I’m really confused by technology, but I’m also on level 21/22 and I haven’t yet earned my pink badge or swapped 5 min practice. I’m in Cymru, but I’m sure we could find a time that fits for both of us. I haven’t used Slack before, but I’m willing to give it a go…or failing that we could try on Zoom. Let me know if you found someone to swap with already though.
Sounds good to me Jane. I don’t mind waiting. I have stopped beating myself up about falling behind and am trundling along quite nicely. I’ll continue to practice my sentences and we can pick up in a few weeks. Thanks for getting in touch. Let me know when you are ready and we can arrange to zoom or phone. Whatever you like.
I’m on Level 2 week 12, and still haven’t found a speaking partner! I’m from Massachusetts, but I have pretty flexible hours. Back decades ago (I’m 62) in school when I took languages I was as shy as anyone about speaking, and that doesn’t seem to have changed!
Perhaps there is someone here who shares my interests in nature and literature.
@judy-hawkins are you a member of the Welsh Speaking Practice Slack group? There is a channel there especially for people in the American time zones, so you may have more luck trying there

Hi Judy. Looks like I’m a way behind you! Only half way through level one. So I’m not sure that I would be the right person to hook up with. It sounds like Deborah may be able to help though I hope you find someone to chat with soon. If you are completely stuck I’m happy to give it a go sometime. Best wishes Teg
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner! Would you still like to try swapping sentences? I would be happy to review the early stages! My real need is just someone who is also speaking Welsh.
If you are still interested, we could try and find a congenial schedule!
Hi agin Judy!I’m happy to give it a go if you would like to. I’m not sure what I will have to offer as I’m not on your level, but we can try it. I have already arranged to chat with someone else. I’m waiting to hear from her. I don’t want to commit to too much until I have that sorted. I have health issues and don’t want to push too hard. Maybe a couple of times a month and see how we go?? With the time difference I was thinking mid morning for you, afternoon for me? Let me know what you think. Best wishes, Teg
Hi! I’m afraid I’m quite a bit behind the curve. I need a listening partner, but I’m VERY behind on the listening assignments. I’m on week 38 of the recorded lessons, but with the listening/speaking assignments I’m only on week 20.
For a good long while I had thought the recorded lessons were all I had to do, and I’ve been playing catch-up since I realized the listening/speaking assignments were there.
Not sure if I’d be in a different situation when it comes to meeting up with a partner, given my situation? Kind of hoping for some pointers here.
