I wish I could support SSiW beyond my current subscription, but that isn’t possible right now. I am so thankful that I found this fantastic method of learning and this amazing community of people. I hope you achieve every goal…I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines!
Hmmmm … thinking … thinking …thinking …
Nah, nothing comes to my mind right now
I also pondered thoughts which plan would I go with. I’d the most rather go with 100++++ but for now I believe I have to be a bit careful with my finanicals at the moment. I’ll go with 10 for now and when (I won’t say “if” deliberately) the time comes and I could be at least 50 % sure I can give more, I’ll go further on
Oh, but … you never know … maybe one day I really hit that Eurojackpot and then … WOW! I rather won’t spread further but my plan is already set in my mind.
Sure. Say it each time in another of the languages the growth club is going to help pay for
That’s such a kind wish - diolch o galon i ti!
Odlično!
Quelle bonne idée!
I would very much like to contribute more too and I hope I will be able to upgrade my subscription later. It’s really a wonderful thing that you’re doing, also because you give people the possibility to learn languages that are rare (I remember how thrilled I was to find Cornish among learning options) and it feels great to support such a cause. Unfortunately at the moment I should be careful about my finance, as I’m moving to another town. So for the moment I’ll just repeat my willingness to help with everything that concerns my native language, Russian, when you need it:)
Thanks Aran, I cracked it, I’m all signed up. And yes I have recently started dabbling in Spanish, having reached the end of course 3 and finding myself simply missing that brain-scouring sensation.
Tell me, now that you have proved to us all that we can learn a language, can you prove we can all learn multiple languages or is that something special? Can you give one of your scientific answers to this?
Can’t wait to see what languages you are going to spring on us, but how are we to choose?
I agree with every word @4Ruth says.
@aran, some of us with the best will in the world, are probably unable to make this monthly financial commitment. A suggestion…how about drawing up a system where instead of committing monthly, those of us of meagre financial means are able to make a one-off donation to SSi for any amount we can afford?
At least this way, we would be able to feel that we are making a small contribution to getting the show on the road.
I really feel there would be no need for you to offer anything in return for such donations - you already give us so much with this wonderful ssi system.
I think Gavins idea is fab - I read this thread wishing that I could work/have an income and support this fab idea. But unfortunately not for the forseeable future. A chance to contribute in a small way would be grand
I don’t know if @aran would agree with that but those who pay subscriptions with PayPal you all have their PayPal mail (if you know what I’m trying to suggest here …). You coul use it. However you could be so kind and choose to pay the fee (which is comming along with that and is not too high at all) too.
Just spreading my thoughts, nothing more …
Brilliant, thank you so much - er, I mean, um, merci beaucoup!
I certainly think we can prove that! No immediate scientific links to hand, but I think you’re going to find out that the second new conversational language is in many ways easier than the first
Gavin, I hugely appreciate your support, and take your point entirely. We can already dig out a ‘donation’ link to Paypal - I’ll fiddle around and try to get a link to it in this thread (although it might end up not happening until we get back from County Durham a week on Monday)
Your desire to support what we’re doing has just done exactly that…
The billing form doesn’t appear on Google Chrome. I had to use internet explorer.
As I already make extensive use of Welsh, Spanish and Dutch, can’t wait to start on new languages and had the brilliance of the SSi method help me countless times I’m more than happy to contribute.
I really believe in what your doing so here’s to a bright future!
That’s odd, I’m seeing it okay in Chrome. @kinetic - could you have a go at figuring out what might have broken it for Ian? And Ian - diolch o waelod calon i ti
@JustinandEirwen - shouldn’t be too much longer
I don’t have a subscription of any kind yet, but was planning to do that this week now I’ve finished my travels and have time for Level 2, so would I need to buy both or just the Growth subscription?
I can certainly spare 4 pints a month for such a good cause. (A sign of my recent student status that I still consider everything in terms of how much alcohol you could get for the same price…)
Now that takes me back! I can still remember the first time I realised that as a fully employed person, I no longer had to finish every single pint, because at a pinch I could afford another one some other time…
I think we’ve said that if you’re in the Growth Club, you get everything - so we stand by that, although it makes me feel a little awkward about the lovely people who were already subscribing. But either way, your support is hugely, hugely valuable and inspirational for us
Tatjana - no, sorry, we don’t integrate with Paypal on the subscriptions at the moment - we may have to sort that out one day, but they really are a nightmare.
A wee bit late to the party but I’m in.
It is indeed. I use Chrome in development, so I’d be rather surprised if it didn’t work there The form isn’t actually strictly a part of our website, it’s generated by some JavaScript provided by our payment provider - @ianblandford, I don’t suppose you have any Chrome plugins which might be disabling/blocking things?
Not sure, i have just updated to windows 10, so don’t know if that would make a difference
Hapus iawn to join the growth club - just subscribed! The only downside for me (apart from shelling out more money each month, of course) is that I may now just get distracted by SSiSpanish (or potentially other languages to come) when I am really concentrating on Cymraeg I have already weakened a few times and managed a whole Spanish challenge whilst hoovering the house. It made the housework go a bit quicker though so I shouldn’t complain.
All the very best @aran with the new ventures and I hope that this growth club initiative gives you the extra backing you need. SaySomethingIn is inspirational and innovative in so many ways and deserves all the support it gets and more.
