Session 2: Connection and Interaction

How this session works

Rhythm: Digital pre-work → Live session → Light homework or social application

This is designed to feel low pressure. Small steps count.

Session aim: Feel more confident introducing yourself and having a tiny “hello” interaction.

How we’ll do this: Repeat-and-build practice, friendly prompts, and optional pair activities.

What we’ll cover: Names, where you live, and simple question and answer patterns.

Outcome (plain English): You can do a short intro without overthinking it.

How to use this page: Use Previous and Next to move through the steps. Low time or low energy? Do Get Ready only.

Step 1: Get Ready

Watch: the “Meeting New People” video (shared by your facilitator).

Try these once:

  • Dw i’n … (I’m …)
  • Dw i’n byw yn … (I live in …)
  • Sut wyt ti? (How are you?)

If you have a bit more time: say your intro in three chunks: Shwmae, Dw i’n …, Dw i’n byw yn …

Step 2: Live session

  • Warm-up greetings.
  • Simple “ask and answer” patterns.
  • Gentle practice with prompts (you can opt out).

Step 3: After the session

Social: Send a greeting in WhatsApp. If someone replies, send a small acknowledgement (for example “Da iawn”).

Digital: Write a one-line introduction in Welsh (you can keep it private).

Reassurance

You are building confidence, not being assessed. One phrase is plenty.

Step 4: Downloads

Session handouts will appear as we build them.

Step 5: Curiosity thread (optional)

Pick one (only if you want to):

  • Find a Welsh phrase for “I’m tired” or “I’m alright” and bring it next time.
  • Look up a Welsh place name and what it means.
  • Notice one Welsh sign in your area (photo optional).

This is a stretch option. It is for interest and conversation, not performance.
