What is your success in our Cornish language? Can you read, write, speak and listen to the language with understanding? Or are the words beyond comprehension? Are these true for you? We already looked at the first three steps for speaking (shown below). But before speaking, we have to hear the words, and listen to them carefully. 

1. My ell convedhes nebes geryow ha lavarow cowsys aswonys.

2. My ell convedhes res a lavarow cowsys aswonys.

3. My ell convedhes an poyntys chîf dhort devyn cott cowsys, gwres a tavas aswonys.

 1. I can understand a few familiar spoken words and phrases.

2. I can understand a range of familiar spoken phrases.

3. I can understand the main points from a short spoken passage made up of familiar language.

1. My ell leverel ha dasleverel geryow udnek ha lavarow cott ha sempel. 

2. My ell gorryby dhe qwestyonow sempel ha rei kensa kedhlow. 

3. My ell goven ha gorryby dhe qwestyonow sempel  ha cows ow tòchya ow lesow. 

1. I can say and repeat single words and short simple phrases.

2. I can answer simple questions and give basic information.

3. I can ask and answer simple questions and talk about my interests.

John Tonkin 1693 a scrifas hebma:

Menja tüs Kernôwek bes gosôwes dhe cana vy 'jei ell e glowas ...

John Tonkin 1603 wrote this:

If Cornish folk would but listen to my singing they can hear it ...
