Biography
Gareth King has taught Welsh at all levels in Wales and London, and is the author of numerous books for learners of Welsh, including Modern Welsh: A Comprehensive Grammar, The Routledge Intermediate Welsh Reader, Basic Welsh and Intermediate Welsh: A Grammar and Workbook. He is also the series editor for the Colloquial range of language manuals, and a professional translator.
'This volume is a welcome addition to the literature and guides on language learning. It contains information on 200 very apposite words and short phrases which are very clearly explained, often giving both a North and a South Wales variant. The author is careful not to pass judgement on which version is superior or preferable for the advanced learner. In many of the 200 chosen examples, where confusion may reign, the author has skilfully anticipated the learner’s concerns and covered in sufficient detail the types of mistakes or tendencies which characterise any attempt at getting to grips with the details of a new language.'
Professor Colin H. Williams, Cardiff University
