Kentel 1: Verbs
This Lesson contains a few common verbs you will need to know for a conversation.

Vocabulary / Geriadur
Note : The examples use different tenses (present, imperative, past, ...). These tenses are explained later on ... so, don't worry !

Exercises/Poelladenn
As in the previous courses, do this exercise:

Ex 1
Write out the Breton words, section by section.

Have 2 columns, clearly separated, and write Breton and English. Then cover up one column (eg. English) with paper and write the corresponding words on the paper. Then try it the other way round, cover up the Breton, and write out the words using the English as cues. This will be a little bit more difficult.

Repeat all this after an interval, the more you do it the easier you will remember the words.

Ex 2
Now, this will be a little more difficult

Take the following verbs and put them down on paper Skrivañ Echuiñ Karout Kas Sellout Mervel Kregiñ Kemer Mont Dont Now, Each one has an opposite. Now re write the positives beside them Cover up the original list, and write the list in English as before. eg. Karout - Love Skrivañ - Write And again cover up the Breton, but write the English Opposite. Eg. Love- Hate Write - Read

Now, Cover up the first English column, and write the Breton for the 2nd English. Hate - Kazout Read - Lenn Cover up the English and write the opposites again. Kazout - Karout Lenn - Skrivañ Then back to the beginning again Karout - Love Skrivañ - Write Carry on doing this until you can do it with ease. Again, you will learn these verbs really quite quickly while doing this. But you can also use Adjectives Bras - Big - Small - Bihan - Bras ect. And nouns Mamm - Mum - Dad - Tad - Mamm You can include as many words as you want. ar vaouez vihan - The small woman - the big man - an den bras - ar vaouez vihan You can do practically anything with this. If you want, you can go back to Level 1 And use this technique as a test to see if you remember them. If you wish, add more verbs to your list, and if you find a pair of verbs (eg.Love/Hate) Add them firstly to the complete list and then to the smaller list in Ex 2.
