P.S You should add Gaeilge, Manx and Cornish into the mix and get the full Celtic experience lol
Eek Welsh lol
Spent the first ten years or so of my life taking obligatory Welsh lesson. I can loosely pronounce most place names, count to ten, say some colours, and the odd greeting. Lost all the rest. Every now and then I wish I could speak my 'mother tongue'. How's it been going?

Start to read some childrens' books or - even better - listen to them as audiobooks. With the basis you already have, it should be enough to "force" your brain to use what it already knows by regular exposure. After several weeks, it should start to come back again.
Ii is a valuable language to keep. As a Slav have me difficulties with Celtic grammar but find it very fastinating. The reverse logic is quite mind-blowing to me.Oh, no it's pretty far gone lol I should just get my nephews to teach me, they still live there and have a fairly good basis. The thing is, I will never use it day to day and so I won't really ever practice or refine it very much. But it would be nice to have. Then again, I'm not one for national identity. I'm Welsh only when I remember lol
Try to get "The Hobbit" in Welsh as audio and listen to it while driving. With a text you know and love it should start to come back after you listen to it several times.
Oh, he could always have his nephew translate and record it for him. A worthy project. If they would start now, they should be ready for Christmas? But regrettably he is a deleted member now.Hmm. The Hobbit has been translated into Irish, Breton, and Cornish -- and Galician -- but no other Celtic languages. Not even Welsh.
