Intro - if you want
If you are new everyone will be totally supportive - we are all learners - or first language speakers who are there to learn and help. There is no pressure but if you want to say something people are usually very interested in a sentence or two about how far you’ve got…eg:
I’ve been learning for x weeks/ months…?
I’m learning challenge x
I live in z
I want to learn Welsh because…
Other ideas for those who want to say more…
I have been doing the north or south course
At the moment I am…eg…reading, watching TV. Listening to the radio, doing classes, other
give examples if you want

Topic…
The things that trip you up in Welsh! …could simply be a word you can never say - could be something you can never remember - or a type of thing - a tense or numbers etc etc etc
And, if you can, announce them in reverse order - 3rd place, 2nd place, first place - for some ordinal number practice.

I’ve a small challenge for those of you who were with us last week and described things that trip you up in Welsh…are you able to give a short and simple description this week of how one of those things is supposed to work (in Welsh)! …
if you weren’t there last week you could still do the above if you are happy to pick it up and run with it…tell us the thing and how it should work
Alternatively, you could say what would be in your Room 101 (something you absolutely hate)

What gift and/ or advice would you give to someone who is just about to start learning Welsh?
Feel free if you want to add something to the ‘things that trip you up in Welsh’ thread…or describing ‘how those things should work’ - which is a great way of sorting it out in your head
…or of course what would be in your Room 101 (something you absolutely hate)

Topic…
A Yes/ no game…
Come with three simple questions - which provoke an initial yes/ no answer (… in different tenses - if you can? )
Ask your questions to someone who hasn’t had a turn yet
Everyone will try to say yes or no - in the correct tense! …and, if you want / can, expand on your answer with a sentence or two… Then it’s your turn !
E.g.: Do you have a garden? Did you learn Welsh at school? Will you go on holiday this year?
