Hey you’re quite lucky to be an English mother tongue speaker, if you have to call Wales!
I had orders from the USA taking way more than that to Italy. Some types of cheaper shippings may take a real long time.
However, if this is the site https://www.gomer.co.uk I was looking just yesterday at their site and they say" International orders are sent by air mail and take from up to two weeks (North America)".
So it’s probably a good idea to check what’s going on!
I’m assuming you didn’t receive a tracking number, right? (a number that allows you to see where the package is)
On the same page there’s also their contacts:
email orders@gomer.co.uk
phone (did you remember to add international code for UK before the number? here it is)
0044 1559 363092
between 9am-5pm, Monday – Friday
Wait, I’m going to make a different post with this, cause it also a tiny question about traveling around Wales, too.
Does anybody know if this address is just a company address or a bookstore too ((if you’re ever been there)?
Gwasg Gomer, 33 - 35 Lammas Street, Carmarthen
(doesn’t seem a bookstore from a quick look at Street View, but wait…both even and odd numbers are on both sides of the street?!
I’d better figure this out before I come to Wales!
English is “honey month” too… that’s literally where “honeymoon” comes from. One cycle of the moon is a month. I believe it’s also the root of the word “month”, in fact.
I’m pretty sure it’s just the printers that Gomer use, not a bookshop too.
For a Welsh book shop in Carmarthen, best to try Siop Y Pentan, 12-14 Market Precinct, Carmarthen SA31 1QZ
I’m on Windows 10 too, and no problem. Which keys do you press when you’re trying to put a to bach on John?
Alt Gr and the letter you want should automatically give you the circumflex accent e.g. ê
Alt Gr and / and the letter should give you the acute accent e.g. é
Alt Gr and \ and the letter should give you the grave accent e.g. è
Alt Gr and " and the letter should give you the diaeresis accent e.g. ë
Thank you for getting back to me. Also needed a phone number to exit the US, and then one to get to Wales. Very long phone number, (can’t wait for that bill) but I was able to talk with Gomer, and they are going to send the book out again, via UPS this time. Should receive a tracking number.
Thanks again
Da iawn ti! Just some small typos in there, but perfectly understandable.
(No 'n before dal, to try = trio without r, and ymarfer has a blank space in there that doesn’t belong)
The yn (or 'n in its form after a vowel) is used before the verb to form a sentence in the present tense. The word “dal” only acts as a modifier for that sentence. So Dw i’n moyn ymarfer becomes Dw i dal yn moyn ymarfer
If you look underneath each lesson on the website, there’s a link to a vocabulary list which should pop up in a little new window for you…
This one is ‘gwella’ or ‘wella’… the problem you might be having there is with the ‘ll’ sound… which is really just L with a bit of added h… so if you practise going ‘s’->‘shhhh’, ‘t’->‘thhhhh’, ‘p’->‘phhhhh’ to get the feel for what adding a bit of breath is like, and then put your tongue in the position for L, and then figure out a way to let some air out while you’re saying it…
