"It's time," I am thinking, "to look at my lessons for children once again." I must make corrections and improvements. Perhaps, there are learners who would like to teach children themselves. Which is the first, bos locative or bos descriptive? What are the best words for a first alphabet? We should look at food or clothes, perhaps. Children should eat and wear clothes.
At Home With Cornish
This course aims to introduce children to the Cornish language a little at a time, building up a vocabulary based around familiar things and familiar activities.
Don't worry that people sometimes argue about spelling or pronunciation. There are variations, just as there are in English! It is all the same language.
The main thing to remember about Cornish spelling is that when you see consonants dh together, they represent one sound, like “th” in English "this" and "that".
And remember that, when it comes to working, little and often is better than occasional long sessions. Aim for ten new things a day, and you'll be amazed at how the language builds up.

Day 1
Here are some ways to say "hello" to a friend or family member:
Lôwena dhis. Joy to you. (sounds like loo-enna theez)
Ha sos. Hi, pal. (sos sounds like zawz)
Ha Mamm. Hi Mum.
Ha Tas. Hi Dad (Tas sounds like Taze)
Children learn about things by asking questions, so,
Pandr'ew hebma? What is this?
(pandr'ew rhymes with boys’ name Andrew, stressing “dr’ew”)
Or, alternatively,
Pandr'ew hedna? What is that?
