The '5 Min' Test- week 18 'SENTENCES' recording **Pink to Red badge** 🔴 (Awarded Mondays)

[Claudia_Beryan]

Boring - you’ve got to be kidding me! Your Welsh is fantastic! Honestly, I didn’t even understand everything you said…

[Karin_Koehler]

Diolch, Richard! That’s really nice of you!

[Claudia_Beryan]

No way…Aran, you CANNOT be serious! I really don’t deserve an advanced badge, that must have been a mistake, right?

[aran]

You’re doing SO much better than you’re willing to recognise!

[leane]

Do I get a red badge now too Aran?

[tatjana]

Claudia - it’s HIGH time for you to STOP putting yourself down, because that was a particularly excellent set of sentences - did you use no prompts at all? You had nothing written down? You were just working from memory?

If so, you are doing fantastically well - much, MUCH better than you have been thinking. You are FAR further ahead than I expected you to be by now, and the next few months are going to be hugely successful for you…

Hey @Claudia_Beryan! Don’t invent some other advanced excuse now to put yourself down, will you?

Boring - you’ve got to be kidding me! Your Welsh is fantastic! Honestly, I didn’t even understand everything you said…

Oh, ya, sure … I say even more basic hings than you do. (you said you remember just basic words, not me). For God’s sake, I don’t even remember what I’ve recorded anymore. I’ll have to listen to it but if I stated it’s boring, it surely is.

No way…Aran, you CANNOT be serious! I really don’t deserve an advanced badge, that must have been a mistake, right?

Hmmm … @aran … what if we invent something for people like Claudia? Something what would stop them from putting themselves down. Let’s say … every time she puts her down, her red badge becomes darker and darker …

[Tricia]

Diolch yn fawr iawn
Rwan, mae rhaid I mi trio i master technology. Emojis a Cymraeg. Go drappia, licwn i go drappia ond dw in isio words Newydd ready for the dreaded notorious Challenge 14. @aran

Hmmm…both our badges would become one or two shades darker right now, I’m afraid!

Don’t invent some other advanced excuse now to put yourself down, will you?

Well, now, I can hardly come up with the same beginner (noob)-reasons, can’t I? I must up my game! No, joking aside, I’m damn proud of my badge, it gives me a huge kick to see it red and shiny beside my name. I told my sons about it as soon as they came home. Brian asked: “You mean you can speak Welsh now…like REALLY speak Welsh with real Welsh people?”

I love this the most!

Well, yes, I admit this but anyway.

[Coralie]

Hope I’ve done this right!

[Karin_Koehler]

Thanks for sharing your sentences, Coralie! They sound great, and I’m enjoying the chance to practice my listening skills with some South Walian!

[Karin_Koehler]

Just to add my bit to everybody else’s very, very well-deserved praise, Claudia: I completely agree that your sentences sound excellent and more than understandable (even though I’m doing the course for the North!) You do deserve to feel much more confident!

[AlanP]

Great to hear you on here, @Coralie Your sentences are very clear. Being something of a technophobe, I can’t get past first base in recording myself - until I get some assistance this end. But very well done!

[aran]

Ahem…

[dryw_bach_1]

Here’s mine, I thought I’d done it before but then couldn’t find it. I’m a bit lost in all this technology which I’m finding even more challenging than the Cymraeg. Sorry about the Bristol accent😁

Listen to Sounds from Friday morning by Sally Dwyer #np on #SoundCloud

[daveyeg]

OK. Here is the week 9 task. Here goes…a lot of it might be wrong!

EDIT by @tatjana to make this recording appear as embed so clicking on play would give instant listen.

(I hope you don’t mind @daveyeg)

[Coralie]

Thanks Karin!

[Coralie]

Thanks Alan - I’m new to SoundCloud and Slack so it took me a while to work it all out!

[Karin_Koehler]

It sounds fantastic to me, Elizabeth!
