Lovely to Skype âmeetâ everyone tonight. It was difficult to catch what was being said with the echoes, but I found it very useful to hear natural conversation, as opposed to the online courses, where one becomes accustomed to the phrases and voices

Nice of you to say ânaturalâ! Too full of gaps and wedi anghofio to be all that natural! I forgot to turn my sound down, but even when I did the echos were a bit much. Watch Anita, S4C 26/2 8.30 pm I honestly think we might do better if we threw English words in more! We are a mix of Gogledd and de Cymraeg learners with accents from Italy/Finland, Slovenia, Oxfordshire, Port Talbot, Germany⌠it isnât surprising we find it hard to understand each other! I find it very odd when I canât see @Pete2. His mouth doesnât move, so my brain says he canât be talking"

The echo was a nuisance which luckily does not happen every time (it turned out to be the XBox).
If there any words or phrases you would like to use a lot next time just right them here so everyone knows.
And thanks for being tonightâs mystery guest (whoâs next).
Cheers J.P.

Summed up very nicely!
Yes, it was just a disembodied voice (no disrespect, Pete)
I was (am) extreamly happy to see you all and especially to see âmisterious guestâ. Iâm sorry echo came in the midst of everything but it is true what @ramblingjohn says, itâs not always like this. The only âdisturbanceâ which always comes is my laughter. - haha. I also had problems with the microphone when I tried to switch from speakers/camera to Headphones but I didnât succeed to do so but I hope you were able to hear me anyway. Iâm also happy @brigitte could join us at some part also and Iâm a bit sad @philipnewton was forced to leave as the echo was too much for him. I sincerely hope next time the quality of sound will be better for all.
All in all, we were a nice company of country/regions mixture what always makes me happy.
Tan y tro nesaf!
Hwyl!

Thank you for inviting me! It was definitely an honour, although I have to admit that it was quite daunting, especially with so little experience to my name - I didnât have a clue what was being said most of the time

O, boy ⌠And we âattackedâ you with the various questions. But if you honestly didnât have the clue, then youâve made a great job pretending you know all about what weâre talking.
No, siriously You did just fine and I hope weâll be able so see you next time again. Now I just wish @aran would go straight into an âinterviewâ with you all (you, @OlwenR and @simonadeydavies ) after 6 months. I bet youâll show great improvement.

Think 6 months would be a good time to âgo on the recordâ again - Iâd certainly be interested to hear what I could do then, and it would provide an incentive to get some practice, which would most likely be limited to Skype and the occasional meet-up - what with work and my family situation I donât get much chance to meet people who speak Welsh

two weeks will be the 2nd of March 7 pm UK time, maybe Tatjana will have a new song for us by then.

Haha! Is that a new challenge for me?
Gwyl Dewi +1!!
So - âHow did you celebrate Gwyl Dewi?â (if you did!). Me, itâs mainly wearing a poor dying daffodil (cennin Pedr) held on with a âleek pinâ and watching S4C! I will try to remember to do something worth mentioning and to bring Toffiâs draenog. I will also try to remember not to give the poor draenog an extra âiâ!! - NOT draeniog!
Was someone skyping from an XBox?
Yes, I hope so, too! Iâm afraid I got frustrated a lot more quickly than I had feared and I had little control over it.

Yes. @Pete2 tried but unfortunately with not such luck as heâd probably wanted.
All in all, the conversation was still great. Iâm looking forward to next one in 14 days.

Pete talked to me from his x- box and I donât remember an echo, so,I donât know what went wrong. While i was trying various things to improve sound at my end, I got a message saying my picture was not good due to slow broadband! I nearly exclaimed, aloud, âBad luck, Skype! You try most of the west of Scotland! Round here is not bad really!â There is a scheme. It started with the islands, so I think Islay and Mull are better than mainland Argyll!
Yes very strange!!! Its always been fine before!
Maybe there was simply connection which didnât work good, who really knows.
