Hi everybody,
I don't know if anyone here is interested in learning Breton, but I thought I would let you know about this useful-looking resource I just found:
http://brezhoneg-digor.blogspot.com/
It's a blog in Breton, and the cool thing is, this guy posts videos (audio only) of spoken Breton (it sounds like storytelling to me), and below each video there's quite an accurate transcript of what the speaker is saying. The videos are usually short enough that you don't get exhausted from following along in the transcript, and the speakers are quite expressive and fun to listen to.
If there's anyone here who can actually read Breton and tell us all a little more about the idea behind these videos, I'd welcome some more knowledge about this blog!

This is great, many thanks.
It appears that my french contains a number of Breton words without my knowing.

Hi
The answer comes late because I had many difficulties to register on this forum ...
Yes I can help you because I am the creator of this blog. I do not know exactly what you want to know, but basically, I created this blog in order to provide an opportunity for everyone to listen to native speakers in the Breton language, and especially to allow beginners and people who aren't accustomed to hear native speakers to understand with the help of transcripts, that are below the videos. I tried to be as accurate as possible when I transcribed, I believe every word, even the smallest, as very important to give life to language. My goal is to inform the beauty of the popular Breton language.
But if you have more specific questions about the language, you can ask your questions, I'll try to answer them.

I am bumping this thread, I know, but it's a shame to let this marvellous resource go to
waste, especially given it's a language that already gets no love.
Trugarez!
