Episode Extra

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:08:00 GMT

I've had a couple of emails asking for more conversations in the podcast, so that people can get used to hearing the language spoken. That got me thinking. It is an excellent idea, but i don't want to mess with the format of the show, as it seems to work well for everyone. So i'm going to add an extra show as part of the podcast feed, which i'm going to call Learn Welsh Podcast: Episode Extra.

Each Episode will include a brief recap of the main show and a dialogue. The dialogue will take the form of a mini soap opera and include the main conversational elements from the corresponding podcast and some extra words and phrases to increase your Welsh vocabulary.

I'm going to start right back at episode one and create an episode extra for each non revision episode. Episodes 1 to 7 and episodes 9 onwards.

So for the next few weeks i'm aiming to bring out two episode extras a fortnight until i'm up to date.

After that i'll try to bring out one new episode of the podcast and a corresponding Episode Extra and PDF guide every fortnight.

Hope you find the extra podcasts helpful.

Welcome to the Learn Welsh Podcast Blog

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 22:15:00 GMT

Sut mae pawb. Croeso i'r Blog Podcast Dysgu Cymraeg (Hello everybody. Welcome to the Learn Welsh Podcast Blog).

There are lots of language Podcasts available these days. I've counted at least a dozen French Podcasts, half a dozen or more Spanish Podcasts and at least one of each of the following languages. German, Polish, Thai, Armenian, Korean, Irish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese. I think it's great that so many people want to share their passion for learning languages. Looking at the Podcast top ten on sites like Libsyn and Podcast Alley many people are downloading the more popular languages.

With all the choice of languages available I was surprised to not be able to find any Podcasts to help people learn Welsh. There are lots of web sites dedicated to the language, but no Podcasts, as far as I can see anyway. Well there is now. I'm calling it the Learn Welsh Podcast, for obvious reasons :) and i'm hoping to post an episode every week on this very Blog page and hopefully in iTunes, Podcast alley etc...

The Learn Welsh Podcast is designed to teach you conversational Welsh that will enable you to understand other Welsh speakers and to be understood yourself. Each Podcast episode will last about fifteen minutes. In that time I will be teaching you some basic words and phrases that you can use in an everyday conversation. At the end of each Podcast will be a practice exercise to help you remember the vocabulary and to get you used to speaking the language.

The first Podcast episode should be available on this site in the next few days. Please feel free to send me your comments about the first episode once it airs, so to speak. I want to know if you find the format and style of teaching Welsh to be effective and useful for you.
