I was so happy to hear you use the word "efficient" in today's lesson. As an adult learner, this type of lesson is exactly what I need, bite sized chunks that still make me feel like I'm making progress. Diolch, Ben

I really like these new videos and that you are teaching formal grammar, but you could have said something about the interrogative article here - and generally add the odd note for people who are learning to speak informally, and rarely read more formal Welsh

Yes, that would be nice, the articles as well as the verbal particles and the adverbs of time etc, and some interjections maybe, and, I would also suggest many series of videos on all prepositions and conjunctions, and many videos on verbs, as there are so many verbs, usually over 500 or maybe over 1.000 verbs that are used the most - for example, series of videos comparing the prepositions & conjunctions in Welsh / Breton / Cornish, series of videos comparing the verbs in Welsh / Breton / Cornish, including such series of videos on infinitives and present tense and past tense as well as future tense, especially the infinitives & the present tense in the beginning, which are very important, to be learnt as a beginner, with maybe 25 or 30 verbs per video or even 10 or 15 verbs per videos (especially for verbs with multiple meanings) and, maybe 10 or 15 prepositions / conjunctions per video comparing them in Welsh / Breton / Cornish, tho I would also suggest videos on each preposition with multiple uses at least in Welsh, as certain prepositions tend to have multiple uses in many languages, and also, a series of videos on many different idioms / phrases / expressions and chunks etc in Welsh, from the most used ones to the less known ones, as they are used a lot in every language, so learning them definitely helps one understand both the written language and the spoken language better!

I would also suggest noun videos that have different themes, for example, vocab videos with nouns that are spring-themed / winter-themed / autumn-themed / summer-themed and about tools / household items / clothing etc and travel-related nouns and school / professions / study related nouns and transportation-related nouns and nature-themed / tree-themed / flower-themed nouns and nouns related to thinking / expressing ideas / science etc and nouns that are a rare word and nouns that are a more unknown animal such as porpoises and axolotl etc and specific bird names / butterfly names etc, and even poetic terms in general etc, at least in Welsh - tho it would be even better if they would all include the Breton word and the Cornish word as well, because the other Celtic languages are very unknown, and finding resources / videos teaching them is not easy, and Welsh / Breton / Cornish are really gorgeous languages and very closely-related, they should definitely become more known / learned / taught / included / talked about etc, plus it would be a win-win situation, because one who makes the videos and including the words also learns the new words in the two less known Celtic languages (Breton and Cornish) as one teaches them / includes them etc, so it’s a real fun way to learn new words and languages, not only for the learners watching the videos, but also for the video maker, so I try suggesting these ideas as much as possible!

In addition, it would also be interesting to see more videos comparing words in Welsh and Gallo / Breton and Gallo / Cornish and Gallo, or Welsh / Breton / Cornish and Gallo (4 in 1 video) maybe, and maybe even Manx / Scottish Gaelic / Irish and Gallo etc, as Gallo is also very pretty, yet very unknown, and I think it might have a lot of Celtic influences because it’s spoken in France / Brittany, as far as I remember, so it’s also an interesting video idea - another interesting idea would be, to also include the French word or the German word or the Spanish word etc when comparing languages, as much as possible, because I am thinking it would also help the Celtic languages get more known because both French and German (Deutsch) are very popular languages, and Spanish is even more popular than French, so having French or German or Spanish in the video title etc and / or having some key words or text in French / German / Spanish in the description (and even other popular or somewhat popular Germanic / Latin languages such as Dutch / Swedish / Norwegian / Danish and Portuguese / Italian, tho even comparing Icelandic words to Welsh words, for example, will still help speakers of a language discover the other language or other languages, so multiple videos comparing the languages would also be a very good idea, even though I think Welsh is a bit more known than Icelandic) would definitely help more language enthusiasts discover the videos and learn about the Celtic languages, including language enthusiasts that may have never heard of Celtic languages before, plus French and German (and other similar languages) are also gorgeous languages, so it’s always fun to watch videos on many pretty languages and videos comparing pretty words from such languages etc!

I am kind of upper beginner level in Welsh at the moment, I guess, and, I definitely learned a lot of words, and have learned most of the words from the videos I have previously watched, and hopefully I can get my vocab in Welsh to an intermediate level at least by the end of the year - next year I want to get to an advanced level or even to a native speaker level, that would be so nice, to understand everything or almost everything! I find both learning pretty languages and teaching pretty languages real fun, and I would even teach pretty languages myself if I had the possibility to do so, and I noticed that many times I end up teaching things I’ve learned on yt in comments, without even really thinking about it, it’s definitely fun to type / see / learn / hear / analyze etc pretty words, and I only started learning languages on my own last year, but languages have become one of my main hobbies!
