I find the Assimil course quite good indeed and the spelling makes things easier to remember pronunciation... It's not really that I've got trouble with spelling. I was just curious to know about these differences and whether there might be a standard (or widely used) orthography I should use rather than another one... Thanks for your precisions... Another reason why I asked this question was that I needed a pretext to "speak" Breton once more... 8) This makes me wondering why you answered in English... 8) Is my Breton that bad?... 8( >Brezhoneg zo bev. Komzit Brezhoneg. Ya, gwir eo... Komz Brezhoneg a vije ur blijadur din... Met gant piw?... Kavout brezhonegerien e Strasbourg (!) n'eo ket aes tre... Mat eo dija gallout lennan pe skrivan dre aman... Trugarez d'an _holl_ evit ho tiskrivadennou... Kenavo deoc'h [To speak Breton would be a pleasure to me, but it's not easy in Strasbourg... Good I can read and write here... and thanks to _all_ those who answered] Fred
