Cymraeg

I don't know if I'd mentioned that Welsh is part of our curriculum this year.

Chloe is amazed at how much Welsh she knows, considering she knew not a word 5 weeks ago. She's starting to mix things up, though. In her regular schoolwork, she's putting F's where she should be putting V's. She's been calling Troy "Pysgodyn", and since she likes to make fun of how white he is, she says "The pysgodyn is wyn", and sometimes says it properly "Mae'r pysgodyn yn wyn" [the fish is white]. At night is when she really starts using her Welsh.

Everyday, I remind the girls to use the Welsh words they know instead of the English ones, but they forget. And so do I :p

Annika does well in Welsh, but she's a lesson or 2 behind Chloe, and she gets more wrong answers. She can understand, though, and when I'm listening to Welsh music, she can pick out some words, and then asks what the lyrics are.

I'm soooo tired *yawn*
