Okay, so I wanted to post another video by this guy, which deals with German, but this one kind of seems to summarize the points I want better: https://youtu.be/61Kk7VkoWbc It's about Latin, and if that immediately turns you off, in short he emphasizes the idea that mastery of a language is directly proportional to the amount of exposure to it... And also has little to do with its quality. Which, on the one hand, goes against your approach of trying to understand everything your book presents, but also against mine of surmounting one sentence every day... He also repeatedly recommends reading bilingual texts, which...
Well, I suppose I know where to get some bilingual texts in Welsh, for free. But... No, of course he's right. I suppose my current method is like his deconstructing of Latin grammar... Sigh, how I yearn back to the simpler times of starting to learn Polish, when I had a perfect goal and materials. Quite frankly, deconstructing Welsh grammar has simply been more appealing than actually reading anything in the language. __________________ Social anxiety and possible Aspergers (undiagnosed, but it helps to let you know to more quickly find a common ground).

Actually, watching that guy's videos has made me really anxious. I don't think I'll be paying much attention to his advice... There's nothing wrong with it, but I think his tone takes me back to some really traumatic experiences at the start of my study of German... You don't have to be worried, though - it had nothing to do with the language itself, but with the company in which I was doing it. And my own mental state, I suppose.

Ich weiß nicht, ob das wird helfen, aber vielleicht kriegst du ein bisschen Motivation, wenn ich hier nur Deutsch schreibe. Ich glaube, du kannst sagen, ob du das verstanden hast.

Dative pronouns on Duolingo, that was confusing, the book only gave one example of a dative pronoun so I'm not very well prepared to completely understand them. Arrg... __________________ Wir sind was wir sind English We are what we are MDD w/psychotic features, BPD |

Ich weiße nicht, warum du sie brauchst. Auf jeden Fall, sie sind "mir, dir, ihm, ihr, uns, euch, Ihnen, ihnen"... Und ein Beispiel (oder mehrere) wird dir nicht helfen. Es gibt keine einfache Erklärung für wie man sie benutzt. Als ein Beispiel, "helfen" benutzt man mit dem Dativ. Warum? Weil man tut es.

This week I haven't had a chance to work out of the book because I've been busy all week. Had to stay at my Dads for 3 days and forgot my book, so I'll start back up in it tomorrow. __________________ Wir sind was wir sind English We are what we are MDD w/psychotic features, BPD |

This is actually really hard. Not only do I not have a perfect grasp of German, but I'm also trying not to overwhelm you with... difficult stuff. Wir sollten doch nicht aufgeben!
Ich bin mit dem Mann im lateinischen Video derselber Meinung (of the same opinion): wenn dein Buch nicht zumindest (at least) so viel Deutsch als Englisch enthält (contains), verschwindet (wastes) es deine Zeit. Imitation ist ein der wichtigsten Teile (parts) des Sprachenlernen, und dafür muss man genug (enough) Beispiele (examples) haben zum Imitieren. Meinerseits (as for me) habe ich gerade (just now) Englisch und Russisch von meinen Google Einstellungen (settings) entfernt (removed). Unglücklicherweise (unfortunately, from Glück - "luck") gibt es keine Option um Walisisch (Welsh, as I've just learned) hinzufügen (add)... Aber es ist doch ziemlich spannend (exciting) - die Sicherheit (safety, security) meiner Regionsprache und die der lingua franca zu verlassen (leave). __________________ Social anxiety and possible Aspergers (undiagnosed, but it helps to let you know to more quickly find a common ground).
