Desky Kernowek

This course follows 'Desky Kernowek: A Complete Guide To Cornish' by Prof. Nicholas Williams. Like the book, it's suitable for beginners, but doesn't stop after the basics. The course is best used alongside the book for a good understanding. The spelling system used is Kernowek Standard, which is similar to the SWF with traditional graphs. I am not affiliated with the writer or publisher of Desky Kernowek; I'm just a supporter of Cornish :) Words, phrases and verb conjugations ahead!
