I don't have the spelling mistakes problem, but that's probably because welsh spelling, while highly phonetic and sensible, is also very, very different from english spelling because the letters sound different. But it was hilarious when my mum tried to learn welsh and kept pronouncing it with a spanish accent, and/or substituting similar sounding spanish words for welsh ones with hilarious results, like, say, "I am handsome!" (instead of "I am proud.")
To be honest, I feel less and less bilingual, though I think that's largely self-consciousness at work.
And thanks for the luck. Yesterday was pretty much a write-off (hur hur no pun intended) but I intend to try again this evening. :)
