Growing interest in Cornish language

Seventy seven candidates passed their Cornish Language Board exams this year and successful students were presented with their certificates at a ceremony at Lys Kernow on 15 September.

The new Grand Bard, Liz Carne, congratulated the students and praised the work of our volunteer teachers.

The number of students taking the Kesva exams has risen again, almost 15% up on 2017, and shows the growing interest in learning the language. Sixty nine of the successful candidates of the Cornish Language Board examinations are from Cornwall including one from the Isles of Scilly, two are from England and five are from Brittany.

Students can learn Kernewek in a variety of ways. Details of regular classes, online and other learning methods can be found on the Learn Cornish Now website: www.learncornishnow.com
