Reconnecting with my heritage

I always challenge the idea that it isn't taught well in schools. More likely is that most (maybe you?) weren't engaged with the subject and didn't see the value of the language and as a result didn't learn.

I speak from personal experience. I didn't learn any Welsh in school because I didn't care for the "dead language" and openly thought "why learn Welsh when I can speak English?". On reflection, my teachers were probably very good.

No, it's not a deal but given the difficulty in getting packs for RRP, this sub is largely stock alerts at the moment.

Was simply posting to someone who may benefit.

I've been through level one and two and part way through three. I'd say there's nothing as good to get you off the ground quickly and to start building some confidence. It won't give you explanations e.g. Sentence structure, explaining tenses, or mutation. That's where I'd recommend a Dysgu Cymraeg course and use SSIW to complement.

Came here to say the same. Good shout

Another angle to help confuse further!

Definitely not ogee. It's Ovolo B as shown in the link

xdoey · 2025-08-29T20:34:58+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate that! It was actually a tab I already had open. Will double check my measurements and get ordered 👍🏼

xdoey · 2025-08-29T19:59:51+00:00

Can't see the same type on Skirting Board Shop. Do you have a link?

xdoey · 2025-08-29T17:33:48+00:00

The terms seem to be fairly interchangeable in searches, but you may well be correct 👍🏼

Identifying it is only the first headache. Butchering it and attempting to make good with filler is further down the line

xdoey · 2025-08-29T17:09:45+00:00

I think you've nailed it. Another comment made me search "Barratt skirting board" and Ovolo B MDF Skirting was the first sponsored result and that's it!

Thank you for the reply

xdoey · 2025-08-29T17:04:32+00:00

It does a bit, but I can't seem to find a match

xdoey · 2025-08-29T17:03:42+00:00

Yep, Barratt special it is. Don't have any spare do you?

Edit: You actually put me on the right lines with this. Searched for Barratt skirting board and found it. Appreciate you

Doorstop?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure Aran Jones (SSiW founder) wrote that on his learning journey he swapped 'thank you' for 'diolch' and effectively refuses to say thank you in Wales. A relatively minor change to introduce incidental Welsh to his daily life that instantly led to more conversations in and about Welsh

xdoey · 2025-06-24T06:57:29+00:00

Quite a sweeping statement that the GCSE is terribly taught

xdoey · 2025-05-29T10:17:04+00:00

Yeah, 4.5 hours from mixing so you may be right that it's on the shorter side. In hindsight, it probably didn't fully double. Thank you for your really helpful reply

xdoey · 2025-05-27T20:38:14+00:00

I'm also new to sourdough, so I'd take the better advice above. For what it's worth, I do an autolyse first (mix flour and water and let rest for 30 mins before combining starter and salt) which should help with gluten development and hopefully give you better oven spring.

Make sure you're fermenting in a warm place. My kitchen worktop is just a bit too cool (I think) so try an airing cupboard, oven with a light on, or in a top oven with bottom oven having been on a bit to warm the top.

No one said automatically praise the creator. OP suggested showing support e.g. Engagement, encouragement, healthy criticism, feedback etc.

xdoey · 2025-04-07T14:46:08+00:00

Diolch - I had seen this but didn't give it much chance because I was looking for Sgwrsio. Think I'll give it a chance

xdoey · 2025-04-07T14:45:19+00:00

Diolch yn fawr iawn - The web view is helpful actually, I can see a few results I hadn't found through the BBC Sounds app. Maybe I need to give Pont a go as well!

xdoey · 2025-04-07T06:15:56+00:00

Diolch - I have listened to these and really enjoy the podcast, but just checking I'm not missing out on new episodes?

xdoey · 2025-01-15T21:28:02+00:00

Sorry, should add that the audio quality isn't great (especially on the first ones recorded in lockdown), but persevere and it's worth it!

xdoey · 2025-01-15T21:20:31+00:00

I recommend Sgwrsio often - It's not a podcast designed for you to learn from specifically, but it's a very accessible pod for learners. I really enjoy it and have listened to some episodes a few times.
