Fire and Snow - by Dave and Sue Meek, one of our learners
Put the fiddle on the roof Siop-Siarad - to help you learn to write, read and speak Welsh
We've been published by the BBC. If you are learning
to speak Welsh and arrive in a different valley, you may be amused -
click here.
If you are trying to get to learn to write and speak a language (especially one as complex
as Welsh) you will know exactly what I mean - books everywhere, bits of
reference here, crumpled notes there, verbs minus their past, present or
future tenses. Just trying to learn a mutation or write a single paragraph is a monumental task for
learners that seems to take forever! In this web site I have attempted to help learners
to write and speak Cymraeg and to bring all
these disparate points of reference into a single document that is easy to
use and avoids (I hope) unnecessary pomp and is idiot (like me)
friendly.
I have no doubt
there are many errors and omissions on the following pages - just e-mail,
and I will correct! If you identify areas I have missed totally
(more common phrases, idioms, verbs, dare I say ... mutations) please do
send in, together with your own stories for publication - in English and
Welsh, of course but do include drawings/photographs where possible, copy
is so much more easy to read, speak and write with the help of pictures! If you get it wrong, don't
worry ... that is what the site is all about ... learning by having a go and gaining
confidence that can be transferred to your spoken Welsh. There are many
kind and patient Welsh-fluent people out there who will put learners of
this fascinating language right!
