He was always worried that the language would die out. I have the "Catchphrase" course with record and keep promising myself that I will do a chapter per week. However, I am presently trying to do a PhD thesis and my free time is limited. A pen pal would be just the thing to spur my efforts."

Name: Mark Nodine e-mail: nodine@mcrc.mcd.mot.com level: experienced learner (he provides the Welsh course...) Background: I got interested in learning Welsh when I visited Wales in 1984 and have continued ever since. Perhaps some day I will go to the Welsh-speaking Welsh as a missionary, but such an endeavor will not come to pass until such time (if ever) as my local church recognizes an apostolic gifting in me and I find a co-laborer who is either already there or will go with me.
