I bet I made a mistake there.....

I am English but I did my degree in Swansea and I learnt a little Welsh while I was there. Welsh language is well on the rise and as I understand it there is a huge shortage of Welsh language schools everywhere in Wales, not just the predominantly Welsh-speaking areas.

When I lived in Swansea (I am back living in England now) I would hear Welsh spoken here and there - lots of people said that hardly anyone in Swansea spoke Welsh, but you'd hear it a fair bit. I used to work in the shopping centre and more than a few of the customers would come in speaking it amongst themselves.

I think it's a good thing, especially if you teach it while the kids are young and in a Welsh-medium school since then they will grow up to feel less self-conscious about speaking it.

Incidentally I am originally from Staffordshire, and once heard Welsh being spoken on the bus! I nearly keeled over in shock.
