Problem
I am already learning Welsh on Duolingo. How can I go faster?
Answer
List the words - with a memory aid. Then practise.
Go back and redo the lessons every couple of days to reinforce them.
Here are today's words:
English - Welsh
(Spaces inserted because automatic speller keeps changing my words.)
belt - g w r e g y s (memory aid - Good Wide Regulation Yellow Strap - visualise a Japanese obi or a martial arts belt)
