It took me slightly under six minutes because most sentences went something like: āDw i newydd ddechrau (snapped out instantely)ā¦ erā¦ what have I just started? I donāt knowā¦ erā¦ Have I just started anything recently? ā¦ erā¦ The crochet hat? No, Iāve finished one and not yet started the other. ā¦erā¦ā
Iāll try again tomorrow and this time Iāll think up some pretend activities in advance, things that I want to do, things that I canāt do, things that Iāve forgotten, etc. because this activity highlights my problem with most artificial speaking exercises that we do in class. I struggle to think of things Iāve really been doing. Next time Iāll give myself permission to be more fanciful and say things like, āDw i newydd ddechrau hyfforddi fy nraig fach!ā

Yes - thereās no need for any truth, honesty or normality in practice sentencesā¦ 
Superb - diolch, James! Iāll see if I can get that to behave itself nowā¦
[drum rollā¦ tick, tockā¦]

I am very glad you told us that, as I had assumed it when I said mine!!
ps If you tried to award me an Editor badge, something went wrong - likely I didnāt really deserve it!

I remember a Dydh Stoffya ācrammingā session during a Cornish Language Weekend (to prepare one for taking the language exam) where one teacher suggested to always use five of everything ā you have five sisters, five television sets, went on holidays five months ago, etc.! Because that way you donāt have to worry about gender or mutations
Since, as you said, the examiners are interested in seeing whether you can use the language; theyāre not necessarily interested in the truth about your personal life.

Okay, so it turned out that badges wasnāt a good fit - they donāt show in the thread, only when you click on someoneās nameā¦ but a bit of fiddling with custom groups and this little āflairā effect on the profile pic has given us something which shows up a lot more obviouslyā¦
So if youāve done the 5 minute test and said so in here, youāll have a little red speech mark on your pic - which means youāre ready to be having chats with people in Welshā¦

Interestingly enough, it doesnāt seem to be retroactive!
Eh? What?
Wedi gwneud.
Is that like doing Dad dancing at a weddingā¦?

Either my browser had been caching things (so my earlier post, that I had already seen, still lacked the āflairā while my later one, which was new to my browser) had it, or youāve been working a bit of magic

I love this Aran! Really great visual goal! I went through the list at Emma while she was eating her breakfast (does she get a āsaintā badge too?!)

Yes, that worked! Done it now in 3 minutes with the help of some flash cards to provide random nouns which which to finish the sentences.
Done it. Could we have more of these in the future?
