Tiān arwrā¦
Wff, whatās going on?! Things have moved quickly since last time I looked! I meant to do this now that the guy who shares my office has gone out for lunch - but are we on to the next thing now?
Maybe Iāll do it anyway.
No, no, you need to go up through the steps, so itās āas you wereā and ādonāt worry!āā¦
OK then, hereās my offering. (Wps, ānewydd ddechrauā got stranded somehow in the middle, but Iām not doing it again!)
I think thatās the one thatās made me laugh most so farā¦ ābut heās from China!āā¦
Note to all - no need to talk FOR five minutes - the point is to get through the list of starter words in LESS than five minutesā¦
I did this on my desktop using my camera mic and it worked but I did it a while ago (not that long ago though) but when I tried to do this today, I canāt find the feature either so Iāve asked SoundCloud support if they maybe didnāt put the feature away. Hopefully not and they just put it somewhere else than when it was before. However, they re-designed the pages a bit so it also migh tbe they took the feature off for a while or (hopefully not) temporarly. When I get the answer form their support Iāll post here what theyāve told me. I was so looking forward to make my recording this way.
It is/was great feature as you could do recording over and over again until you werenāt satisfied and post it to your profile being also able to give the recording proper things like title, tags, putting it into playlist if wanted etc ā¦
@philipnewton with Audacity if you download proper plug-in which you can find on their page, you can save your recordings into mp3, ogg, and many more aswell. I remember Iāve written about how to instal such plug-in here on this forum ā¦let me find this ā¦ Aha, Iāve created the pdf guide on this here. Itās one of my earliest "how to " guides so I hope it helps.
lots of Gogs representing, from what Iāve heard so far. Fair play Goggos
Hoping to bump up the Hwntw count (with possible a smattering of Rheged and Brigante) as soon as I can check out the soundcloud technology.
I havenāt counted but I think we hwntws are fairly well represented. Beth amdana ti / what about you @Nicky?
Hereās my recording of the 5 minute test. Iām mostly using SSiW in bed at night, subvocalising or whispering the Welsh, so speaking out loud and hearing myself siarad cymraeg is still feeling refreshingly weird. Hope you donāt mind my ample amount of um-ing and ah-ing.
Da iawn! This is a really successful step forwards! Languages are always better out loud (said the definition of an extrovert )
Okay, hereās my extremely boring recording. My ability to make longer or more interesting sentences completely disappeared when the record button was pushed! I didnāt let myself listen to anyone elseās recording until after I recorded mine.
Boring is in the ear of the listener! I think we have all felt the same (maybe this is part of Aranās cunning plan - after weāve done this conversations with context may well be much easier )
Dw iān meddwl boāti 'di gwneud yn dda iawn, not boring at all!
I think we are all feeling more or less like fish out of water, but then againā¦ ādesirable difficultyā, eh?
(And also da iawn for upping the hwntw score )
Diolch, @Hendrik and @AnthonyCusack! Yes, I was wondering why everyone was speaking Gog when I first started listening to the recordings, but it got a bit better as I progressed down the thread. Hŵre for hwntws
Superb work, Hendrik, Anna - welcome back your redā¦
Peidwch chwerthin / No laughing!
That was awful, but there should also be a nice recording of my old church choir on my soundcloud to make up for it!
Da iawn ti - llongyfarchiadau!
Done!
Llongyfarchiadau!
Wow, youāre doing BRILLIANTLY!
