Very different to English, which is why those with English as first language probably have more difficulty mastering it. For example: stress emphasis on opposite syllable to English, different letters in the alphabet, the dreaded LL sound etc etc I tried to teach a bit of Welsh to Darren Branagh (who speaks Irish Gaelic), but gave up. And he keeps reminding me Gaelic is the Q variant of the celtic languages (hence the Q-Celt name) and Welsh/Cornish/Breton the P version. So he insists on rubbing it in that he's the Q(L) celt, I'm the P(C) celt. :-(( How's that for sneaking back on topic? :-) -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
