Book Description

June 1, 1999 Hugo
Now learning a foreign language can be enjoyable as well as challenging, and not require a trip back to the classroom. Available in both book-only or book-and-cassette format, these Three-Month Language Courses are outstanding self-study programs designed for the individual seeking to acquire a good working knowledge of a language in a short amount of time. Devoting just over an hour daily to the course, the program provides grammar lessons, contextual conversion drills, relevant word lists, and graded exercises, giving you an immediate and practical grasp of the language. In addition, pronunciation is made easy with Hugo's unique "imitated pronunciation" system, which represents foreign sounds with English syllables. Whether you are a businessman tackling an international account, a student preparing for an adventurous holiday, or simply a lover of new languages, the Three-Month Language Course makes learning easy, satisfying, and more fun than ever before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best choice for a beginner..., November 18, 2001
This review is from: Hugo Language Course: Welsh In Three Months (Paperback)
I chose this particular item to learn Welsh simply because I have used the 'Hugo'-brand of linguistic aids before, and they almost always present a foreign language in very easy lessons while combining both vocabulary and grammar in the way it should be done: by building on previous lessons and gradually expanding your knowledge. In addition to these features of 'Hugo', this product also does what most language products do not do, and that is to provide phonetic transcription. In other words, it tells you, the learner, how to pronounce a Welsh word using English syllables, so it is as easy as when you learned English many years ago. I gave this product only four stars, however, because while I know that phonetics are never exact in translation, the examples in this product were not the best. However, they are the ONLY ones on the marketplace, so....enjoy this item. It is the easiest method to learn modern Welsh.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Resource for Welsh Beginners, December 7, 1999
This review is from: Hugo Language Course: Welsh In Three Months (Paperback)
Cymraeg, the language of the Welsh people, is an ancient language which usually takes a lot of effort to learn. This book tries to simplify that task. It also makes it fun to learn Welsh. This is an excellent book for Welsh beginners, experts and what the Welsh call "il - dysgwyr"- literally "econd learners."Buy the cassette version from Amazon and hear Welsh as it is spoken!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good if you use it!, August 1, 2008
Welsh can be a difficult language to learn. This has CDs that help a lot! I would recommend taking them along on a long road trip.
