Branwen reading

This is me reading from the Mabinogi, also me doing Cornish.

Yes, I know I have mistressed two syllables in the Dafydd ap Gwilym poem...some arse emailed my head of dept to tell her that they had a very enthusiatic student (!) but that I clearly didn't understand what I was reading.

*I teach the f***ing course.* You can imagine how that smarted....

Actually, the texts in Old English, Old Norse, Old Irish, Insular Latin, etc might interest you---and give you an insight into where I work!

I shouldn't laugh, but you have no idea how that made me giggle. Did they at least let you email back?

I didn't trust myself to behave professionally!
