Do weekly emails still happen? They sound fun! How do you get them?
Just seen that Iā€™ve been on the standard SSIW subscription since 2018. Blimey!
Perhaps thereā€™s a setting Iā€™ve missed. Just let me know!

Yes, @Deborah-SSi looks after them at the moment, sheā€™ll be able to add you to the list of recipients. (Actually Deborah, could you add me too? I know Iā€™m on here virtually all the time so didnā€™t subscribe to them before, but it might be handy to get them anyway!)

@siaronjames @rhiannon-meades this is the opt-in form: http://forms.aweber.com/form/99/904832899.htm

Itā€™s available in the FAQ, if you need to give that information to others, Siaron.

Dear all, being a self-confessed ā€œgrammar nerdā€ Iā€™m very keen to improve my knowledge of formal, written Welsh. Iā€™m talking about the form of language used in the national anthem and Bible. Gareth King has, of course, been very helpful with this in his comprehensive grammar book.

Could anyone recommend any online courses, books etc?

Many thanks

ā€œNow Youā€™re Talking Welshā€ on Youtube is excellent. LearnWelsh.Cymru has some distance learning courses. Also, I invite you to learn with me on Youtube, the more the merrier!

This weekā€™s email will be sent out a little later than usual today as weā€™ve been updating our email provider account. Diolch for your patience. :slight_smile:

39

The weekly email for this week will be going out tomorrow, Thursday the 21st of March, instead of today.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.

40

Further apologies from me Iā€™m afraid! :see_no_evil:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, there will be no weekly email this week after all. But next weekā€™s promises to be a bumper issue!

Diolch again for your patience. :heart:

Dear all,

Apologies, but there wonā€™t be a weekly email this week and possibly next week. Our emailing system is down and though thereā€™s much firefighting going on behind the scenes, itā€™s quite possible that the problem weā€™re having wonā€™t be resolved till next week.

Diolch for your patience and please remember that you can continue to advertise learner events on this forum and Slack.

Diolch. :heart:

Just a bit of constructive critisism: it may be just me, but I think this link is way too hidden. It would be more convenient if it were at least in the topic starting message? But I finally found it so Iā€™m subscribing, yay! :slight_smile:

43

Good point! Iā€™ve edited Catrinā€™s initial post to include the opt-in link :slight_smile:

Apologies to all whoā€™ve requested to have news and announcements put in the weekly email, because our email system is still down unfortunately.

Weā€™re working as hard as we can to get it up and running again, and as soon as it is weā€™ll let you know.

Diolch to you all for your patience.
