We’ll pop down and check for you… :wink:

Also - would any one like a free, guaranteed place on a Bootcamp? Instead of having to do the ‘hammer away at the link in the first 30 seconds after Iestyn announces it’ game?

Another brilliant idea. Where DO you get them? :smile:

Vouchers for flights to/from Cardiff? :grin:

You’d be far better off flying to Liverpool if you were going to the gogs :wink:

Even Manchester which offers more choices.

I have to consolidate my accent before I can go to the gogs.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

More seriously, I do want to visit the North of course, but it really depends on how many days I can stay, cause I have a few threads to follow in the South, and a lot of nice people I’d like to meet again (and have more advanced conversation with, hoping I improve my Welsh before then) :grinning:

P.s iboth Portmeirion and Nant Gwrtheyrn are very interesting prizes!

Ouch - I think that might put us out of business fairly quickly!

But if we can grow enough, who knows… maybe next year… maybe

Well, I didn’t mean full price to/from any destination! :grinning:
Any discount would be appreciated although the one I’m more interested in - Milano- is often around £50 - 100 and you had been talking about one week full board, courses, bootcamps I didn’t think would be cheaper than that! :thinking:

p.s. in any case now I see all the prizes are great. (BTW are prizes meant just for Welsh language courses or any of the SSiW?)

All our intensive/bootcamp/etc stuff is only currently available in Welsh - in terms of what we’re asking you to point people at, it’s specifically the 6 minute a day Welsh course - although if this goes well, we might well do something similar with other languages in the future… :slight_smile:

Question about the “competition” without clogging up that thread. As I understand this our new members would get the 6min course for £10 a month and get the 6mws course thrown in for free. What advantage would it be to have access to both courses? I might be missing something but I can’t see why anyone would want or need both.

Nobody needs to do both courses - they’re largely just different time schedules - but for people who’d like the 6 month course but don’t want to fork out £240, it’s a winner - and then it’s up to us to give them enough value for their tenner a month to keep them subscribing after they’ve done the 6 months (also, experience shows that some of them will start off on the 6 month and then ask to be switched to the slower track). :slight_smile:

Gotcha … that makes sense.’

I’m happy to see it seems to be working very well! :boom::+1:

However in Italy, I’m currently in the phase where I’m explaining that:

  1. a Welsh language exists
  2. it is not gaelic
    Maybe by next year. :sweat_smile:

In any case not so many people would be able to learn a language through English.

So when the Italian course is ready, couldn’t you reverse it and use it to create a SSiW English course for Italians?
I’m sure there would be interest for that!

Sadly without a namecheck, though :frowning: Lots of other resources were named but SSiW was not even mentioned in the para about Jeremy Vine’s lesson.

Namecheck is there, but unfortunately only by the Twitter handle “DailyWelshWords”.

In the paragraph above it was “DailyWelshWords” which is SSiW :+1:

If you read her twitter feed you will find myself and at least 5 others giving us a plug (which I just did again after @aran replied to Jeremy himself).
