much, as it involved a lot of group work. I ended up studying the subject mostly by myself. (I got an A in the end, beat that Mrs R!)

Hwyl :)

Many, many things

At least three times a week I think about subjects that would make a good blog post. I never tend to write them down unfortunately. I don't think I will be able to keep up regular updates for more than two months, but then again, perhaps that makes this blog very much akin to my nature. One project, then another, then another, and the piles on the desk crush the ceiling once more. A nice little paper tree, gliding along the pipes and fluttering loose leaves.
