	Speak some Welsh
		The Welsh alphabet is different from the English one in several ways, which means un-learning and re-learning some letter sounds.
		On the other hand, the Welsh way of spelling is remarkably consistent: you will not find 'silent letters', (knife, knee, gnash) or letters sounding completely different in combination, (through, though), or the same vowel with different sounds in different words (navy, navvy).
		So for these two sounds, Welsh has two letter-combinations - 'th' is reserved for the soft form like think, and the 'new' letter 'dd' is used for the sound at the beginning of words such as 'that' and 'though'.
