Welsh Book/CD Pack (Teach Yourself Languages) (Teach Yourself Complete Courses)

The aim of this book/CD pack is to teach you to understand and speak Welsh as it is spoken today. In order to achieve this, the language introduced is centred on a wide range of realistic, everyday situations. The course covers the four basic skills - listening and speaking, reading and writing. If you are working on your own, the accompanying recorded material is particulary important as it will provide you with the essential opportunity to listen to Welsh spoken by native speakers and to speak it yourself within a controlled framework. The coursebook contains 21 thematic units, which are preceded by an alphabet and pronunciation guide, a mutation chart for quick reference, and a map of Wales. A more detailed reference section, the key to the exercises, a Welsh-English vocabulary and an English-Welsh vocabulary are included in the back of the book. The two accompanying CDs provide over 120 minutes of listening material. The book (0 340 86860 0) and CDs (0 340 85958 X) are also available separately. Alternatively a double cassette pack is available which can be purchased on its own (0 340 86861 9) or in a pack with the book (0 340 868 61 9).
