Why Breton needs more than a vocab app
Brezhoneg has four mutations, complex initial consonant changes, and dialect variation. Generic apps skip all of it.
Four mutations
Soft, spirant, hard, and mixed mutations drilled with the triggers that produce them.
Kemmadurioù in context
Mutation practice tied to real sentences and verbs, not isolated tables to memorise.
Sourced Brezhoneg
Breton text is sourced or curated, never AI-generated. The Brezhoneg you see is real Brezhoneg.
No Duolingo Breton
Duolingo never built a Breton course. blas. fills the gap with a curriculum from absolute beginner upward.
