Da ew genam lies wheskeren, an tycky-Duw dres ehen. Saw scant nag eus gwelys genam tycky-Duw veth e'n gwenton-ma po e'n hav-ma. Eus whesker et ow lowarth? Ma neppeth war an losôwen-ma. Trefyas an gog. Nag ew trewyas (trefyas) en gwironedh ha nag eus cog veth. Ma wheskeren goskeusys etto - leslôwen trewyas. Nag ew hei teg pecar'a tycky-Duw!

I like many insects, the butterfly especially. But I have hardly seen any butterflies this spring or this summer. Are there any insects in my garden? There is something on this plant. Cuckoo spit. It's not spit in fact and there is no cuckoo. There is an insect sheltered in it - a spittlebug. It is not beautiful like a butterfly!

Nebes geryow A few words

cog (f) cuckoo
dres ehen especially, particularly
en gwrionedh in truth, in fact < gwir true (SWFM yn gwiryonedh)
goskeusys sheltered
leslôwen (f) plant bug
losôwen (f) plant, vegetable
trefyas an gog (m) cuckoo spit
trewyas ~ trefyas (m) spittle
wheskeren (f) insect < whegh six (legs)

And here's another bit of a lesson for practice.

Otta tabm descans moy. There are more than three hundred days in one year and every day is special! Someone always has a birthday, so the day is important to that person. Perhaps you have a "name day". Do you have a saint's name? There are other people to commemorate too. There are festivals and international days for thinking about things. Yesterday was World Water Day. All the world should get pure clean water for drinking and washing. Many people don't have enough water, sadly. ...

Ev a vedh skithys gen kerdhes ha crambla et ow lowarth. Re yonk ew ev rag an descans ma! What next?  I am always losing things.  Now the lost thing is my voice.  Sadly.  I am croaking like a frog.  I cannot teach on Zoom this week, because I cannot speak. I said, " I am sorry," to my students. " See you next week, I hope."  But without a voice, how can I control a little three-year old savage? He will be tired out by walking and climbing in my garden. He is too young for this lesson. Building up our Cornish language Par...

There will be wind. There will be huge waves on the north cost, perhaps 30ft at midday. But the waves won't be good for surfing. (Thanks to CornwallLive for the photo of the Cribbar - the waves won't be clean like this one.) They will be dangerous. There is a warning, "Be prepared for floods near the sea." We are ready for the wind in our garden. Everything is secure. Now I can think of my next lesson. Cressya emann agas tavas Kernowek...
