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"

Yup...same time, same channel
this weeks topic is "Where we live" ...info about our town or area and questions to other members about their locales....should be easy....and fun
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?
Yes, sounds like a great idea. da iawn.
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 itinto a more permant thing,
with people practising on a given time/ times on a regular basis.
I am also trying very hard to learn Welsh but I have a terribly odd work schedule. So unless the chat room was open in the afternoon to evening (Eastern time) during the week and/or weekends I'd miss out too.
Are weekends out of the question?
Although I'd REALLY prefer to findan actual personin the Baltimore/Washington area who'd be willing to tutor me.
I have been trying to learn Welsh, but don't have anyone to tlak to , so this would be a great help. I am having trouble with past tense and mutations.
