Introduction
The aim of this book is to teach you to understand and speak Welsh
as it is spoken in Wales today. It is designed as an introduction
to the language for complete beginners, as an aid to those who are
already leaing Welsh, and as a source of revision for those who
wish to refresh their previous (perhaps almost forgotten! )
knowledge. It will also provide Welsh speakers with an insight into
how their language works, how it is structured, and the whys and
wherefores of the origins and the rules of mutation.
The course is based upon the conversations of ordinary Welsh people
in all kinds of situations, from chatting to a young lady in a
village cafe to a serious discussion on the impact of the single
European market.
The wide range of situations is designed to give you as much
experience as possible of how the language works, and sufficient
practice to enable you to participate in conversation and
discussion. Because complete dialogues are used right from the
start, you will be able to use your Welsh from the first unit
onwards.
It cannot be too strongly urged that the way to lea the language
is to use it. When, for example, you have leat Bore da (Good
moing), say it to the first person you meet who can speak Welsh.
Your reward will be the satisfaction of having made the first
serious step towards leaing the language. It is a skill that
comes with practice, like riding a bicycle or driving a car. Unless
you have an extraordinary faculty for language leaing, you will
make mistakes at first. This is normal and to be expected: people
will be understanding and helpful once they realise that you are a
leaer and anxious to progress. Leaing Welsh can be an enjoyable
and rewarding experience.
