She thought it was quite funny me pretending to be a lemon, still it only got her to read half of the book, but it's an improvement. The book goes back in tomorrow so she'll have a new one to read on Friday, so will see how we go from there.
Also the other half, whilst shopping today managed to find a few cheap welsh books aimed at the younger kids, so we'll have a go at them on the weekend too.

Well like you said it's a start,
I know it would take time, but could your partner translate some books from english to welsh for the 2 of you to read together? I know they wouldn't have the pictures and may not translate in quite the same way but might be an option.
The problem with translation is it always sounds totally wrong as the Welsh language uses different phrases for things compared to English, for example, in English you would ask What is your name? In Welsh it's beth ydych enw chi? Which translates to what is name you.
Would be quite tricky as you can imagine 😆

Well i'm from Bristol so lots of people talk that way anyway 😆
When they ride their tractors you mean 😆
Have also found a useful website that we can actually find books similar to what she's currently using in school. Their a little bit pricey, but with people asking what she would like for christmas then I can guide them that way 😆
Prynhawn da Baz,
Sounds like its moving in the right direction.
Where abouts in south wales are you ?
Gooner
Prynhawn da Gooner.
I'm in Torfaen, which is part of the old Gwent territory.

Prawnsn'ham to you both ( 😳 i'll get my coat )
We don't ride around on tractors any more we've moved on to actual cars now, we leave the tractors to the somerset lot 😆
You all sound the same to me 😆
She's come home with the same book again this week as she still needs a little more practice on the ll's and the 'th's so that should be fun.
She's also come home with something I can't [censored] say that she needs to practice and practice ready for the harvest festival, god help me please.

I admit the Bristolian accent is awful, I grew up in south Bristol which is the worst part for the accent aswell, however I'm very lucky not to sound like one, even though everyone else in my family (with the exception of my brother) does.
So the same book, will that mean pretending to be a lemon again?
Lime and Apple this time, so she can be a banana and the wind 😆 Aled Afal rocks though to be fair, he looses his kite in the nasty wind :ugeek:
Wow!
I didnt get much sleep last night and as a consequence i'm pretty knackered, so i'll be honest and say i skim read a few posts, but it sounds like you lot are on drugs! 😆
There's people pretending to be various citrus fruits, one guy's got wind and then there's, prawns, ham and tractors thrown in for good measure. I'm going for a lie-down! 😀
