Today’s task is to learn some of the basics of Welsh. My parents are both half Welsh, grandfathers were Welsh, I currently live in Wales – so it would seem appropriate to learn the language; even more so, now that I’ve discovered pre-adoptive family members who speak it!
I guess I really need to go for lessons, as pronunciation is always the killer. I had a Spanish (Columbian actually) teacher at work, who was superb – you get to hear how to pronounce words, even if it was with a South American twist.
So – nouns, adjectives, prepositions, soft-mutations, aspirated-mutations (??!!) and so on – hello.
It’s also two years since I first started this blog. Hmm, how things have changed.
