Fluency in greeting, making polite requests, talking about family and making casual conversation are just a few of the many benefits students can expect to gain from working their way conscientiously through all six units of this course. When students have completed the course, they should also know how to enquire about the way in Welsh, understand directions received and explain the way to others. They should be fluent in asking about and expressing prices, and in making other requests and responses associated with shopping. They should have gained valuable oral language skills for making someone's acquaintance in Welsh, and for talking about holiday plans and travel. PLUS MUCH MORE - in terms of mastering the art of communicating clearly in spoken Welsh! The course will also help develop the user's ability to write modern Welsh, with dictation exercises and two-way translation drills.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST USE OF THE `TALK WELSH TODAY!' CD

THE `TALK WELSH TODAY!' CD OFFERS FIVE DIFFERENT AUDIO OPERATING MODES PLUS THREE SILENT OPERATING MODES.

THE FIVE AUDIO OPERATING MODES (WITH FULL SOUND) ARE:-

WELSH SOUND AND TEXT WITH AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE, WELSH SOUND AND TEXT WITH KEY-PRESS ADVANCE, INDIVIDUAL PHRASES OF WELSH WITHOUT TRANSLATION, INDIVIDUAL PHRASES OF WELSH WITH TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH, AND INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS RELATING TO WELSH SOUND AND TEXT.

THE THREE SILENT MODES OF OPERATION AVAILABLE ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
Welsh Text without Sound, Translation into English without Sound, and Welsh Text with Translation into English without Sound.

HOW ALL THE DIFFERENT OPERATING MODES CAN GET TO WORK HELPING YOU TO BUILD UP YOUR WELSH

To begin with, the INDIVIDUAL SENTENCES WITH TRANSLATION Option offers you the opportunity of seeing both the Welsh text and the English text displayed simultaneously while you listen to the reading.

Use this purely to familiarise yourself with meaning of the sentences being read aloud. Once you are familiar with the meaning, dispense with the simultaneous translation display, and run the program in AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE Mode.

In AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE Mode, only the Welsh text will be displayed... Listen to the Welsh carefully, many times, keeping an eye on the Welsh text and simply trying to understand as much of the reading as you possibly can.

If there are still some sections of the Welsh which you cannot fully understand, keep selecting the Translated Text Display Without Sound Mode to review the translation of the whole passage at your leisure, again and again, until you feel you understand everything in the written text.

When you feel your understanding of the written text is complete, begin to monitor your ability to follow the spoken Welsh. Do this by selecting the SOUND WITH MOUSE/KEY-PRESS TEXT ADVANCE Mode.

The SOUND WITH MOUSE/KEY-PRESS TEXT ADVANCE Mode is essentially an easy-to operate MANUAL Text Advance Mode. YOU, the user, have to advance the text display by key-press or mouse click to keep pace with the sound. Keep on practising this until you are easily able to advance the text manually in pace with the reading. By the time you have reached that stage, your aural comprehension will have reached a sufficient level for you to be able to devote serious attention to speech practice.

Read UNIT 1 aloud yourself, phrase by phrase, along with the computerised reading. When that too becomes easy to you, read the passage aloud in Welsh without accompanying sound from the computer. To do this, select the WELSH TEXT DISPLAY WITHOUT SOUND Mode.

When you can handle this with ease, check yourself out on the INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS Routine, for UNIT 1. This will deliver a different set of questions each time you run it. Some of the questions are designed to check your auditory recognition and understanding of spoken Welsh, and others aim to check your understanding of written Welsh. Keep working at the INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS Routine until you accomplish at least two consecutive runs without errors.

When you have thoroughly mastered UNIT 1, use the mouse to select UNIT 2, and begin the whole process again with UNIT TWO, working with all the various routines from SOUND WITH AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE right through to INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS - and carry on in this manner all the way to UNIT SIX. By the time, you have mastered UNIT SIX, you will have progressed quite some way into Welsh talking territory!
