About this title

Synopsis

Finding a course on spoken Welsh has been difficult, if not impossible--until now. This course takes you through a number of dialect variations making this the first truly communicative approach to Welsh.

Review

Gareth King, an experienced teacher of Welsh to adults, has in the short space of three years published a comprehensive reference grammar of spoken Welsh; a lively, up-to-date introductory language course; and now two further 'grammar-workbooks'. This impressive opus constitutes a solid, much-needed and most welcome contribution to the descriptive grammar literature on modern colloquial Welsh and a considerable achievement....For more than one reason, both the beginner and the professional linguist alike who approaches spoken Welsh with books such as these to hand is a far luckier student than were those of my own generation, and Gareth King is to be thanked....I am sure that for many people these books will have had the effect of putting modern spoken Welsh firmly on the map; let no one underestimate the importance of that.
–Alan R. King, LINGUIST

For self-study in particular, [Colloquial Welsh] is as good an introduction as can be found to the spoken language following modern teaching principles.... it presents an authentic picture of colloquial usage. Serious students will also benefit from the accompanying cassettes which provide a full three hours of listening and practice material. The units of Colloquial Welsh contain useful comments on salient aspects of Welsh culture, and the dialogues incorporate some typically Welsh humour too.
–Alan R. King, LINGUIST
