@ Maïwenn and Liam, Thank you very much, I'll try to do my best. Pob lwc to you too!
Serpent, no idea why they had so many books in Swedish. A king from Swedish dynasty moved our capital from Kraków to Warszawa, maybe it's the hotel's way to show gratitude :P Seriously, no idea. I did buy five books, four in German and one in Spanish. I'm always very happy when I find a good novel in German because my mum and sister both speak it and we all profit from my purchase. It was great to meet you in Wrocław :) Norwegian: I'm revising 5 first chapters of Vil du lære norsk and I watched Himmel og helvete, I'm not sure if this film actually deterred someone from taking drugs but I enjoyed it. Is it well known in Norway? (It's from 1969, could be a classic) Welsh: Right now I'm listening to the fifth audio lesson of saysomethinginwelsh beginners course, I also have radio Ceredigion playing in the background when I do something on my computer, from time to time they switch from English to Welsh. Spanish: I watched the news on Deutsche Welle online (dw.de) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have never heard of it, but I was only 7 years old when it was released. Lillebjørn Nilsen is super famous in Norway though. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Welsh!
I asked Radio Ceredigion team on facebook if they have any only Welsh programm on air and they answered me immediately that they have a daily show between 6 and 8 pm. I also wrote them that I want to learn their beautiful language. I'm listening to it now and they greeted me twice (sofar) during the audition and said that they believe I can learn Welsh (if I understood correctly), what a great encouragement. The broadcast is not entirely in Welsh (news and adds are in English) but they play many Welsh songs. Radio Ceredigion - if anybody wanted to hear casual Welsh.

"due to my renewed interest in mythology and penchant for metal and folk music, and I
thought to myself that one day I have to start learning Norwegian." That's awesome! Learning a language to listen to the Metal they make must be hard though. I'm already having enough problems with understanding English/Dutch metal but those Scandinavians sure know how to make metal. Lykke til Gosiak!

Shwmae, Gosiak, a gobeithio dy fod ti'n joio'r Gymraeg! (Hiya, Gosiak, & hope you're enjoying Welsh!) If you are doing SSIW, I think you've probably seen me on the (very active & supportive) forum there. How far have you gotten so far, and are you doing northern or southern? If you're listening to Radio Ceredigion, I'm guessing southern (like me). Are you aware that you can listen to Radio Cymru free online (all Welsh, all the time), and that it's available also through TuneIn apps? http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiocymru/ I find Taro'r Post (midday in Wales) particularly useful listening practice, since as a call-in show it gets people with all sorts of accents. I also recommend Pigion, which is Radio Cymru's weekly podcast for learners (edited excerpts from the week's shows, with specially-written introductions and vocab sheets available online). You can get it in iTunes, or here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/pigion For the vocab sheets, go here and click on 'Geirfa' (vocabulary): http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiocymru/safle/pigion// I don't personally like Colloquial Welsh (too disorganized), but King's Modern Welsh is imho a spectacularly good reference grammar book for the colloquial spoken language. To me, the only 'teaching' resources you really have to have to handle Welsh are SSIW, Modern Welsh, the green idioms book (check on www.gwales.com, you'll find it), plus music, Radio Cymru, Pigion, novels for learners, 'real novels,' etc. Somewhere near the end of Course 2 of SSIW I also went systematically through the southern Cwrs Mynediad and Cwrs Sylfaen Welsh for Adults texts to make sure I had all the basics down. (I don't recommend the Cwrs Canolradd book -- by the time you get there, it's way too easy.) I'm pretty comfortable with Welsh now, and am starting Spanish. I held off until I was confident the Welsh was enough 'part of me' not to go away. Pob lwc! Mae'r Gymraeg yn hyfryd. (Good luck! Welsh is lovely.) :-) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Bore da, Gosiak! How are you getting along with saysomethinginwelsh? I've added Radio Ceredigion to my iTunes list now, as well as some of those other great BBC Welsh links mentioned by Tahl.
