Language goals

[smmg]

My 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.

My shorter-term goals (things I want to achieve within the next year) are:

• 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

I really enjoy our weekly Welsh chat group. My Welsh is much more fluent when I'm relaxed and talking with friends.
