I got this as a kid, so looking at it now, wow is it dated! Phoneboxes, corded telephones, boom boxes, record players... And the hair and clothes styles in the artwork... I really liked it when I read it as a kid, although I never managed to learn much Welsh. That was more on me than the book, though.

Looking at it as an adult, I think the layout is not so great. It's alright for a very brief overview. The pronunciation guide at the back is useful, and there is a two page spread of some basic Welsh grammar rules, but the layout of the pages was confusing, and I would have preferred more grammar rules in with the phrases rather than hidden at the end.

I can't comment on the internet linked stuff, because I didn't have access to use it as a kid. I would assume that the links have changed massively in the last twenty years though.
