John: Ateb I Caroline [Dysgu]
First time trying this Souncloud thing so donāt know if Iāve uploaded it right but letās seeā¦ Must confess, had a few goes at recording this but the other versions were unlistenable!
bore da @Betterlatethan I guess there is somewhat more opera in Italian than in Welsh, but if your rieni yn byw yn Gymru, well, thatās the perfect excuse/reason to dysgu Cymraeg. If youāve only been learning 8 months, I am seriously impressed! Wow! Fantastisch et fantastique. Bravissimo!
Morning @PeterG Peter - without listening over and over again to your ateb, I can however say a) thank you very much for answering, b) youāre saying something about being in a band in Cardigan? c) you finished with āwhat about you?ā. Wellā¦ itās complicated. I started to learn Welsh because, having had responsibilities at work reduced considerably by new management, I needed a challenge, otherwise I was probably going to āwalkā as there was little left to get my little grey cells going. Will listen again to your fascinating story in a while - trying to make out what poor old John Peel had to do with it all. Give me 5 (or 10 or whatever!). Thanks again.
Bore da @siaronjames - not sure I got that at all, sorry! I will listen again and again and if I still donāt give you a shout for a quick translation!
Good effort, Peter!
Have you seen the guide to getting your colours? Itās here:
Pink, red, green, blue and beyond... what do they mean?
Thank you, @carolineparkinson for a question that I could understand. I should have said that my parents came (not come) from Wales, but I donāt do too well with tenses. Dad would be 104 if he were still alive! And thank you for the kind words. All credit to SSiW.

Afternoon @carolineparkinson. Your reason for learning Welsh sounds very familiar to me - apart from what I say in the Soundcloud recording, another reason was increasing mindnumbing tedium of the day job and the need to reignite those grey cells. The job hasnāt got any better but my Welsh has, hopefully!
As for the recordingā¦well, Iād had a few drinks by the time I recorded this so itās possible some of the words may be slurredā¦ Happy to help decode it if need be!
Diolch Aran! Must confess, I hadnāt read the colour-guide, noā¦ Seems Iām doing things in reverse order, then!
To be honest, when I made the recording, I didnāt really have badges in mind. Iād just seen that a lot of brave, pioneering souls had taken the plunge, Iād had a gwydraid neu ddau at the pub and thought, why not? I tried to do the 5-minute thing but my mind went blank, then I stumbled across @carolineparkinsonās question and thought, āI can answer that!ā and here we are.
Iāll see if I can do the other steps. Is there a time limit for making these recordings or can I just do them whenever I get the chance/am drunk enough to speak?
Felly, doesnāt that mean dylen i syth i glas? Apres tout, I thought I started out gyda fi ateb i Jane ddoe. Sorry, mustnāt keep using the Cymraeg in writing on the Forum. Maybe Iāll give it another go tomorrow. Sounding like a spoilt child not getting sweets or top of the class now 
First try at answering, so bare withā¦
Nope, absolutely not! And no harm at all in jumping straight in - I just wanted to make sure you didnāt miss out on your deserved colouringsā¦
If youāve done an answer and I havenāt picked up on it, just ping me in
Iām not sure this fully answers the question, but I tried and sort of lost my train of thought
Edit: I also didnāt realise how much I like to say āfellyā 
(I also apparently forgot ādauā between biti and flynedd, oops!)
Diolch Aran! I did finally get round to the 5-minute thingā¦and see Iām now badged! Now I need to think of a question to askā¦ Coming soonā¦ish.
