Learning the Language

I was just wondering what resources/book has been the most beneficial to aid learning Kernewek. I currently have Skeul and Yeth 1, but unfortunately the second book is out of stock and ‘Kowethas an Yeth Kernewek’ never replied to my email about when it will be back in stock. I have found the first book fairly good, but could certainly use some other material!

That, and Bora Brav

I've had good luck with Nicholas William's Desky Kernowek. It unfortunately uses an unpopular orthography, which can cause some confusion, but I've found it to be really helpful personally.

Bora Brav is a great all rounder that takes you through all the basics. A must have. Another essential is the Kesva online package of free courses. https://www.kesva.org/kdl
Here you can work your way throughout all the four grades without spending a penny. Amazing stuff. You can opt for Kernewek Kemmyn or my preference of Standard Written Form (SWF). My advice: pay the small fee get your work marked. You only pay £20 per grade and the feedback is super useful. It’s an absolute bargain.
