Tamm ha Tamm
Tamm ha Tamm is an
online series of programmes in Cornish for beginners.
The first programme in the series was launched on St Piran’s Day
2011, with a new programme available online every month for a
year.
The aim of the series is to provide a resource for people who
would like to learn Cornish but who don’t have time to go to an
evening class. Each programme follows Steve Penhaligon, who
is learning Cornish, in every day situations, such as ordering
drinks from a coffee shop and going to work.
The programme is a collaboration between myCornwall.tv and
MAGA. Henry Tamblin from myCornwall.tv says:
“We are really pleased to have teamed up with MAGA on this
venture. Kernewek being the corner stone of Cornish culture,
it was only right that myCornwall.tv become involved and we are
excited to help promote the revival of the language.”
