Welcome to the session “Understanding Cornish” in slow and deliberate speech. Apart from this Introduction now, this lesson will be in Cornish only. You can use it for comprehension practice or alternatively for pronunciation practice. In order to do this, repeat each phrase after I say it, maybe even start saying it with me. This is called ‘mirroring’ and can be a excellent method to train pronunciation. You can also record yourself doing it to hear how far your pronunciation matches mine. Have fun!

Wolcòm dhe’n sedhek “Convedhes Kernôwek”. An descas ma a vedn gweres dhewgh ûsya clowes ha convedhes Kernôwek. 

Welcome to the session “Understanding Cornish”. This lesson will help you get used to hearing Cornish and understanding the language. 

Whei a vedn clowes an lavarow a dhescasow whegh dhe dheg, en kensa en tooth kescowsek, hag òja pôwes bian an lavar arta cowsys tabm sygürra ha wotiwedh whei a vedn clowes an treylyans Sowsnek. 

You will hear the phrases from Lessons 6 to 10, first in conversational speed, after a pause a little slower, and finally the English translation.

Na scòdhowgh war an treylyans! Nag üjy an treylyans bes rag checkya mar qwrüsso whei y gawas en ewn. Sayyowgh convedhes kebmys dr’ellowgh ha gwrewgh ûsya boton pôwes gas sonell mars omglowo whei bos res dhewgh môy a dermyn. 

Don’t rely on the translation! The translation is just for checking if you got it right. Try to understand as much as you can and make use of the pause-button of your player if you feel you need more time.

Whei a âlja pôwes ewedh ha òja hedna lâwl an lavar: 

“Drog ew genam. Nag era vy o convedhes. Ello whei leverel hedna arta tabm sygürra, mar pleg?”

You can also pause and then say the sentence: 

“I’m sorry. I don’t understand. Can you say that again a bit more slowly, please?” 

Then rewind and listen to the Cornish phrase again. 

Nena gwrewgh troyllya emann arta ha cosowes an lavar …

Gwary teg gen convedhes Kernôwek!

Have fun understanding Cornish!
