Here are three generations; one old mother, with grey hair, with her two daughters and two young grand-daughters. That is two girls with their mothers and their grandmother. In the first photo, one granddaughter is no longer a child. In the second picture they are both grown-up. Now, nowadays, I am a granny, with white hair, and the youngest granddaughter has girls herself.

Ma diw hôr gottha dhe Marge. Gevellesow egwal ens. Marge ew an yonca. Nag eus broder dhodhans, etho nag eus hôr wheg dhe'n gevellesow naneyl. Ma hanter hôr dhe Homer, etho ma hôr wheg dhe Marge.

Marge has two older sisters. They are identical twins. Marge is the youngest. They do not have a brother, so neither do the twins have a sister-in-law. Homer has a half sister, so Marge has a sister-in-law. My mother only had one younger sister, but with six older brothers she had six older sisters-in-law. I had uncles and aunts and cousins, but most of them are gone.

This family is very famous. We see them often on our screens. The father and mother have three children. The children have a father and mother. There are three princes and two princesses here. The father is the Duke of Cornwall.

Pandr'ew hanow an teylû-ma? 

Who are these? They are a family. It's not a famous family. There's a father and mother and three children. The father is very tall. Is the father a Member of Parliament? No. He is neither a senator nor a councillor. You will not see him on your TV screen. He works at his computer making games. The mother is quite short. She is not a councillor. She does not work for the Council. Her work is in a school. She is an artist. The children are lively and energetic. They are studying in school and college. Perhaps they would like to be athletes or musicians or Prime Minister. The second family is very famous. What is the name of this family?

Terweythyow nei a wel goraswonegow (po goraswonegesow) ha politycoryon (po politycoresow) ha rielder. Nag ew aga bownans  bos war an scrîn en üdnek

Did you look at the TV and say "Who is that on my screen?"? There are many people in programmes and films. Some of them present the news. There are some others who are actors and actresses. And every sport needs commentators. Sometimes we see celebrities and politicians and royalty. Being on the screen is not their only living.

What is the best thing to learn first in Cornish? Questions perhaps? What is this? Who is that? Who the Devil are you? How much is that? What's the time? Where are the toilets? But questions are not useful if you can't understand the answers! Signs and labels in Cornish are useful for learning.

An rüdhek a wra ajwon rüdhek aral gans y vrodn rüdh. Gwenenen ell gweles flourys en gòlow UV. Ma gidys nectar ow tastewydnya. "Otta nei" emedh an flourys.

 

Life is full of colour. It's a sadness for those that can't see colours. Most people can see all the colours of the rainbow. Birds can discern colours, too. The robin will know another robin with a red breast. A bee can see flowers in UV light. There are nectar guides reflecting. "Here we are" say the flowers.
