Where blas. differs
SSiW is excellent for speaking. These are the places where blas. fills in what audio-only cannot reach.
Reading and writing
Graded reading passages from A1 to C1 with comprehension questions. Writing exercises tied to grammar.
Treigladau drilling
Soft, nasal, and aspirate mutations drilled with the triggers visible, not memorised in passing.
Grammar explained
Conjugation, sentence patterns, and mutations explained on screen, not deduced from listening.
Visual learning surface
On-screen text, conjugation tables, and progress tracking. Useful when you are not in a place to talk out loud.
Try a Welsh mutation drill
This is the kind of focused, on-screen practice an audio course cannot offer. Treigladau drills that target what trips Welsh learners up.
Every answer uses spaced repetition. Get it wrong and it comes back sooner.
