I’m the aged crone from a few posts up with bad ears, bad eyes and messed up lungs, too many strong opinions and too much to say! I did once know quite a lot of Cymraeg, mainly reading and writing rather than Saying! (We learned that way in those days!) Having forgotten most and moved to Scotland, suffering hiraeth, I turned to S4C as a treatment and SSiW when I realised how little I could understand!!
As well as the map, may I turn your attention to the fact that, the UK Government having shown signs of starving our one TV channel (S4C) of funds, I started a petition for those of us not in Wales
Do sign if you agree.
I admire your fluency and will now shut up!!
Oh, Croeso!!

Thanks, Aran! I don’t know why I didn’t join sooner – I had meant to get around to it but I never did. I’ve seen the map, that’s so cool! I think I’ve tried to put my location there before but was unsuccessful for some reason. I’ll be sure to add my location (Cleveland, Ohio) to it, though

Thanks! 
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I’m sure your Welsh will come back to you with practice, just keep at it. And, I signed the petition, too – that was an awesome idea

We tried it as an ‘add yourself’ map, but got a lot of odd stuff! - so now it’s in the safe hands of @Sionned (who is over your side of the pond herself!) - once she sees this, she’ll get you added - and it looks as though you’ve got a bunch of people pretty close to you - hope some of them turn out to be still actively learning…

This really does seem to have caught the imagination of the byd Cymraeg.

Hi, Geordan! That was amazing:tada:
!!! Do you have an iPhone? Would you like to try a Welsh FaceTime? I find Skype really awkward. (Or regular phone call would do I haven’t tried Google + yet. FaceTime seems so simple. PM me if you’d like to set it up and we can exchange phone numbers. Llongyfarhiadu!

Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply. But that sounds great! I can’t figure out how to send a PM for the life of me, so would you mind PMing me instead? I’ve been super busy lately with work and school, but maybe we could set up a chat for the future ?

@grdnlyb hello again.
I believe it would be useful if you would check the topic Really useful “How to” stuff and other great posts where you can find many useful things on how to do something on this forum and there is also list of useful topics which @seren has made for us all. But for the time being on how to send a PM, here you are: Sending a personal message (PM).
Hope it helps.

I love it! I am here in Los Angeles, and looking for Cornish speakers (who struggle a wee bit less than than I, being a newbie).
LA is one of the world’s most diverse cities. I know there are hidden Celts in our midst.
I had a best girlfriend when I was in my early twenties who spoke Welsh, as did her parents. I wanted to learn, but both pagents were hard of hearing and spoke REALLY loudly. And as I was young and impatient…
Is there a Skype appointment thread? I’m on iTalk but alas no people who kamsel Kernewek are listed. I had to pull strings to get Cornish on their drop down menu.
Maybe I need to start a California thread?
Uh. I just found the map!

It might also be interesting to test a classified ad or two - if anyone notices one and knows any Cornish speakers, they’re bound to tell them…

Geordan was on S4C last night, on a documentary about the American election! Well worth a watch. (Who knew there were so many Welsh-speakers in Ohio!)

The only Cornish speaker I know of here in the section for Cymraeg is @HowlsedhesServices. I think he is in Cornwall, but I may have misunderstood. He may be able to exchange Cornish with you, perhaps in the ‘Other Languages’ section? I suppose there is no Cornish language TV or Radio?

I have a Cornish-speaking friend (who also speaks Welsh) who isn’t on here. He’s very keen on sharing the language. Want me to pass on your details? If you do, PM me and I’ll pass them on.
