Hi Catrina I’m at Lesson 20 Level 1 and I can’t make head or tail out of how to use the forum and Soundcloud to ask my question

Hi Pam!
Here’s an explanation of how to work your way through the Speaking Practice tasks, I really hope it helps to guide you through the stages.
You’ve seen a coloured tag on someone’s post, and you’re wondering what it’s all about…
So here’s the deal…
You have to start with PINK.
If they have a PINK badge, it’s because they’ve said out loud a set of sentences they made up for themselves from a collection of prompt words - details here:
The ‘5 Minutes’ Test Going Pink
Once you have PINK, you can move up to RED.
If they have a RED badge, it’s because they then recorded those sentences in Welsh on SoundCloud, and then posted a link to it in the relevant thread on the forum - details here:
The ‘5 Minutes’ Test - SoundCloud ‘Sentences’ recording Pink to Red
Once you have RED, you can push on to GREEN.
If they have a GREEN badge, it’s because they posted a QUESTION in Welsh on SoundCloud, and then posted a link to it in the relevant thread on the forum - details here:
Going GREEN - SoundCloud ‘Question’ recording Red to Green
Once you have GREEN, you can step up to BLUE.
And if they have a BLUE badge, it’s because they’ve ANSWERED someone else’s question (from the Going Green thread) in Welsh, on SoundCloud, and then posted a link to it in the relevant thread on the forum - details here:
Going BLUE - SoundCloud ‘Answer’ recording Green to Blue
Please don’t post your recordings in this thread or post them in new threads as it can become confusing and difficult to keep track of progress - diolch.
And beyond this…?
You’ll find out before too long…

Hi Pam, I’m sorry you’re having problems finding your way around the forum. It may take a little while to get used to the layout and how to get to where you want to. But once you’ve spent a little time exploring, you’ll find it quite user friendly and you’ll be familiar with how to find what you’re looking for and how to post in no time.
If you have a look at my post above this one, you’ll find a description (including links) of how to get to grips with working your way through the Speaking Practice challenges. I hope it helps, but please let us know if you have any further problems. You’ll find the forum friendly and helpful.

Bore da!
Sorry that no badges were awarded yesterday - it was Bank Holiday here in the UK. Your new Speaking Practice badges are on their way today!
. Does it take a while to change as we’re still green?
