Something I've been after for a long time is finally beginning tomorrow.

Attendance at a Welsh language course.

My knowledge of Welsh has been that of a native - I'm happy to hold down a conversation, watch Welsh language TV, and I can keep up with a newspaper or magazine article - but everybody needs to see paperwork, diplomas, accreditation.

So this is my bid to spend the next thirty weeks proving that I am worthy of that paperwork.

I might be doing this for the job opportunities, but then again I might be doing this for the personal pleasure of being able to reconnect to my Welsh roots, and rediscover the joy of being able to go into a Welsh language store and chat with the shop owner, almost as if I were a real human being.
