Digwyddiadau (events)

Mae 'na nifer o bethau i ddysgwyr a siaradwyr Cymraeg yn digwydd yn Sir y Fflint dros yr wythnosau nesaf, dyma fanylion y rheiny fy mod i wedi clywed amdanyn nhw hyd yn hyn:

There are a number of things for learners and  Welsh speakers happening in Flintshire over the next few weeks, here are details of those that I've heard about up to now:

Learn some Welsh carols at this special carol service! Learners and other groups will be contributing.

Noson o Blygain yn Y Bluebell, Helygain 

Plygain evening in The Bluebell, Halkyn 

 Nos Lun / Monday 14th Dec 7.30pm


 Traditionally Plygain involves going to church at about 3am on Christmas morning and singing carols under candlelight until the dawn. The service is fairly unstructured and soloists and groups of singers get up spontaneously to perform, many of them special 'Plygain' carols  The tradition only survived in some areas of Wales, though recently there has been a revived in areas where it had all but disappeared.   This evening celebrates the tradition with Gron Ellis giving a background to Plygain at 'The Bluebell', and Plygain carols will be performed by some special guests!

Mynedi-app!

As I mentioned in th classes last week 'Cwrs Mynediad' is now available as an i-phone app (it works on ipod touch and ipad as well of course), with various interactive excersises to help with your learning, along with sound files so you can check on pronounciations etc.  I have to say I think this is an excellent resource that hopefully will be  followed by 'Sylfaen' before too long.  It would be nice as well if it was made available (like other apps) for other platforms such as Android and Windows mobile, for those with devices by manufacturers other than 'apple'!



The cost is £5.99 for units 1-10, and then £3.99 for 11-20 etc.
