Product Description

Product Description

The Modern Welsh Dictionary is intended for the growing number of learners of Welsh in all walks of life, and is designed with your needs in mind. It contains hundreds of example phrases of spoken and written Welsh, so that you can see the language in context. Excellent grammar notes on tricky words and important topics mean that help is always on hand, whether you are working in Welsh or in English. The handy paperback format and superior coverage of vocabulary makes the Modern Welsh Dictionary the first choice for beginner- and intermediate-level learners of the language, as well as those who want a quick-reference dictionary that can be carried easily. Native Welsh speakers will also find the Modern Welsh Dictionary a useful resource in clarifying questions of vocabulary, grammar and usage. You won't need to resort to English to say that you are sending an email or using the Internet, as the Modern Welsh Dictionary has comprehensive coverage of contemporary Welsh. Bydd Cymry Cymraeg hefyd yn darganfod bod y Geiriadur Cymraeg Cyfoes yn adnodd defnyddiol i ateb cwestiynau ar eirfa, gramadeg a defnydd. Mae'r Geiriadur Cymraeg Cyfoes yn cynnwys triniaeth gyflawn o'r iaith gyfoes - fydd dim rhaid defnyddio'r Saesneg i ddweud eich bod yn gyrru e-bost neu'ch bod ar y rhyngrwyd byth eto!

5.0 out of 5 stars help is at hand - an outstanding learners' dictionary, 12 Mar 2008
This is not just a very good small dictionary, it is designed most effectively with learners in mind. It sets words in context, it offers very helpful notes on usage and grammar in the dictionary text (better than the usual forbidding grammatical appendices) it distinguishes between north and south Wales usage, and it is very helpful with the dreaded mutations. It also has a beautifully clear type-face and layout. It doesn't have a huge total number of words, but it always seems to have the words I'm groping for. Welsh is a hard enough language to learn, and most of the small dictionaries I've seen don't make it much easier. This one came as a breath of fresh air, and is very reasonably priced. A quality product. If you are learning Welsh, I can't recommend it highly enough. Diolch yn fawr, Mr King!

5.0 out of 5 stars King is the King... erm.. brenin :), 19 Oct 2008
If you're looking to learn Welsh, or are a speaker but need a modern dictionary, then this is one to reach for. Modern terms (computer, internet), as well as a handy National Assembly terms section, make this one to sit on the desk of AMs as well as schoolkids. And since it's by Gareth King you know you're getting quality, and something for everyday use.

(If you want to learn Welsh, you should check out his Colloquial Welsh book/cd. Recently updated and republished, and worth every penny)

2.0 out of 5 stars Modern Welsh Dictionary, 10 Jun 2009
As an english person I was very disappointed with this dictionary as it does not give any indication of how to pronounce the welsh words.
