I hope somone joined you, @johnwilliams_6.
It was great to meet @jane-b on Zoom. @bethan-williams-1 and I were impressed by how much she, as a relatively new learner, was able to say. More importantly - how willing she was to have a go. See you on Tuesday!

Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Diolch

Helo bawb - are you all happy to keep our Friday Broad Meadow face to face meetups going (weather permitting, of course) bearing in mind that Covid is still around? We’ll keep the current arrangement for this week but we can be open to making changes as we move into August if that’s what people prefer :slightly_smiling_face:

  • 12:00 Tuesday 27th July / dydd Mawrth 27ain Gorffenaf (via Zoom - let me know if you need the login details)
  • 12:00 Friday 30th July / dydd Gwener 30ain Gorffenaf (‘Broad Meadow’ - opposite Balliol College)

Do let me know if you’ve any questions or suggestions (and also keep an eye on the Oxford Walks thread for news of next weekend’s walk) :slightly_smiling_face:
Hwyl a chadw’n saff

Hi. Sorry, I seem to have missed a lot the messages, I’m not sure how. I wasn’t able to make last week, sorry I didn’t let you know, I’m glad you didn’t end up on your own John. I am back at work in Oxford so it would be lovely to meet in Broad Meadow on Friday. Jane, I am doing the North Wales Say Something in Welsh and am only on challenge 22 so we are close in our learning journey.

Hi Heather,
Oh that’s really good to know :smiley: I am trying to catch up as I fell a bit behind a couple of weeks ago! (Not sure the last couple have ‘gone in’ properly - I think I’ve tried to rush them a bit).
I will be available for the zoom tomorrow and would love to meet up one Friday but this one is looking rather uncertain and then the next one would probably be 27th August.

Hi Heather, it was so lovely to ‘meet’ you on zoom. I hope you didn’t get too wet! (So glad you said you think you should be able to say something - but my brain goes blank and I can actually see the tumbleweed rolling about!) Hope to meet you really at some point.

I have just had my Mynediad speaking exam result back - I passed - 217/220! (I forgot what Builder was in Welsh :woman_facepalming: )

A big thank you to SSIW and all my Rhydychen Welshies for the help and practice.

It was lovely to meet you all on zoom, what a great group. :slightly_smiling_face: Rhaid i mi … find a quiet, dry place to dial in. I’m not sure what the weather is going to do on Friday but I will look out for updates to see if the meet will be in Oxford or on zoom.

Da iawn Ruth. Congratulations.

Well done Ruth - I don’t know the Welsh for builder either! Was that a WJEC exam? I get a bit confused about all the different courses & qualifications.

Neis cyfarfod â chi ddoe Heather and Jane. I can confirm that the words do start to come more easily as time goes on…

It’s entry level of the course run by Dysgu Cymraeg. I think they are their own exam body, so not WJEC.

Who are you doing it with, Bethan? I am doing Uwch 2 part 1 with Cardiff. 2 hours a week for a year. Moving into the slow lane after the intensive courses. No exams for me either.
