Language goals
Jul. 14th, 2025 03:30 pmMy long-term language-learning goals are to:
- refine and polish my Welsh skills so I'm comfortably at a C1 level
- improve my knowledge of my heritage languages (Irish, Cornish, and Scots) to a fairly fluent level (at least B2)
- obtain at least an A2 level in the other three Celtic languages (Breton, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic)
- learn more about the ancient and medieval languages of Britain, Ireland, and the surrounding islands
- be able to read academic Celtic studies texts written in German and French.
- take a Dysgu Cymraeg proficient-level course. I found this table for their level descriptors
- read more books in Welsh
- go to weekly Welsh-language meet-ups in my university town
- read a book in Irish
- finish Basic Irish: A Grammar and Workbook, and make good progress on the Intermediate Irish book
- go to weekly Irish-language meet ups in my university town
- take a Cornish exam in June (either Grade 1/A2 or Grade 2/B1.... I think I could try and go for Grade 2)
- finish the Scots Open University course
- start on the Luath Scots Learner book
- finish Basic German: A Grammar and Workbook, and start on the intermediate one
- try and go to another Celtic nation for a bit and speak the language there, probably a summer course next year, if I have the money
