Problem
It's time consuming. I can't get the accents right, or roll my rs.
Answer
Learn through duolingo.com. Just do five minutes a day. By the end of the year you should have a vocabulary of about 100-200 words, enough to get started and feel confident and ahead of all those people who don't know one word.
Story
A friend says it's hard to master Welsh.
I am not planning to master Welsh, not this year, not yet. I admire my friend's aspiration to do so. All I want to do in year one of learning Welsh is read the signs on stations and shops and say please and thank you and good morning if I hear somebody in a cafe speak in Welsh.
I want to understand what the Welsh male voice choir is singing. I generally smile, but wonder if smiling is appropriate. Are they are singing, 'I love the world,' or, 'my true love has died'?
Also I want to understand what the restaurant is saying about me. I always hope it's: 'Give that dear little lady an extra large portion of chips.'
