Synopsis

Intermediate Welsh is designed for learners who have achieved basic proficiency, and wish to proceed to more complex language. It presents a broad range of grammatical topics, illustrated by examples which serve as models for the varied exercises which follow. The emphasis throughout is on colloquial, spoken Welsh used by modern day native speakers.

About this title

Review

Gareth King, an experienced teacher of Welsh to adults, has in the short space of three years published a comprehensive reference grammar of spoken Welsh; a lively, up-to-date introductory language course; and now two further 'grammar-workbooks'. This impressive opus constitutes a solid, much-needed and most welcome contribution to the descriptive grammar literature on modern colloquial Welsh and a considerable achievement....For more than one reason, both the beginner and the professional linguist alike who approaches spoken Welsh with books such as these to hand is a far luckier student than were those of my own generation, and Gareth King is to be thanked....I am sure that for many people these books will have had the effect of putting modern spoken Welsh firmly on the map; let no one underestimate the importance of that.
