OK This is my feeble attempt.

TBH it was only my practice session but Iā€™m not confident in navigating the murky waters of my new Soundcloud account again this evening ("Add an e-mail address, not that one, you have already added it, add another one, aaaaargh!) :tired_face:

Hopefully my next step will be better.

PS donā€™t laugh at my pronunciation of ā€œSoundcloudā€. How do you say that in Cymraeg, without making an ow sound? :slight_smile:

That sounds really clear to me so I wouldnā€™t worry. I did a few recordings on the bed that sounded ok then went downstairs and did one in the kitchen which sounded really echoey so maybe thatā€™s why. Too many hard surfaces causing echoes maybe?

Hi Margaret, just to add that I am thinking of you at this difficult time. John.

Here it is ( I hope).
If it works, it is only Tatjanaā€™s merit. Without her help, I hadnā€™t been able to do it. (It was not the Welsh bit, but the Tech side that made me crazy)

YAY! YOU DID IT! I knew you would!

Thank you, but it was all made by you yourself. Iā€™ve just told you a few things and thatā€™s all. :slight_smile:

Hmmm ā€¦ Maybe it is the time for me to record something too. ā€¦ :slight_smile:

Well, that was scary! This is take number a zillion because I kept forgetting to do things like press the record button. It was hard thinking of endings for all those sentences - I figured I wouldnā€™t get away with just saying ā€˜rhywbethā€™ after everythingā€¦

I see what youā€™re doing here Aran - raising the bar just a bit higher each time, and getting us to get out there and use our Welsh more! Wellā€¦ chwarae teg! That was actually brilliant. Painful, but very helpful. Hopefully this is not as painful to listen to as it was to do!

I must say that I sound very stilted. My first sentence comes out ok, then my brain slows down - something similar to what happens when answering the 2nd half of those long translations in the challenges. Hopefully things will improve with time.

Thatā€™s exactly the point of itā€¦ :slight_smile:

Donā€™t worry - itā€™s the same process for everyoneā€¦ :slight_smile:

Itā€™s so weird to record yourself and think on the hop. Iā€™ve just made a video in English (Maeā€™n llwytho i YouTube rwan @aran) and itā€™s so weird to speak to a camera or recorder.
