At Home With Cornish 66

We are still on the subject of shopping ... We know how to say “there is” and “there are”. We know how to say “I have” and “Do you have?” We know how to say “I want” and “I would like”. We know how to say “I went” and “I bought”. Let's look at some questions that might need answers. For “Is there any …?” or “Are there any …?” use “ Eus …? ” e.g. Eus avalow? Are there any apples? Eus keus? Is there any cheese? There is a traditional rhyme: Eus keus? Eus po nag eus? Is there any cheese? Is there or isn't there? Mars eus keus, dro keus. If there is cheese, bring cheese.

 At Home With Cornish 1 Kernowek en Chei    This is a new course which aims to introduce children (and their wider families) to the Cornish language, a little at a time, building up a vocabulary based around familiar things and familiar activities. I want everyone to feel at home with speaking Cornish.    Don't worry that people sometimes argue about spelling or pronunciation. There are variations in Cornish, just as there are in English! It is all the same language. Don't let anyone tell you that what you are doing is wrong. Just enjoy yourself!  (I have given approximate pronunciations on the assumption that most people will not be familiar with the international phonetic alphabet.)    The main thing to remember about Cornish spelling is that when you see consonants "dh" together, they represent one sound, like “th” in English "this" and "that".     And remember that, when it comes to working, little and often is better than occas...
