Helo Pawb! Lee ydw i. Dw i’n newydd dechrau y “6 mis SSIW cwrs”. Dw i’n edrych ymlaen i gael y cyfle i ymarfer cymraeg. Mae eisiau i fi rhoi mwy “effort” i ddysgu cymraeg nawr achos dwi eisiau fy merch i fynd i ysgol cymraeg. Llawer o fy nheulu yn siarad cymraeg ond dw i’n teimlo cheated haha! Mae ddrwg gen i my welsh is a little rusty. Allai i ddim yn sillafu. Dw i’n gobethio bofi gallu dod i’r barti yn mis mehefen. Bydd e cyfle gret i gael noson heb y baban haha gyda fy bartner. All depends of whether nanny is busy that night.

Hello everyone I’m Lee. I’ve recently signed up to the SSIW six month course. I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to speak welsh. I need to put more effort in to learning now as I’ve put my daughters name down for a welsh medium school. Lots of my family speak welsh but the never passed it on, I feel rather cheated.
I hope to attend the party with my girlfriend will be nice to meet everyone and have a baby free night. Haha.
Gobethio i cwrdd y gyd yn fuan.
Diolch
Lee

Thank you Huw, I’ve just booked and paid.

[ali]

Me too, but was getting frantic when it would only let me pay with PayPal and I had not used it for ages. It took half an hour before finally telling me I was booked! Each time I filled in something like new address, phone number, card number it would only accept part of the info then take me back to fill it all in again! ended up putting in my card details 4 times!! Still, at last Phil and I are booked for the party and staying with Dee. Looking forward to it in many ways!

[Macky]

Diolch,

2 tickets booked.

[KateM]

I’ve booked and would be up for meeting before and/or after too - I will definitely be free on the Sunday but not sure yet what time I will get there on the Saturday.

Edrych ymlaen!

Kate

[margaretnock]

Fi’n dod. I’m coming.

[Deborah-SSi]

And I’ve just had a confirmation email from a special guest that we’ve invited! I’m very excited, but I’m going to keep you all in suspense for a little while

[JohnYoung]

Gwych/Great thanks.
I’ll give the online booking a go this evening.

Hopefully when it says you can add your guest to your “personal booking page” it asks you for another name after you’ve entered your own. I’ll find out tonight, anyway.

[leiafee]

Whoop. Just booked!

[Deborah-SSi]

So here’s a clue about our special guest - who can guess who it is?

… is one of Wales’s most popular and highly respected authors, not least because of her exploits at the National Eisteddfod, where she has won all three of the major literary prizes, namely the Chair, the Crown and the Prose Medal. A former Children’s Poet Laureate of Wales, she is also much in demand as a lecturer, creative-writing tutor and broadcaster.

[karengo]

Oooh! I know. I have an alpaca named after her. Great choice!

[Macky]

Professor

[CatrinLliarJones]

She has a soothing reading voice, I could listen to her all day…

[HuwJones]

So not Nia Parry then.

[jamesmahoney]

And not Julian Ruck either.

Je suis dévasté

[margaretnock]

Looks Stunning. Rides a bicycle. Leads a choir. Met her at my very first (pre SSIW) intensive course.
