Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.

Ex 1) Write down the dialogue in Breton, or copy and paste, without the English translations. Read it out clearly, then more naturally 'with feeling'. Imagine yourself actually there in the pub. Switch off the screen, or if using a PC, minimize your internet box. Now, read out the Breton and write down the translations from memory. If you're not sure about a sentence, move on, you may remember later on. Try first with this example : Good luck with the course! Chañs vat gant ar gentell! {   |type="{}"} Chañs vat gant ar gentell { Good luck with the course|good luck with the course } Enter the English sentences : {   |type="{}"} Nozvezh vat Yann { Good evening John|good evening John|good evening john } {   |type="{}"} Nozvezh vat Laouenna. Mat an traoù ganit { Good evening Laouenna. How are you|good evening laouenna. how are you } {   |type="{}"} Mat ar jeu, meur c'hras. Ha te { Fine, thanks. And you|fine, thanks. and you } || "Mat ar jeu" : "jeu" comes from the French word for "game". {   |type="{}"} Mat tre, mersi dit { Okay, thank you|okay, thank you } || Several expressions are used for "Thank you" : "Mersi", "Trugarez" (litterary, mostly unused by native speakers), "Mil bennozh", etc. {   |type="{}"} Petra ez emaout oc'h ober { What are you doing|what are you doing } {   |type="{}"} Ez emaon o teskiñ brezhoneg er Wikiversite. Ha te { I'm learning Breton with Wikiversity. And you|i'm learning breton with wikiversity. and you } {   |type="{}"} Ez emaon o teskiñ brezhoneg ivez { I'm learning Breton too|i'm learning breton too } {   |type="{}"} Splann! Penaos eo da vamm. N'eo ket hi klañv { Great! How's your mother. Isn't she ill|great! how's your mother. isn't she ill } {   |type="{}"} Emañ mat yec'hed dezhi bremañ, meur c'hras { She is fine now, thanks|she is fine now, thanks } {   |type="{}"} Sell! Diwezhat eo! Red eo din mond bremañ. Kenavo { Look, it's late! I have to go now. Goodbye|look, it's late! i have to go now. goodbye } {   |type="{}"} Kenavo, ha chañs vat gant ar gentell warc'hoazh { Goodbye, and good luck with the course tomorrow|goodbye, and good luck with the course tomorrow } {   |type="{}"} Mersi braz { Thank you|thank you } {   |type="{}"} Nozh vat deoc'h c'hwi holl { Good night to you all|good night to you all } {   |type="{}"} Nozh vat Yann { Good night John|good night john|good night John } Check any mistakes, and read out the correct version two or three times. Click on "Reset" to start again. Do this again later on if you have over 1/2 incorrect. If correct, do it again tomorrow. Keep doing this until you can speak the sentences fluently and write them out with ease. Ex 2) If confident , do the same but translate English-Breton (small letters only, no block letters) : Try first with this example : It's up to you now, good luck with the course! Dit a zo bremañ, chañs vat gant ar gentell! {   |type="{}"} It's up to you now, good luck with the course! { Dit a zo bremañ, chañs vat gant ar gentell|dit a zo bremañ, chañs vat gant ar gentell } Enter the Breton sentences : {   |type="{}"} Good evening John! { Nozvezh vat Yann|nozvezh vat Yann|nozvezh vat yann } {   |type="{}"} Good evening Laouenna. How are you? { Nozvezh vat Laouenna. Mat an traoù ganit|nozvezh vat laouenna. mat an traoù ganit } {   |type="{}"} Fine, thanks. And you? { Mat ar jeu, meur c'hras. Ha te|mat ar jeu, meur c'hras. ha te } || "Mat ar jeu" : "jeu" comes from the French word for "game". {   |type="{}"} Okay, thank you! { mat tre, mersi dit!|mat tre, mersi dit } || Several expressions are used for "Thank you" : "Mersi", Mil bennozh", "Trugarez" (litterary, mostly unused by native speakers), etc. {   |type="{}"} What are you doing? { Petra ez emaout oc'h ober|petra ez emaout oc'h ober } {   |type="{}"} I'm Learning Breton with Wikiversity. And you? { Ez emaon o teskiñ brezhoneg er Wikiversite. Ha te|ez emaon o teskiñ brezhoneg er wikiversite. ha te } {   |type="{}"} I'm learning Breton too! { Ez emaon o teskiñ brezhoneg ivez|ez emaon o teskiñ brezhoneg ivez } {   |type="{}"} Great! How's your mother. Isn't she ill? { Splann! Penaos eo da vamm. N'eo ket hi klañv|splann! penaos eo da vamm. n'eo ket hi klañv } {   |type="{}"} She is fine now, thanks. { emañ mat yec'hed dezhi bremañ, meur c'hras|Emañ mat yec'hed dezhi bremañ, meur c'hras } {   |type="{}"} Oh look, it's late! I have to go now. Goodbye! { Sell! Diwezhat eo! Red eo din mond bremañ. Kenavo|sell! diwezhat eo! red eo din mond bremañ. kenavo } {   |type="{}"} Goodbye, and good luck with the course tomorrow! { Kenavo, ha chañs vat gant ar gentell warc'hoazh|kenavo, ha chañs vat gant ar gentell warc'hoazh } {   |type="{}"} Thank you. { Mersi braz|mersi braz } {   |type="{}"} Good night to you all! { Nozh vat deoc'h c'hwi holl|nozh vat deoc'h c'hwi holl } {   |type="{}"} Good night John! { Nozh vat Yann|nozh vat yann } Ex 3) Make up a short passage using the vocabulary you've learnt in the past 2 lessons of Breton Unan. You can have it male-male, female-female, male-female or between several people. Remember: If there are several people, when referring to all of them you should use the plural form (eg. c'hwi instead of te) If you have purchased a Breton dictionary, or learnt any other Breton, it's fine to use that. The more you use it, the more easily it comes. deep
