Volume 1
A New Way to Learn Welsh!
Developed in Wales by Basil Davies and Cennard Davies
Spoken Welsh 1 is a beginner's course that consists of two books, Catchphrase 1 and The ABCs of Welsh, accompanied by 7.6 hours of audio.
Catchphrase 1, based on the popular Radio Wales Welsh language lessons, presents the general structure of the language. You'll learn to use Welsh in basic situations with explanations in clear, non-grammatical terms. Emphasis is upon speaking the language rather than speaking about it. Includes 20 lessons containing dialogs, explanations of the main patterns, and exercises, plus answer keys and a glossary.
The ABCs of Welsh is unique: It uses a genuine learner, London-born Carole Watkins, taught by three teachers from North, West, and South Wales, who give you the ABCs of Welsh — and all other letters in the alphabet as well! Contains 32 units focused on everyday speech.
While other premium computer-based language courses offer only the means to learn to speak, with the proven Audio-Forum® audio/text method, you'll not only speak fluently, you'll also master reading, writing, and grammar skills at a scholarly level — all with the confidence and polish of a native Welsh speaker.

About the Language
Welsh (Cymraeg or y Gymraeg) belongs to the Brittonic branch of the Celtic language family. It is spoken by over 740,000 people in total — throughout Wales, where it is an official language, as well in the English border towns and in the Welsh emigrant communities located in the Chubut province of Argentina. The United Kingdom and Argentina recognize Welsh as a minority language. Historically, it has also been called Cambrian, Cambric, and Cymric.
