Sgwrs 21 (Advanced Content) Spoiler Alert!

So, much less time available this week and my backstop option of listening in the car wasn’t the solution it usually is, as with the noise in the car it was a bit tricky to hear - not a problem as headphones around the house did the trick - in the end.

Other areas when talking about becoming an architect and the Llety Arall project, there were simply, quite a few words that were new or new-ish. Couldn’t conjure them up whilst listening - the transcript and lookup s came to the rescue. So once more, one to be put down to experience.

I have seen recently that a person uses 5 to 10 thousand words a day from a pallet of 20 to 30 thousand :open_mouth: . I guess I need to listen to as much as possible otherwise it could take a while :smile: I’m trying to listen to more Radio Cymru now which pleasingly, seems more within reach. Dal ati!

I thought this Sgwrs was very interesting in all sorts of ways - chav In Welsh is er, chav, and I know the question in MacDonalds in Caernarfon now! Just need to perfect my reply, ”Mac mawr pryd o fwyd gyda…

It was great.

Thank you once again.
