Hi Ann, please donā€™t be so hard on yourself. It is really good and far better than I managed. Itā€™s always nerve-wracking I know. But it sounds like you are definitely on the right track. Donā€™t worry and try to relax and enjoy. You really are doing fine! :hugs:

Brilliant - youā€™re putting yourself through exactly the right kind of pain - and youā€™re solving that extra difficulty at this stage, which means youā€™re going to be better prepared for the step of talking to other peopleā€¦ :star: :star2:

For me, Soundcloud was the start to me actually talking Welsh. Even though I sounded terrible compared to everyone else, it gave me the confidence to have a go.

Also it helped me to find my way around Windows 10 :grin:

Thank you :slight_smile:ļø Iā€™m lucky to live in Wales, and hear it spoken a lot, so that may be a big help with pronouncing many things. Iā€™m still too much of a coward to try it out in the wild though lol

Hope this is ok! The technology of SoundCloud is more tricky than actually learning the language :wink:

Thank you. I canā€™t work out how to stop it autoplaying music after Iā€™ve listened to myself. Technology grrrr lol.
