An excellent place to start... - By: Duffryn, 07 Jun 2008 
Very good beginners book - I'd never spoken Welsh before, my family comes from Wales & so I thought I'd give it a go. As one of the previous viewers says; listen to this a few times & you suddenly find you can count, name colours, say hello. All very basic but you do need to start somewhere.
I found the layout of the book really approachable as well. I've always found learning languages difficult & the cartoon approach means that there are no dense lists of words or grammar to scare you off! I would imagine this makes it a great book for children too.
So if you're looking for a good place to start - buy this book! It definitely helps - I was flicking through the channel guide for S4C the other day & actually found I could read bits (the children's programmes naturally!) - exciting stuff!
Beware of the CASSETTE not CD - By: Carole A. Hailey, 17 Jan 2008 
Please be aware, as I was not, that this comes with a cassette tape. Hardly handy for "on the move" learning nowadays. I have no way of listening to a cassette or turning it into an MP3.
I sure the book may be great, but for me this was a complete waste of money. Please be aware that you have to have some way of listening to the cassette.
Welsh for Beginners Tape/Paperback Complete Pack - By: joheward, 11 Apr 2006 This is not as juvenile as it looks, & is definitely the best intro for the complete beginner! Keep listening to the tape over & over whenever you can, & look at the book alongside it now & then, and, SUDDENLY, it falls into place & you find that you can suddenly countin Welsh, & say simple phrases & ask simple questions; my favourite so far "beth ydy hwn?" which has a lovely melodic ring, believe it or not! Every thing starts to make sense & you can go on to the morein depth books/cds that are available on the market. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!
Welsh for Beginners - By: , 01 Feb 2004 Excellent, fun guide to Welsh for beginners. Suitable for adults as well as children. Covers all the basics using cartoon illustrations. Worth buying.
Good basic conversational grounding - By: Mr David M Oswald, 30 Sep 2002 
Adults, don't be put off by the childrens style cartoon nature of this book. This book gives you a great entry to Welsh conversation. Most adults when trying to learn a language try to jumpin at a level too high for them & because they're not fluentin a week get put off & give up. This book starts at a very basic level & gives you the confidence to try something harder.
I livein Wales now but was brought upin England. It always amazes me to see all the young children speakingin Welsh & effortlessly changing back to English. How did they learn Welsh? Well how did you learn English? The answer, very simply to start off with. You picked up single words & then moved to simple sentences & developed from there. This is exactly how you learnin this book.
My only criticism is that the book seems to be fairly South Wales biased. Peoplein the South of Wales speak slightly differently to peoplein the north. They pronounce, &in some cases spell words differently. They also construct sentences slightly differentlyin some cases. There is no mention of thatin this book. However putting that aside you could make yourself understoodin all parts of Wales if you followed the textin this book.
All that is left to say is 'Pob Lwc'
