Dear Iestyn I’m interested but don’t know /never been to same how long? where? etc. Am on Level 2 lesson 12 and loving it. Clare
@ClareRussell, follow the link above and it will give you the dates. If you have done level one you’ve done enough SSIW tp benefit from bootcamp. I can’t recommend lit enough. Go for it.

Shw mae, Clare?
The mimnimum “level” we ask for is that you have completed level 1 or course 1 of the SSiW course. If you have that much, then you have enough to enjoy the week without burning up from frustration.
There is one more week available this year - 23rd - 30the September, with interest being shown in this thread: [Sold Out] 2017 September Bootcamp Tresaith. Sept 23-30
Tresaith is dorm style accomodation, although the 20 bed dorm is divided into 3 or 4 areas, so it’s not too full on. And we ban speaking English for the week, which means that everyone gets to use every single drop of Welsh that they have, and make up the bits that they don;t have yet.
It’s plenty of fun, and works absopute wonders for your Welsh!
It would be great to see you there.

Hello Ffi, welcome to the forum 
To keep everything here accessible even to new learners or those who may know a fair bit of spoken Welsh but have little experience with writing, it’s a good idea to keep our posts to English or at least supply an English translation if we use more than a word or two of Welsh in our posts

Oops, seems like I should have written my email in English too. Mae’n drwg gen i. Was just saying how I am looking forward to a northern bootcamp as I need as much practice as possible …

Not sure yet if we’ll be running a northern bootcamp in 2018 - but you don’t need to wait for a northern bootcamp - every bootcamp (including ones that happen in the north!) has a mixture of learners following the northern and southern version. Hearing the alternatives helps you improve your ability to follow Welsh conversations in the wild…

That’s what I kept hearing, but when I went on a Southern Bootcamp, I was the only one who had been following the northern lessons. I listened to some of the southern lessons before going, and was glad I did. Although there aren’t lots of differences, some of the common words and phrases are different, and it helped me to be familiar with them. I do hope to be able to be part of a northern Bootcamp some day, and am grateful to have been on the southern one.
How soon will we hear about the next bootcamp. I am itching to get practising…!
For the southern ones, it’s when @Iestyn gets the chance to make some decisions about dates…
For the northern one, I think there’s a fighting chance 2018 will be a skip year for us, I’m afraid - not 100% certain yet, but it’s already looking tricky to fit in…

A pity, as I liked the generally more “luxury” nature of the northern ones!
But I gather that running one is a lot of work, and if that doesn’t fit into the schedule, I understand.

Also very interested in a Northern boot camp
Hi. I’d be interested in a 2018 boot camp (preferably either Jan/Feb or may onwards?).
Again I’d be another one interested in northern one but I’d go on southern one as well
I’m thinking we should be getting a heads-up who’s interested sort of post for the first 2018 bootcamp pretty soon, shouldn’t we @Iestyn?
