I picked up this book because all the speakers of Welsh-Romany in my family have passed away. I hoped this would help spur my memory - unfortunately, it didn't but I still find it highly useful as a reference when writing. And I think I could have gotten more out of this book if it was accompanied by an audio version.

I wish there was an in person class somewhere! What a cool language.

The only one of its kind. A great resource for the Soulbonded series. I can only hope I haven't offended too many people too egregiously.
