Looking for contributors for making an open Cornish course

(Took permission from mods)

Hi guys,

I have been working on a language course creation platform for more than a year. But recently I have made the new version open source. The courses created on the desktop app are independent of it. They are saved locally in json format with assets also in a folder. This means that the course can be hosted on a git repo like GitHub. The course contributors can set any license they want on the course. This is just a tool to create the course. There will be a learner app soon.

The course format itself can be rich text or 7 types of exercises. It follows a content first architecture. Which I won't bore people with but it means you define a table like "Vocab" once, fill it with data, then reuse it around the course lessons.

I had been getting feedback from a person on blue sky who was interested in making a Cornish course but I lost touch when I deleted my account. So I may be an outsider, but I am interested in language revitalisation efforts. So if any of you are interested in giving this a shot, get the desktop app from asakiri.com (Available for macOS, Windows and Linux) or come join a small community on discord

On the course settings you can also set your patreon and add sponsor links if you get any sponsors for the language course. These will be shown in the learner app when someone starts this course. I am hoping course contributors can get sponsored for their courses. But I have other plans too.

Joining now means I will be very receptive to feedback and the apps will be made according to your requirements.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Help to practice face-to-face in Cornwall

Dyth Da! I'll be moving to Cornwall next month and am very interested in learning Cornish and using it as much as possible on my daily life. I'll be located right in between Truro and St. Austell - does anyone have any recommendations on how to meet Cornish speakers and practice live, maybe face-to-face meetups in the area?

Also, if I try practicing words or phrases around Truro, what is the likelihood of them being understood? Very excited about this but don't want to come across as conceited to the average Cornish.

Meur ras in advance!

"Always" in Cornish

Dydh da! Could someone please advise on the correct way to say "always" in Cornish? I am looking for the equivalent of the word used in the famous scene from Harry Potter, as much as I hate to reference the TWERF. Meur ras!
