Breton /Cornish exchange

Hi, I am from Brittany and I am doing the Cornish course, which is very enjoyable. Having a Breton course would be great help for the learners. Meanwhile, I would like to offer the possibility for those who are interested in both Cornish and Breton languages to have an exchange, say by WhatsApp (a group) or Fb Messenger. I would be delighted to help people picking up Breton thanks to their Cornish (it is really easy enough to learn either language knowing the other one).

Cheers,

Alex

Hello, my name is Tamim. I have bilingual background: I know Russian and Arabic. I have also studied English for IELTS and currently studying German (now I have smth A1-A2). Not that long ago I heard Breton language for the first time and now I can undoubtably say that it is by far my favourite European language. I would be grateful to find a person to learn Breton for there are very little resources online, especially for English or Russian.

Sincerely,

Tamim

Sorry, do you know Breton language? I am striving to find someone to help me to learn it. If you know it, or if you know somebody who knows please let me know.

@francoismahe are you able to help @tamim, or do you know someone who could?

Hi.
Yes I do Tamim. Are you looking for distance type learning lessons ?
If that’s the case I can ask a few people around me.

Hi,
Tamim, you can check Régine’s facebook page called : Ar Vesenjerien. She is used to teach online. She is a native english speaker who speaks breton very well (she has been teaching it for decades).
If you don’t use facebook she allowed me to share her email adress with you. (but I have yet to find a way to share it with you privately on this forum). Ask me again if you can’t get in touch with her via facebook, I’ll be happy to help.
I am really glad to see people interested in our beautiful-endangered language !

Kalon vat deoc’h !
Heart good to you = good luck !

@erwan-2 if you click on @Tamim’s name, you’ll get a little popup with a Message button. That lets you send a private message and share information such as email addresses.

thanks Deborah ! But it’s written : This user’s public profile is hidden. and there is no button ‘message’ to hit. I must be missing something. :thinking:

just for information, there is a very good breton grammar in English : A handbook of modern breton (armorican) by D.W.F. Hardie, Ph.D. published by University of Wales Press, Cardiff in 1948

You don’t see this?

If not, it may be because Tamim is a fairly new Forum participant. Try clicking on my name and seeing if you can message the email address to me. I could pass it on for you then.

One for my list for Sion Corn :slight_smile:

Good afternoon!

@tamim @erwan-2 I’ll create a small private group for you so you can share such things between you.
