Dear WELSH-L

        Please excuse the English. I know essentially no Welsh.

        My 13 year old daughter has become interested in Welsh through her
reading. She would like to learn some. She has never studied a foreign
language. I have studied several.

        We have an old pamphlet by Caradar from the 20s, which is interesting
to me, but not practical for Rose. I need advice on a book to start her. it
should be fairly light (and not expensive), but not too silly. She is a fairly
serious young lass! Later we can get the bigger stuff. I have looked through
you posting on material for learning Welsh, as cross-posted to Gaelic-L, but
not found what I want. Schoenhof's lists the following that caught my eye:

        Get by in Welsh,
        Welsh for Beginners, by Angela Wilkes
        Welsh is Fun, by H. Gruffudd & E. Ioan
        Welsh is Funtastic, by H. Gruffudd & E. Ioan
        Welsh with ease, W.G. Jones

        I would greatly appreciate ny comments on these or other suggestions.
        Thanks.
