The '5 Minutes' Test - week 6 **Going PINK** 💮 (Badges Awarded Mondays)

[aran]

Can you look at this list of words/structures and say - out loud - a sentence for each of them?

In less than 5 minutes?

If you can, please post in here to say ‘Done it!’ so that we can shower you with praise and recognition…

If you can’t yet, it would be a GREAT idea for you to do a five minute speaking session (it doesn’t have to be in public!) every day - ideally at the same time every day, so that it becomes a habit - until you CAN get something out for all of them inside 5 minutes.

And when you CAN - come and let us know…

• I want to
• I’m going to
• I can’t
• I need
• What
• But
• I wanted
• I’ve just started
• I’ve forgotten
• I was trying
• That I need
• I must
• I’d like to

Done it - can I have my seren aur, please?
I used “dw i’n gorfod” instead of “mae’n rhaid i fi” for “I must”. I’ve never been sure of when to use which.

[Y_Ddraig_Las]

Done it.

[cat-1]

Done.

[Iestyn]

Done it. Can I have praise now?

[peterallen]

All, except ‘that I need’ as I must have missed that lesson, sigh!

[henddraig]

wedi gwneud!

Done it. Can I have praise now?

You certainly can. Da iawn ti.

@peterallen - it’s a good one to add to the collection - ‘bo fi angen’ - a very flexible and useful little structure there…

Everyone who can rattle those off in less than 5 minutes is

a) a qualified SSiW 5 Minuter

and

b) absolutely read to be having their first conversational interactions in Welsh…

[margaretnock]

Fi wedi gwneud. Done.

[HuwJones]

Done it. Can I have praise now?

As long as you didn’t use “mynd i’r dafarn” in (nearly) ever sentence like wot I did.

[philipnewton]

Done it

[Baruch]

Well, I used “yfed gwin” in most of my sentences.

[Baruch]

Did it in well under five minutes, aided by a glass of gwin coch.

[AnnaC]

Done!

[brigitte]

Done

[helenlindsay]

Done! A lot of them included Christmas food shopping, which I hate.

[Betterlatethan]

Done.

Awesome sauce Well done everyone!

I wonder if there is some way for us to tag people in the forum software to show that they have passed the 5 minute test - @tatjana, what do you reckon?
