I’m taking part in a lunchtime discussion programme on Radio Cymru today called Hanner Call.

It is being broadcast at 12.30 and there will be a contribution from @Nicky as well.

Wow that’s great. That’s one I try to listen to regularly (in catchup mode, iplayer/Sounds, not live), so great to have a(n even more) familiar voice (or two) on there! :slight_smile:

I had rather a nice surprise listening to this. Usually, I can pick out quite a few words but not full sentences at all.
This time I realised that even though I didn’t identify sentences, I was able to understand the gist of the program and didn’t find it difficult to listen to the speakers. In fact I listened to the whole program twice! All the voices were interesting and I actually wanted to listen to find out what was going on.
So, even though I didn’t understand some of the points, the gist was much better than usual. (If that’s how to spell gist?!)
I am hoping this means I am making progress! :slightly_smiling_face:

Definitely making progress @annmoore! Every time you listen to some Welsh, you’ll be increasing your understanding and making another step towards your goal. :star2:

Interesting word:

Welsh equivalent seems to be “sylwedd”.

I’ve got friends on the inner walls now! It’s all part of my 5 step program to overthrow the BBC. Hoping for a Summer 2020 total shutdown and takeover :rofl:

Indeed. We’ve been working pretty hard on her new venture for the last fortnight or so back and forth, there were 80 people signed up before going on Heno last night, so I dread to look at the inbox to see how many have signed up since!! :smiley:
