Welsh Society

S4C has lots of resources for Welsh, as does the BBC. I've been using a website called Memrise recently to improve my Welsh (as well as Russian), I find it helps a lot.

Does anyone listen to Radio Cymru? Was just wondering because I'm on it on April 6th and April 8th (I recorded a bit about a campaign I've been running recently) so if anyone's listening... I'll try and find the exact time it's going to be at

As for S4C, does anyone watch Gwaith/Cartref?(Can't remember if I already asked this..) I genuinely prefer it to most English programs and it's the highlight of my Sunday nights.

You spoke to me about it before!
You started your student finance yet?

I had a feeling I'd adoringly ranted on about it to someone.

No, I haven't. I was vaguely waiting for my school to do a presentation or something about it, but now you mention it, maybe I should get started. It seems complicated. D:
Have you started it?

In other news, Bristol let me do ab initio German() but Durham haven't replied to my application yet.()
I see you've made your Firm and Insurance choices. Looks awesome. 8)

Woo, you going to firm Bristol?
I started it earlier, it was a little confusing, but I'm getting through it. Had to phone UCL to ask whether Modern languages was a 'full time undergraduate' or 'full time with sandwich year', even more embarrassing was the fact that no one was there and I had to leave a voicemail.

I haven't officially done it yet! I'm 100% sure they're my choices, going to firm it on UCAS soon though.

Out of curiosity, what will your insurance choice be Gales?

Edinburgh, you?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will.
It depends slightly on Durham. I haven't visited, so if they give me an offer, I'd definitely want to research it further in case I prefer it to Bristol. I don't think i will though cos Bristol really suits me.

I hate phoning universities(or indeed phoning anyone); I always say stupid things.

Well they seem like pretty cool choices anyway.

I don't have one anymore. I got an unconditional offer from Aber today due to how my scholarship exams went.

Llongyfarchiadau I look forwards to Bangor vs Aber banter with you hehe.

Llongyfarchiadau! I failed mine, so you did better than me. Got a nice cushy Cardiff scholarship instead though.

First The Hills... now The Valleys: MTV head to Wales for their new non-scripted reality show

Shows such as The Hills, The City and Jersey Shore proved such a success in America that they prompted the creation of shows such as Geordie Shore and Desperate Scousewives. And now MTV UK have announced that for their next non-scripted reality show, they will be heading to Wales. The channel will begin production on new series The Valleys at the end of April.

Following in the success of Geordie Shore, which saw a group of young people enjoying the nightlife in Newcastle, the new series will be focusing on people from areas in the South Wales Valleys such as Tonyrefail and Tonypandy. Over a period of six weeks, the youngsters will be taken from their valley towns and given the opportunity to experience life in the city of Cardiff.
But a press release from MTV explained that the series will also show the stars returning to their hometowns.

The press release reads: 'Home is never far away as the cast will return to The Valleys throughout the series to visit their families and hometowns - a stark contrast between the lives they’ve left behind and the new ones they’re forging in the big smoke.'

MTV UK's announcement for the new show comes after it was announced that Geordie Shore had been commissioned for a third series, with the setting moving to Cancun. The cast, including Gaz Beadle, Vicky Pattison and Charlotte Crosby, are to fly 5,000 miles across the Atlantic to take up their own large villa during the region's legendary Spring Break period. Throughout the planned eight episodes the Newcastle natives are set to attend the wild pool parties and nightclubs the resort is famed for. The second series of Geordie Shore concluded earlier this week.

What do you all think of this?
