| The
aim of Teach Yourself Welsh, is to help you to
understand and speak Welsh as it is spoken today. In order
to achieve this, the language introduced is centred on
a wide range of realistic, everyday situations.
The course covers the four basic skills
- listening and speaking, reading and writing. If you
are working on your own, the accompanying recorded material
is particularly important as it will provide you with
the essential opportunity to listen to Welsh spoken
by native speakers and to speak it yourself within a
controlled framework.
The coursebook contains 21 thematic
units, which are preceded by an alphabet and pronunciation
guide, a mutation chart for quick reference, and a map
of Wales. A more detailed reference section, the key
to the exercises, a Welsh-English vocabulary and an
English-Welsh vocabulary are included in the back of
the book.
There are two accompanying CDs and cassettes
which are available separately or with the book in a
pack. |
