Sounds good. Is it available other than through Amazon?

Contact Doctor Cymraeg on his Twitter account above as he had some copies & was posting them out to people who preferred not to shop wit Amazon.

The three books now available fill a gap for those using Duolingo, and the grammatical notes are helpful. Be aware, however, that at least Vol. 3 needs a good proofreader!

I can’t figure out how to edit this. On looking at the book again I’d rather say that the vast majority is correct (not an easy thing to do), but that a little further proofreading would have been beneficial.
