Aaaargh, @sandralaslett, donā€™t say that. When I was just saying the sentences aloud to myself, I thought they sounded fine, but when I played back my recording, I noticed lots of faults. It took me a few goes before I was partly satisfied. I find that recording and playing back sentences is really useful, even if you donā€™t necessarily post them on the forum. I couldnā€™t find any recordings by you but I bet youā€™re much better than you think.

Thanks for the tip! Iā€™ve just recorded some sentences (definitely not for sharing!) and see what you mean about spotting mistakes. Sounds odd with a Devon accent too. :slightly_smiling_face: Dw i angen ymarfer siarad mwy!

I donā€™t think my recording was attached doh! I tried to send it directly through my phones recorder. Is this possible? If not, will I need to subscribe to soundcloud to send it to you? Diolch :blush::+1:

There are some other methods, but the forum software works well with SoundCloud. Yes, if you subscribe for free to SoundCloud, then click on Update and find the file of your recording, youā€™ll be able to get it into SoundCloud, then click on Share and get the link to paste in here.

So Iā€™ve just done the 5 minute challenge.
By far the hardest thing for me was spending the last two evenings trying how to work out how to use Soundcloud and post it on here :weary:
Iā€™ve got a terrible feeling at the end of my recording thereā€™s going to be a song in Arabic that Iā€™ve no idea how it got on there and Iā€™ve even less idea how to delete itā€¦ my apologies! :see_no_evil:

(Edit: the song wasnā€™t on there thank goodness :innocent: :joy: )

Here are my first sentences I have recorded, I hope they are not too bad. I tried to keep it flowing and was trying not to run out of sentences :rofl: https://soundcloud.com/supercrj123/my-welsh-sentences-1

Bit of a breakdown in the middle, and Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™m getting ā€œhelp meā€ wrong but here goes:
