St Piran’s Day this year will see the
launch of a DVD of the popular Cornish
language programme, Tamm ha
Tamm.
Tamm ha Tamm, meaning ‘Little by
Little’ in Cornish, is a series of
programmes designed to give
complete beginners confidence using
the Cornish language in their everyday
lives.
Produced by myCornwall.tv in
association with MAGA, the Cornish
Language Partnership, the series was
Tamm ha Tamm DVD continued
initially only available online. The first
episode was streamed on the
myCornwall.tv website on St Piran’s
Day last year, and a new episode was
uploaded to the site every month for a
year after that.
Now, for the first time, all twelve
episodes of the first series have been
brought together on DVD and will be
available to purchase from 5th March.
“We’ve been astounded at how
popular the first series of Tamm ha
Tamm has been online, and making it
available on DVD will take the
programmes to an even wider
audience,” said Elizabeth Stewart,
MAGA’s Project Support Officer.
“Whether you’re intent on mastering
the Cornish language or you just
fancy watching something a bit
different, Tamm ha Tamm seems to
have universal appeal.”

Partnership Update
MAGA started the year with a bang,
with 65 translations completed in
January and 12 substantive enquiries.
We also ventured into the realms of
Twitter, where you can now follow us!
Lots of ways to pick up information
now, with newsletter, Facebook and
Twitter!
The year’s learning opportunities
kicked off with the Agan Tavas
Pennseythen at the beginning of
February and in this newsletter you
will find details of a day for new
learners in the east of Cornwall.
Register now also for the Tregedna
weekend on March 23rd-25th, to help
more advanced students improve
their spoken Cornish and for the
Kowethas’ Pennseythen on May 11th13th. With all of this plus the launch of
the Tamm ha Tamm DVD and a new

Ar Redadeg
By Morwenna Jenkin
The ‘Redadeg,’ the relay race for the
Breton language, will take place once
again between 12th and 19th May
2012. The race covers 1500km all
around Brittany and is run day and
night by groups of Breton language
supporters who have bought one
kilometre sections and the right to
carry the baton through those
sections. The race will start in Brest,
passing through Montroulez/Morlaix,
St Brieg/St Brieuc, Roazhon/Rennes,
Naoned/Nantes, An Oriant/Lorient,
Karaez/Carhaix, Kemper/Quimper
and finishing in Douarnenez.
The idea of this relay came from the
Basque Country, where the Korrika
started 25 years ago, and the
Redadeg now takes place every two
years in Brittany. This is the third
edition. The first race was organised to
help finance the Diwan schools but
now half the money gained goes to
Diwan and half to other projects set up
to promote Breton in publishing,
drama, nature activities and sport
amongst others. Each kilometre is sold
for 100 euros to individuals or clubs
and 200 euros to businesses or local
government organisations. The baton
carrier is accompanied by
others and in 2010 about 10 000
people ran altogether. A message
held within the baton and passed on
from one runner to another will be
read at the end of the final kilometre in
Douarnenez. This symbolises the
transmission of the Breton language
from one person to another, from one
generation to another.
Promoting Breton
Although the relay is organised to help
finance Breton it also has a much more
important role. The theme this year is
Brezhoneg ha Plijadur (Breton and
Pleasure) and concerts and different
activities are organised all along the
route and especially at the beginning
and the end. This helps to publicise the
language and many non-Breton
speaking sympathisers also
participate. The aim is to link Breton
speakers and non-Breton speakers, to
provide opportunities for exchange
between young and old and between
Bretons and supporters from
elsewhere. In 2010 there were runners
representing other Celtic countries,
such as Wales, Ireland and Cornwall.
If anyone from Cornwall would be
interested in taking part in the relay this
year, please contact Morwenna Jenkin
at [email protected].
This year a song has been written by
Dom Duff to publicise the relay and a
video of it is available to watch on
Youtube: http://youtu.be/
CLtpn2z91DU?hd=1.
It is hoped that the ‘Ar Redadeg 2012’
will be even more successful than the
two previous ones.
