Hi everyone! I’m starting Awr Ymarfer, where we gather on Zoom at 2pm BST, have a brief chat about what we’re going to do, and then quietly practice our Welsh for the best part of an hour before a final check-in to talk about what we achieved.
It’s not a Sesiwn Sgwrs, so no need to worry about talking in Welsh if you don’t feel up to it. Instead, it’s a chance to give yourself an hour to focus on practicing Welsh however you want to. That might be doing SSiW, or an Ymestyn lesson, or watching S4C or writing in Welsh. It doesn’t matter - you do whatever is important to you.
It’s totally free, and it’s for learners and speakers at every level and of every dialect.
This sounds like a useful way to motivate me to do some reading in Welsh. Unfortunately I can’t make next Friday, but if it’s going to be a regular thing I’m definitely interested.
Did the Awr Ymarfer happen today? I did register, though as I said previously, I couldn’t make today because I was travelling home after a few days away. Will there be one next Friday?
Yes, it did happen, and it went well! I’ll be sending round an email as we are going to do one at the same time next Friday. I’ll share details here too.
That’s excellent news. I will be able to join next week. I think the Zoom session will be useful and make me actually do some focused study, such as actually reading the Welsh novels that are sitting by my desk.
