I'm teaching myself Cornish, I found a couple of websites. My partner is Scottish ( born in there ). He is not real keen on the English either. We practice Cornish together, but I'm not very good....I'm sure its my Aussie accent, bet I sound ridiculous. I've been to Cornwall and if I ever go back I will be able to ask for a pint of beer in Cornish icon_lol icon_lol


Splan Vicky!

We do sound odd, but it does help us avoid the tedious pronunciation debates! lol

There is a teacher in Moonta who can help with KDL course - let me know if interested. There is an occasional class in Melbourne.

I am a Bard, but not through Cornish - passing 1st grade Unified is my claim to fame.

last visit: 22.09.08 		G'day from Moonta. Just discovered the forum. Sent a note to Vicky offering some local assistance with her family history. Cornish descendant icon_wink on both sides. Have enjoyed a Coopers Ale or two as well. Cheers

last visit: 22.09.08 		We have a couple of experts, a few who practice regularly and many who bravely make an attempt. Bard Lillian speaks it fluently and runs classes here and interstate. I've just mastered the second syllable emphasis of Lowender Kernewek( which we wrongly refer to here as Kernewek Lowender)....but we try.

We have Swanky at the Kernewek (and Coopers and other brews for the less adventurous).

The Sowsnek continue to flood us with their rich and decrepid old.
