The Internet has many useful resources to do with the Cornish language. Using them, you can learn Cornish, listen to it, watch movies in it, and read much of its literature, without ever leaving the house. With the right (free!) software, you can even video-chat with friends over the Internet : how futuristic is that!
Here are links to some good places to find resources.

The Texts archive has most of the historical corpus of Cornish literature, which you can find with obvious searches for 'Cornish', 'Cornwall', 'Kernewek' and the like.
The well-known video site has a number of Cornish film clips; search for 'Kernewek' or 'Cornish language'.
Internet Chat
With a broadband internet connection, you can use your computer to chat with friends and colleagues, either in text, audio or video. The latter two need a microphone and a web camera, of course. The software is free, and runs on both Macintosh and Windows computers. Some of the main programs used are detailed below, and you'll need to create a free account with either of them to use the service.
This one is also compatible with the iChat program bundled with modern Macintosh computers.
Internet chat for free, and free/cheap normal phone calls world-wide.
