It's an oral tradition so we have no written accounts of Celtic life or language – we have to rely on Classical sources for that. There are regional differences, but these phrases should help you get by during your visit:</p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><h3 class="k-type-sub-header">"Poi wedoi essi ti?" </h3><p> "Hello, how are you?"</p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><p> Although they have a reputation for being hot-headed, many Celts are well socialised thanks to regular trade with tribes in Western Europe. Greek historian Diodorus Siculus recommends seeking out the inhabitants of Belerion on the Cornish coast, a tribe 'especially friendly to strangers.' </p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><h3 class="k-type-sub-header">"Arut regami mag."</h3><p> "I honour you, long-haired lord."</p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><p> Celtic society is very hierarchical. The warrior elite command loyalty from their people based on their ability to keep the tribe safe and well-fed. If you fail to ingratiate yourself, expect to feel the sharp end of an iron sword or spear.</p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><h3 class="k-type-sub-header">"Monnimi prinuman turki."</h3><p> "I want to buy a boar."</p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><p> Feasting is an important communal event and a chance to improve your social standing. Celts look kindly on those who can bring booze or meat to the table - rare luxuries in Celtic daily life - so impress your fellow diners by bringing along an indulgent offering. </p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><h3 class="k-type-sub-header">"Peiu legiu esti sindon?"</h3><p> "Where is the sacred grove?" </p></div><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><p> Celts mark the changing of the seasons with religious festivals. Expect bonfires, unbridled alcohol consumption and lavish gold offerings to the gods. </p></div></section><div class="k-g-gs-l"></div></div></div></div></section> <div><style> @media only screen and (max-width: 599px) { .penultimate-image .k-g-stp-header, .penultimate-image:before { background-image: url(https://web.archive.org/web/20180204085642im_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/608x342/p031y6rw.jpg); } } @media only screen and (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 1007px) { .penultimate-image { background-image: url(https://web.archive.org/web/20180204085642im_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1120x630/p031y6rw.jpg); } } @media only screen and (min-width: 1008px) { .penultimate-image:before { background-image: url(https://web.archive.org/web/20180204085642im_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1600xn/p031y6rw.jpg); } } </style></div><section class="k-g-stp-container step-number-6 even penultimate-step penultimate-image boxed"><div class="k-g-stp-limiter"><div class="k-g-stp-header"><div class="k-g-stp-header-inner"><span id="zc2n39q" class="k-g-stp-anchor" tabindex="-1"></span><div class="k-g-gs-sn step-number-6"><div class="step-number__image"></div></div></div></div><div class="k-g-stp k-g-guide-stp-question"><div class="k-g-stp-inner"><div class="k-g-gs-sq"> <div class="k-g-gs-sq-header-container"><div class="k-g-gs-sq-header"><h2 class="k-g-gs-t k-type-header"><span class="step-title__step-number">6. </span><span class="step-title__title">Trip advisers</span></h2><div class="k-g-gs-tb k-type-body-article"><p>What are others saying about 'Celtic Britain'?</p></div></div></div> <div class="k-g-gs-sq-options options-count-4"><div class="k-g-gs-sq-option-container" id="zc2n39q1"><div class="k-g-gs-sq-option option-image"><div class="heading"><p class="question-step__heading-text">Tacitus</p></div><div class="answer"><p><a href="?stp_zc2n39q=1#zc2n39q" class="k-link-button question">Choose<span></span></a></p></div><div class="image" style="background-image: url(https://web.archive.org/web/20180204085642im_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/512x288/p0320ds5.jpg);"></div><div class="description"><p>Historian from Gaul</p></div></div><div class="k-g-gs-sq-reveal reveal-image"><div class="context"><p>Review:</p></div><div class="heading"><p>'Awful weather'</p></div><div class="image"><img class="resp square" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180204085642im_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/80x80/p0320dw7.jpg" data-pid="p0320dw7" alt=""></div><div class="attribution"><p>c. 98 AD</p></div><div class="response"><p>"The climate is wretched, with its frequent rains and mists, but there is no extreme cold.
