Proposed Welsh Language Chat Linkup?
It has been suggested that interested members might wish to congregate in the AmeriCymru chat room at a given hour and practice chatting in Welsh. I am all for this suggestion with two provisos:-
1. The timing might be a bit tricky. So we are open to suggestions. Please chime in with your own ideas in comments below. The initial proposed time is between 5 and 6 p.m. EST ( 2 and 3 p.m. PST ). on Monday 23rd Jan. Any other, or perhaps better, ideas?
2. Some of us have only a rudimentaery grasp of the language so much patience will need to be execised as we all fumble to translate and formulate semi coherent sentences. That being said it could be a useful learning experience and it should be fun.
Please indicate in comments below if you are interested in participating AND if you have a better suggestion for the timing of the event.

At 6 pm Eastern Standard Time ,11 pm Greenwich Meantime and 3 pm Pacific today for one hour in the Grwp Y Cymraeg. You need not be fluent ( most of us are far from that ). Useful opportunity to pick up a few phrases. And remember please be kind..Gwell Cymraeg Crap na Saesneg Slic :) The topic for todays chat is 'Where We Live"

No, Caryn – it’s a misnoma (just as on other social sites) – no AUDIBLE chat, just VISUAL chat (keyboarding!)
It’s located in bottom right corner of the page. Just click on the red button / sunflower icon to connect to chat. Try it sometime.

I would love to try chatting in Welsh! I would not be able to participate this time 'round (we will be in Florida on the 23rd), but if it works out would be very interested in having a go next time it's tried! I have never tried out the Americymru chat room -- is it a Skype sort of thing?

Any ideas that can help improve people's wish to learn Welsh is a good thing.
If it work out, it may be a great idea to make it into a more permant thing,
with people practising on a given time/ times on a regular basis.
