Ydy, ydy, mae'r rhestr yma wedi cael ei phostio o'r blaen, ond dyma hi unwaith eto: My personal recommendation for learning Welsh is to look for a book that starts with a "choose 1 from column A & 1 from column B" approach to sentence structure, then get a good dictionary, get on the Welsh-L & start writing, however badly you feel you're doing. I used Y Lolfa's "Welcome to Welsh", but there are others; i.e., Mark Nodine has archived a series of lessons on this BB. Putting the language into active use will teach you more than parroting phrases heard on a tape recorder, though the tapes are essential for learning pronunciation. Nawrte, lleoedd i gael gwersi Gymraeg: Celtic Alternatives 838 Elgin Ave Forest Park IL 60130-2027 ph:(708) 771-7309 This company bought out Siani Flewog's inventory & has a number of language references. The owner is also the director of Wythnos Etifoddiaeth (Welsh Heritage Week), an intensive exposure to Welsh language, music, etc.ad nauseum, & a heckuva party. There's nothing like a week's exposure to native Welsh speakers to get you started! The Harp & Dragon 25 Madison St Cortland, NY 13045 ph: (607) 756-7372 Besides learning materials, the owner sells Welsh sheet music & Celtic harps (the thing that got me into Cymreictod in the first place!) And for Tris in San Fran, I know there's a Bay area Welsh association, though I don't have the contact number. Sources for that & for other learning-material vendors can be found in the Welsh-American newpapers: _Y Drych_ PO Box 8089 St Paul MN 55108 subscription $17.50/yr _Ninnau_ does gen i dim gyfeiriad; alle unrhywun yn helpu?
