The beautiful Cat, voice of the southern SSiW course, will be on Prynhawn Da this afternoon, talking about how learning Welsh has changed her life. The programme is on S4C from 14:05, and will be available on catch-up sometime after 15:00
Actually, that gives you a double dose of SSiWers today, because I’ve just spotted that Nicky (Learner of the Year finalist and all round hero) will be on Radio Cymru with Gary Owen some time after 13:00. There’s your early afternoon sorted then!
Without doing a spoiler, I’ve already recorded my part - I did mention SSIW, hope it survives the cut!!
If you are down at the studio with Cat, enjoy it! I had a whale of a time! Was so cool to see how they actually put the programme together (i.e all the chats being live, but the cutaways and stuff being filmed earlier on!) - How the producers pull the programme together is amazing, as you’ll see!
I believe so. After the nuclear mud, they will be talking about Welsh for Adults new “Siarad” programme… which is incredibly similar to my Adopt a Learner programme
I’ll catch Cat on Clic tonight. It’ll be nice to see how much I can understand when it’s a voice I’m already familiar with. I hope she spoke s-l-o-w-l-y and CLEARLY for us learners!
Thanks to @Nicky for the link. It was lovely to see and hear the “beautiful Cat” talking with such clarity and composure. Is it possible that her Welsh is now better than Iestyn’s?
I was interested to learn about her new venture Glawrious and I wish her “pob lwc” with this.
Wow thanks for the link Nicky. That was the first tv yn Cymraeg that I basically followed all the way through and understood. Very motivational talk from Cat and nice to put a face to a name (and voice haha) .
I’m so happy to see you and to hear about your new business to start. Pob lwc! . And … thank you for all. Because of you also I still am here around learning and speaking Welsh (well to be honest, more thinking in Welsh than speaking though).
Thanks all! I really enjoyed filming it - everyone in the studio is so friendly.
I may have gone a little heavy on a conversation with the researcher about how amazing our learners are and that she only needs to join the forum to be inspired by all manner of stories! They’re keen to get more learners on to the show and said they’re keen to keep in touch - this could be a stepping stone to fame for many of you
Pepole are cruising allover my little country and I don’t believe there’s no one from Wales and also I believe the BBC Cymru and S4C people for that matter are among them but I doubt they’d be keen to engage with one single lonely woman in one really little country who has actually nothing to contribute to any cause regarding Welsh languag but the solely that one of speaking it.
And yes, well done once again. I enjoyed listening to you and I (believe) understood more or less everything. I’d wish more of you appearing elswhere on TV or radio. I am also very happy I could see this on International ground.
