I was thinking of it being a bit more general kind of thing. I imagine you would have a ‘feel’ for where each person’s question would fit in? There could be a ‘disclaimer’ saying that the vocab used was not necessarily in the course?
It might also help people understand the other types of things they could say with the patterns learned?
I was just going through the Speaking Practices and became a bit frustrated because I couldn’t find the one I was looking for. Do you think they should have more descriptive titles eg?
SIMPLE - Mynd i dafarn - from Andy (Currently doing Level 3)
The bank of what are now becoming real conversations is getting big, and it might help newcomers choose which ones they would like to have a go at first - and those wanting to answer to find the ones they want to try/have the ability to answer?
Just a thought…

EDIT: Actually, I wonder if the title should be all in English:
SIMPLE - Going to the pub - from Andy (Currently doing Level 3)
I like this idea. As I said in somewhere in another thread, I’m having to keep a hand-written list of who asked what. Usually I see a question, don’t have time to answer it right then, record an answer later and then can’t find the question again to post my reply! Well, I find it eventually, but it takes some searching now that people are asking further questions.
I was wondering about that too, so I’ve just edited my titles to add clues to the questions (in Welsh - before I saw your edit!). See if you think that works
Heads up - this isn’t the right solution, I’m afraid - because it’s particularly important that people are getting their information from the question itself - ie, this is (key) listening practice.
Comes under the general heading of ‘desirable difficulty’. So we need a different idea for ‘searchability’ - which may have some overlap with the fact that we probably also need some kind of fine-tuned solution for threads that turn into extended discussions…
Should this apply to the names of the tracks in SoundCloud as well?
I’ve named most of my tracks according to the topic, e.g. one of them is called Lle fasech chi eisiau byw. That’s not visible from the thread list but it is visible from the post (in the embedded SoundCloud widget thingy) even without starting playback:
Should sound tracks used for questions also have neutral names, e.g. “Philip’s question 4”, and/or one-Welsh-word names?
