Hwb — Dysgwr yr Wythnos / Learner of the Week: Leia Fee (30/09/12)

  • 0:14 - 0:22
    Hello, I'm Leia Fee and I'm here at Swansea Airport on a very lovely day – for once...
  • 0:26 - 0:33
    I come from Pembrokeshire orginally but I came to Swansea to go to university
  • 0:33 - 0:39
    I just adore the place, it's lovely.
  • 0:41 - 0:49
    When I was little I used to go to airshows at Brawdy. My grandad was in the RAF.
  • 0:49 - 0:59
    As an adult I then had a birthday present of a flying lesson and it was just so good.
  • 0:59 - 1:12
    About 8 years ago now I started flying and I've been flying from Swansea aiport for about 6 years of that.
  • 1:12 - 1:21
    To start with it feels like it's very difficult but things come with time.
  • 1:21 - 1:25
    Talking on the radio is like learning another language.
  • 1:25 - 1:31
    When you first start using the radio in the aeroplane, it's hard - you can't understand anything.
  • 1:31 - 1:36
    It's totally like another language, but with time it comes
  • 1:36 - 1:43
    and you can hear your own callsign and know what they're saying.
  • 1:43 - 1:49
    I did a bit of Welsh in school but when the time came to choose GCSEs
  • 1:49 - 1:58
    there was a choice of going to Paris if you did French or going to Llangranong if you did Welsh
  • 1:58 - 2:09
    and I'd been to Llangrangog once and I was very sick and it rained all the time! So I choose French.
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    I use Say Something in Welsh on the website too,
  • 2:14 - 2:24
    it works well with traditional classes because SSIW has a big focus on just talking and talking
  • 2:24 - 2:29
    Not worrying if there's mistakes or anything like that.
  • 2:29 - 2:38
    In a way the language of SSIW is more natural than classroom language. SSIW is the real language.
  • 2:42 - 2:50
    After leaving school I started working in the education world. I teach computers to adults.
  • 2:50 - 2:54
    I would like to use Welsh in work,
  • 2:54 - 2:58
    I'd like to teach through the medium of Welsh
  • 2:58 - 3:09
    there's not a lot of things available so I'd like to develop my Welsh to a level I can use it to teach other people.
  • 3:09 - 3:15
    I'm very pleased to have learned.
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    There we are, I'm ready to go!
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    Byee
