The Welsh Language Made Easy - Teach Yourself Basic Welsh with this Guide to Pronunciation and Full of Helpful Phrases for Travelling
Overview
Welsh is far kinder to a beginner than it looks on a signpost, and this primer starts where it should: with the sound of each letter, then the words a visitor needs.
The Welsh Language Made Easy is a short anonymous handbook, reprinted here from an older original. It sets out the alphabet and how each letter and letter combination is sounded, then moves on to everyday vocabulary and a run of ready-made phrases for greeting people, asking the way, buying things, and getting about. Nothing is assumed, and no grammar is taught for its own sake.
Welsh is one of the oldest living tongues in Europe and is spoken daily across Wales. This little guide will not make anyone fluent, but it is a friendly first step for holidaymakers, for people with family in the country, and for anyone who has ever wanted to say a Welsh word out loud with some confidence.
This edition features:
- A straightforward guide to the alphabet, with the sound of every letter and letter combination
- Everyday vocabulary chosen for the visitor and the curious reader rather than the examination hall
- Ready-made phrases for greeting people, asking the way, buying things, and getting about day to day
- A short, pocketable handbook, brief enough to be worked through in a single afternoon before a journey
- Faithfully reprinted from the original for a new generation of first-time learners
