Bore da, Bawb! Who would like a Welsh practice session during morning coffee break? At work or at home! I'll run one on Zoom once a week, and you can pop in for 5 minutes / an hour according to your break. Favourite and boost if you're interested!
I'll run a poll to find the best times / days, and it'll be open to all levels, even if you just want to sit in the background and listen.
Any questions?
@dailywelsh Dwi methu cymryd rhan, ond yn hapus i bŵstio.
@siaronj Trueni (am methu cymryd rhan) ond diolch (am fŵstio).
Byddai Diolch (am beidio cymryd rhan) a trueni ( am fŵstio) yn dŵt gwahanol iawn...
@dailywelsh Dwi methu cymryd rhan heddiw.
@nicolaallan Mae'n iawn, Nicola - dwi ddim yn rhedeg y sesiwn heddiw. Wi'n moyn (eisiau) rhedeg sesiwn 'drop-in' bob wythnos. Ond pan mae'r plant yn yr ysgol!
@dailywelsh dw i'n athrawes. Byddaf yn yr ysgol wythnos nesaf.
'Amser coffi' may be at the wrong time.
@nicolaallan As a teacher, I bet nearly all opportunities are 'at the wrong time' - ie, time when you have something more pressing like preparation, or finally being able to relax... If you have snapchat, you could join my 'long conversation'. Literally a conversation one voice snap at a time. Let me know if that might be useful!
@dailywelsh that sounds helpful. How do I try that?
@nicolaallan Do you use snapchat at all? If not, you'll need to download the app onto your phone, and create an account. Then search for 'DailyWelsh' and friend me. write a snap if you want, or just jump in and send me a voice message (by holding down the mic icon in the message box). I usually say 'say one thing and ask one question', which helps conversation, but there are no rules, really. Just like a real-life conversation, but slower. Wait for my reply, and answer when you're ready...
@dailywelsh I will try that.
@nicolaallan @dailywelsh Syniad gwych!
@dailywelsh sounds good thanks. My beginners Welsh all comes from Duo Lingo so not wildly practical and I really need some real life conversations to help apply it. What level are you thinking of pitching it at?
Great question: @RHD It's open to all levels. I'm going to try a system of everyone putting a number in their name (1 - don't talk to me, I'm just listening, 3 - I can talk. but may not make sense and misunderstand totally, 4 - I'm [fairly] comfortable) so everyone can take part. The important thing is that no-one is afraid of embarrassment, and everyone gets value. If everyone's a 1 on the first call, I'll just talk to myself for half an hour. It won't be the first time...
@RHD @dailywelsh That’s a really good idea! Most of my Welsh learning is from Duo or books and tŵts so being able to listen to conversational Welsh would be a huge help. Diolch!
@dailywelsh Diolch. I’m probably 3, as in, I can talk a bit but not necessarily about what I want to talk about and am most likely to not make sense or understand!
@RHD That's my French level right there - I feel your frustration, but will also raise you the excitement of when it *does* work!
@dailywelsh - Yes I'm interested.
@elwyn Gwych! Watch this space!
@dailywelsh Diolch! I need to listen and be "immersed" so I can get beyond Duolingo and the wonderful, seigedelig "Daf y Gath" stories https://mentraudafygath.cymru/
@Henrysbridge We can do lots of Secedelig mind...
@dailywelsh Dwi'n siarad Cymraeg fel manwel o Faulty Towers. (Byddai manwel y cymro yn dweud 'Be?' nid 'Que?')
Fy mhroblem fawr i yw alla i ddim siarad bolocs yn Cymraeg
@mglewis Coffi bore amdani, de. Dwi'n siarad mwy o B***cs na Welsh Bol***s ei hunan...
@dailywelsh Bydd hyn yn amêsing os bydd amser 'da fi.
@Jhynjhiruu Mae lot wedi ateb etc, felly bydd coffi bore yn digwydd! Wi'n meddwl rhedeg sesiwn wythnosol-ish, felly gobeithio bydd amser gyda ti rhywbryd.
@dailywelsh it would probably be a lunchtime at the end of the week for me
@HChard OK - I'll be asking about the best slot, and may vary the slot or the day from week to week, so keep your eyes peeled!
@dailywelsh Syniad da, diolch. Unrhyw dydd, basai well gyda fi ar ôl 11 yn y bore
@Sabine OK - wi'n gobeithio gallu rhedeg sesiynau ar wahanol amser ar wahanol wythnosau, ond bydd angen gweithio'r 'logistics' mas!
