HOBBES DON'T TELL MY WIFE I'M CRASHING OUT ON TUMBLR DOT COM

Couple of questions (sparked by this post): would that beginner Welsh text be at all useful for self-study, do you think? Dwi'n trio dysgu cymraeg a bit myself but all I've really got as resources are podcasts and I'd love a workbook.

If it's any good for self study, would you be willing to share an ISBN or title or something so I can find it?

Probably! Though you might want an audio component to get the benefit of it. There are tons of resources including online self-study options at Dysgu Cymraeg / Learn Welsh, including freely available PDFs of this textbook. It's the Mynediad / Entry Level textbook (North Wales) (South Wales is also available).

They also have graded story books so you can start reading books from a really early stage.

I have been learning Welsh for a whole two (2) weeks (well, in this specific attempt; I have made prior attempts, and also did study medieval Welsh, so I'm a bit of a weird case where I have previously learned some quite complex grammar but I don't know how to say anything useful), so I am extremely not an expert, but Dysgu Cymraeg is really the place to start if it's learning resources you're looking for, they've got tons.

I'm super late to the Hyrule party (just picked up BotW like ... 8 months ago) but you're on your way to convincing me to pick up Age of Calamity next.

(I've finished BotW only once, but I've started like 4-5 games. The final boss fight interests me so much less than, for example, getting Tarrey Town up and running.)

Age of Calamity is a very different kind of game from other Zeldas, with its beat-em-up missions instead of puzzles and dungeon exploration, so there’s that. I’d say to watch a little gameplay by somebody else before buying the game, just to make sure it’s a style you like. Or maybe you already play other games like it and know you enjoy that kind! ^.^ (I wasn’t sure I’d like the gameplay but it turns out I do!)

I really can’t recommend the story and characters more highly. AoC gets some flack in the greater LoZ fandom sometimes for “not being canon” (debatable since the Zelda timeline is so branching and warped anyway and there’s stuff in the game that definitely influenced TotK) but to be honest, as I said in my tags on that reblog, it does SO MUCH with the characters especially, to show their personalities and relationships. Even tiny details like messages that pop up from characters when you get 1,000 KOs in a mission or what they say when you put them on a team together in the character selection screen, are delightful. Just watching cutscenes gives the overview and most important story moments, but so much more is revealed through the actual progression and dialogue during missions, too.

There’s even some mission maps where you get to go inside locations that by botw time are just ruins or that are much more closed-off to you in botw!

So…yeah! That’s my glowing review! If you do end up playing, I hope you’ll enjoy it too!

(re: this post's tags) Ooo cheers and best wishes with the gym membership! The biggest push toward success for me was finding a community at my little local gym; we've got a great group of people who push each other and cheer each other on and it's just so encouraging and wholesome. I hope you can find what works for you!!

Thank you <3

hobbular replied to your post: Oh god this thing doesn’t age well… I just learned...

oh shit does picasa even exist anymore?

A quick google seemed to indicate no. I wasn’t quite sure, so I looked it up bc I had a feeling I’d heard it’s gone..
