Thanks for the recomendation, I shall did deeper in to it when i can.
I have been learning welsh although I've skipped my classes for a while. It does open up meaning to alot of things my favourite is the days of the week in welsh corresponding to the ancient planets (as in other languages) english tends to have a few gods in there too!
I think my crap french helps alot with welsh there is a similar structure and femine and masculine as in french also.
The pronunciation also is interesting at looking at sites i.e ff= f, f=v, dd=th, ll=ch as in loch, you can see if double letters were changed to single the whole sound would change or even give a different meaning i think cope covered some of this in MA. I am lucky as I have native welsh speaking friends to help me but I can't really say much except please and thankyou etc and of course can i have a pint please!
love carolinex
