How to Learn Welsh Tampa FL

Steps

1. Because a lot of Welsh words do not follow the English pronunciation format, it is often best to start by simply listening (whilst not understanding) to Welsh speakers. Try listening online to the BBC's Radio Cymru available online (only to UK users due to license funding) to the people talking.
2. If you live in Wales, there is a great chance that you are able to visit a Learn Welsh class, as the Welsh Government are trying to promote Welsh as a language. Visit them at the site listed below for more information on this.
3. For distance learners, there is a great deal of resources available to purchase online - from the inexpensive to the very costly. Start trying for free on the BBC's Big Welsh Challenge which isn't restricted viewing, and progress to CD learning from companies such as Talk Now!, World Talk and languages for Beginners. All of these are available on Amazon by searching simply "Learn Welsh". You may also want to consider a new approach to language learning through a programs such as Cadw Swn who use music to stimulate the brain whilst listening to the language.
4. If you wish to do a Welsh course, the Open University have recently begun a Welsh language program, though this may be too costly at £400 for some learners who wish to learn solely for interest. It is unlikely that there are other courses available elsewhere in the world, though Wales does provide numerous courses.

Tips

• Start small. Try learning through the BBC's Welsh Challenge and see how you go.
• If you have a lot of time to invest, visit the Open University and enrol for their course after looking through the prospectus. This, as already mentioned, is expensive, however.

Warnings

• Be careful when buying online. No websites listed are approved by WikiHow in any way.
