About Welsh for Bashkir speakers

Welsh is written in the Latin alphabet; Bashkir uses the Cyrillic alphabet. Chatting in writing is a good way to get used to a new script, because you can take your time with every message.

Welsh is related to Breton, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx.

How the exchange works

  1. Say what you speak and what you're learning. Talkabout shows you people who speak Welsh natively and are learning Bashkir.
  2. Write to someone. Take turns: some messages in Welsh, some in Bashkir, so you both get to practise.
  3. Fix each other's messages. Suggest a correction on any message and your partner sees exactly what changed. You choose how much you want corrected.

Safe by default

Talkabout is for adults only. Photos and contact details unlock only after you've both written to each other, nobody can flood your inbox, and favourites stay private unless you both choose each other.

You can block or report anyone from the chat. Everyone agrees to the community guidelines, and moderators tell you which rule was broken when they act on a report.
