Speaking practice!

[alexandra88888]

Hello everyone!
I really want to start using the little knowledge I have but I’m 17, I’m very very awkward and no one speaks Welsh where I live. Any tips?
Thank you very much.

Try joining the Welsh Speaking Practice slack groups;

How to use Slack/Welsh Speaking Practice

During this period, many of you will want to take greater advantage of our Slack communications platform to keep in touch with other learners, take part in hangouts and have opportunities to practice your Welsh. So here is an explanation of what it is and some instructions on how to get involved… Slack / WSP (Welsh Speaking Practice) Slack is an online communications platform and SSiW have a group on there called Welsh Speaking Practice (WSP). The group is open to anyone of any level who want…

Also if you’re in the UK, even outside of Wales theres probably a Welsh language group near-ish you. They might not be doing face to face activities at the moment but a lot of groups are doing virtual stuff. Try searching for your location (or places nearby) in the forum. Hope that helps

Hi @alexandra88888

Croeso, Welcome. Have you joined Welsh Speaking Practice group?..if not email admin@saysomethingin.com with Wsp in the title and they will send you an invite.

As @charlie-o says there may be a group in your area who are currently using zoom or something similar…and even if not the one good thing about the technology is that there are quite a few of these meetings going on which you can join as it doesn’t really matter where you live!

For example there is a zoom meeting on Sats at noon for learners across Yorkshire (where I live) but our most recent joiner is Huw who lives not far from Newport . We have learners at all levels and you are more than welcome if you’d like to attend.

@BronwenLewis is world famously helpful for helping people get started / or at any level via the WSP thing I mentioned above.

So there are loads of options and I’m sure one will suit you…I’ll send you the link to the Sat meeting if you’re interested - let me know.

Indeed, Bronwen is brilliant - she posted this on another thread earlier in the week -

To all frustrated SoundClouders, I’m having a Chatathon this Thursday, September 24th. It means I stay around all day, hoping people will chat to me on Slack WSP or Slack 6/6, Skype, Zoom, over the phone, or by shouting through my window. I like little chats of 3 to 30 minutes, north or south, any level, so if you need to practise your sentences or just say what you’ve learned so far to someone else, send me a private message!

Give it a try - you’ll be in very safe hands
