I had a dream last night, I don't remember much of it but I do remember distinctly that the words "Cwn Annwn" were written on a white piece of paper and I was like, 'hold on thats Welsh-ish spelling'. What does this mean? I'm trying to learn Welsh, as I'd love to come to Wales someday so all I know is how to pronounce the letters and words and the basics like "good morning" bore da. This phrase has never crossed my path in my studies.

Anyone speak Welsh? Old English or Latin?

How difficult is this to learn you think?

learning Welsh language (in the US)?

Hello,

I'm an American who is absolutely enthralled by Welsh language and culture. However, here in the states, there are VERY limited resources on language learning materials. I understand that the best way to learn this language is to travel to Wales, but even if I took that approach, I can't even find anything on home-stays, or even Welsh language programs abroad.

Does anybody know of any useful resources for learning this language? It could be anything that is available in the States (Books, software, CDs, etc?), or across the pond in Wales (study abroad programs).

Thanks in advance~

Learning Welsh language help?

Ok, so i'm hoping to move to Wales in January, my boyfriend is starting Uni there in 2 days, and I can't move there till January. He's going to be doing something with his life, so I want to too. I think the best thing to do is a welsh language course, or something that helps you learn welsh fluently (or at least almost) anyone know how I can start this?

I'm English but my ancestors are Welsh, and I think learning Welsh is a pretty cool idea :D Only that BBC's "The Big Welsh Challenge" doesn't really enter grammar and sentence structure as much as basic phrases. Can someone help?
P.S. I live in France...

I'm applying to Bangor University in Wales and all of the e-mails I get are in Welsh and have to be put into google translate and translated into english.
