Learn Welsh on your iPhone
 |
This is the first (to my knowledge) of the Apps for the iPhone/iTouch to help you learn Welsh. It is a superb little App with a Lite version that is free and a $0.99 (59p) cost for the full version. It is very well supported online and the developer seems to be a very open chap or chapess who welcomes feedback and suggestions for improvement/expansion. The App basically teaches you the sort of common phrases that you would find in a Phrasebook. The official blurb reads as follows:
|
Croeso – welcome!
This is a first Welsh phrase book perfect for learning a little Welsh to use on your visit to Wales, or to practice what you are learning between Welsh lessons.
It has twelve themed sections on different topics:
- greetings
- common phrases
- numbers
- telling the time
- days, weeks and months
- food and drink
- travelling
- places
- directions
- illness
- weather
- occupations
All phrases are shown in English and Welsh with a recording of how the Welsh is said.
There is a Practice mode where you are shown the Welsh and given the opportunity to see whether you recognise what it means.
You can find reviews and chat abouit the App on AppStore HQ, the developer’s support page is at Welsh Lessons Support Page and
the home page for the App is at Welsh Lessons.
That looks awesome. I’ve been looking for something like that. I just downloaded the lite version. I can’t wait to check it out!
