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

#1

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 ā€˜Done it!ā€™ so that we can shower you with praise and recognitionā€¦:wink:

If you canā€™t yet, it would be a GREAT idea for you to do a five minute speaking session (it doesnā€™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 knowā€¦ :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :star: :star2:

Done it - can I have my seren aur, please?
I used ā€œdw iā€™n gorfodā€ instead of ā€œmaeā€™n rhaid i fiā€ for ā€œI mustā€. Iā€™ve never been sure of when to use which.

#3

Done it.

#4

Done. :panda_face:

#5

Done it. Can I have praise now?

:blush:

#6

All, except ā€˜that I needā€™ as I must have missed that lesson, sigh!

#7

wedi gwneud!

#8

You certainly can. Da iawn ti. :slight_smile:

@peterallen - itā€™s a good one to add to the collection - ā€˜bo fi angenā€™ - a very flexible and useful little structure thereā€¦ :slight_smile:

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 Welshā€¦ :slight_smile:

#9

Fi wedi gwneud. Done.

#10

Done it. Can I have praise now?

As long as you didnā€™t use ā€œmynd iā€™r dafarnā€ in (nearly) ever sentence like wot I did. :laughing:

#11

Done it :slight_smile:

#12

Well, I used ā€œyfed gwinā€ in most of my sentences.

#13

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

#14

Done! :relaxed:

#15

Done

#16

Gwnaethpwyd

#17

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

#18

Done.

#19

Awesome sauce :sunny: 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? :slight_smile:

#20
