Intermediate Welsh, a grammar and workbook, is designed for learners who have achieved basic proficiency, and wish to proceed to more complex language. It presents a broad range of grammatical topics, illustrated by examples which serve as models for the varied exercises which follow. The emphasis throughout is on colloquial, spoken Welsh used by modern day native speakers. Features include:

- clear, accessible format

- many useful language examples

- jargon-free grammar explanations

- sample drills and exercises

- full key to exercises



This new edition has been redesigned for greater clarity, examples have been updated, and a new grammatical index has been added.
