Volunteer '5 Minute' Listeners

Hi @ruth-pargeter-down

Are you signed up to Welsh Speaking Practice on Slack?.. As there will probably be others in your exact situation looking for partners.

If not send email to admin@saysomethingin.com with WSP in the title and you’ll get an invite.

I’m happy to chat with people who are short of a partner.

Hi Ruth - I’ve been very good at the weekly challenges, apart from the contacting people and speaking for 5 minutes here! I’d be happy to swap some chatting with you once I get my 5 minutes worth sorted out!

I have 1st language friends and work colleagues who I’ve been practicing on, but it would be good to work with someone on the course at the same level.
Let me know if you fancy swapping sentences!

Diolch yn fawr,
Sarah

Sarah eto!

I’m doing the S course by the way!

Hi Rich

Thank you for your reply and offer of help.

I think I’ve found a partner now.

Kind regards

Ruth

Hi Sarah

That would be great to practise with each other. I’m doing North but if you’re happy with that we can arrange a time.

Let me know.

Kind regards

Ruth

This fabulous message from Bronwen may be of interest to some of you in this thread…

Hi Ruth, great! I’ve just got to work out how to use Sound Cloud and I’ll get my sentences done.

Speak soon,

Sarah

Hello I need a listener please.

I sent you a private message!

Thank you Bronwen I’d like to practice. I’ve sent a message I hope it’s in the right place.

I would be grateful for someone to listen to my sentences for challenge 19 level 1. If I have to DM you can you tell me please what that means and how I do it. Diolch yn fawr

To DM (direct message - also called PM, private message) someone, click on their picture and then click on the blue “message” button at the top right and write your message. The forum is open and searchable to anyone whereas DM/PMs are only between the people involved, so much safer for discussing phone numbers, emails, etc. :slight_smile:

PS - when you receive a DM/PM, a green dot appears next to your picture in the top bar - click on your picture, and then on the little grey envelope icon to see your messages.

Noswaith dda pawb. I’m looking for someone to listen to my practice sentences from the Week 20 exercise. I’m just finishing Level 1 but only now finding the time (and confidence to be honest) to try these out. I can use Zoom or Teams if anyone is available to help. Diolch.

Great. Just let me know when you’re ready to start.

Hi Rich,
Many thanks for the reply. I think I’ve found someone now and I’m messaging them this evening. Is there a Welsh Speaking Practice group on Slack and if so how can I sign up to it. I’m trying to increase my time spent speaking Welsh with others as this is the one thing that I’m finding it difficult to get going at the moment.
Regards,
Neil

Hello from South Gower. Few Welsh speakers here, so I’d be grateful if someone could listen to my attempts! I am also happy to listen to other people’s efforts… Look forward to hearing from someone. All the best Andrew

Hello Andrew
I’m also looking for a partner
