Next week I am heading to the UK for the first time on a family trip (super exciting!). Fortunately, I managed to convince everyone else that Wales has to be on the itinerary. I get to spend five days in Wales (definitely not long enough lol) and am looking forward to trying to speak Welsh as much as possible. Anyways, I have been learning with SSIW for a little while now and am looking for fellow Welsh learners/speakers who wouldn’t mind skyping this week with me in order to get some solid practice before I head to Wales. I just got done with my current semester at College so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I live in America so as long as I can be awake at the time you want to chat in my time zone I will try my best to make it work. I am currently about half way through Course 3 Northern, but definitely willing to chat with anyone of all levels or courses it doesn’t matter to me because it will all be helpful in the end!
Which timezone do you live in? If it’s -6 then it is 4 pm by you at the time I’m writing you this (it’s 10:16 pm here as I write). If you’re in -9 zone then it’s 1:16 at you) what both suits to me if I talk to you from 8 to 10 pm my time.
I live right by Chicago so I think I am currently -5 GMT because of daylight savings time. I think you are probably currently in +2 GMT so I think we are seven hours apart. Sorry this time zone stuff gets crazy sometimes haha. Anyways would you be free at that 8-10PM your time on either Friday or Saturday this week?
Diolch un fawr iawn Catrin for your kind words! Chatting with you has been a great help in getting me to where I am with my Welsh so thanks again and can’t wait for Cymru!
I had great chat with @Ben yesterday and I can say he’d do extreamly well in Wales. As much as I could see/hear you speak Cymraeg very well and despite my inventive language it seams you understood me perfectly so did I understood you perfectly too.
Thank you for your time and I hope we’ll speak again when you come back from Wales.
@tatjana Your Welsh is great and I had no problems understanding you so thanks for taking the time to help me out and I’ll be sure to siarad with you again once I’m back!
