The '5 Minutes' Test - week 6 **Going PINK** šŸ’® (Badges Awarded Mondays)

Yeay! I did it! The welsh words actually came out of my mouth without prompting or peeking, and proper sentences! Needed a couple of practices to get them all in within the 5 minutes, but was well worth the effort. Da iawn fi :sunglasses:

Now to try with an actual person…

Done it, I have completed the 5 minute test and I feel as good as if had I just just run up Snowdon backwards!

Done it! Although quite a few of my sentences were rehashes of the challenges. I need to develop my vocabulary more.
On the other hand, I am amazed at how much I have learnt in only 3 weeks!!

Done it :-)[quote=ā€œmikeellwood, post:1, topic:11254, full:trueā€]
Described as ā€œa taut political thriller in six parts.ā€

Nigel Baldwin - Burnt - Radio 4 Extra

It started yesterday (28.02.2018) and runs daily, repeated several times, and available on iPlayer Radio for up to 30 days.

It won’t be up everyone’s street, but if you are a dinosaur like me who still enjoys radio drama, especially thriller type escapist stuff, then it might be for you. I say ā€œnot Welshā€, but there was a sprinkling of authentic-sounding Welsh in the 2 episodes I’ve heard so far.

It comes from 1990, so a bit dated (but then, I still like ā€œPaul Templeā€, and some of those are from the 1940s!).

It stars Dennis Waterman, who is clearly not Welsh, but also features Richard Elfyn and ā€œMichaelā€ Povey, and other actors whose names I don’t know, but mostly look like Welsh names.

In the car… sitting at McDonald’s. I confess ā€œMae rhaid i fi fwyta byrgyrā€ and ā€œdw i’n moyn mynd i’r dafarnā€ might have made an appearance…

So do I!! And I’m 35! I’ve downloaded many of the Peter Coke / Marjory Westbury episodes and listen to them before bed at night. The remakes with Crawford Logan are quite good, but I just can’t get used to him because Peter Coke is Paul Temple for me!

I think I may have posted this in the wrong place

This thread is just for people to say when they’ve managed to say their sentences to themselves withint 5 minutes. Once you get to recording them, this is where it should be @phlipper
