Online Radio: The P-Celtic Languages

As with the studying Q-Celtic languages, actually being able to listen and understand your chosen language is not an easy skill for those of us not exposed to the language regularly. This is an inherent problem with Celtic languages since there are few places in the world where the languages are actually strong, so even if you are in Wales and studying Welsh, you probably don’t get enough exposure. Fortunately the Internet does offer some options for both Welsh and Breton learners, though it does appear that Cornish learners are left out at this stage. Not surprisingly, the BBC has a good Welsh language site, but no Cornish site. In Brittany, it appears that Radio Kerne is the primary Breton language broadcaster with an online presence. Welsh is also represented by Radio Acen, which is geared specifically towards learners.
