Good if you use it!

Welsh can be a difficult language to learn. This has CDs that help a lot! I would recommend taking them along on a long road trip.

Probably the best choice for a beginner...

I chose this particular item to learn Welsh simply because I have used the 'Hugo'-brand of linguistic aids before, and they almost always present a foreign language in very easy lessons while combining both vocabulary and grammar in the way it should be done: by building on previous lessons and gradually expanding your knowledge. In addition to these features of 'Hugo', this product also does what most language products do not do, and that is to provide phonetic transcription. In other words, it tells you, the learner, how to pronounce a Welsh word using English syllables, so it is as easy as when you learned English many years ago. I gave this product only four stars, however, because while I know that phonetics are never exact in translation, the examples in this product were not the best. However, they are the ONLY ones on the marketplace, so....enjoy this item. It is the easiest method to learn modern Welsh.
