Who can speak Welsh?

Is it worth the hassle? What do you get out of it? My baby is 1 and I'm wondering if it's worth sending him to a Welsh school for a better education? I did Spanish for a bit. Iechyd da, innit.

Welsh around this area can certainly be a benefit when looking for a job, i speak a bit of welsh for my work which is required since i live up in abergavenny (High volume of welsh speakers up here).

Rydw I wedi siarad Cymraeg ar hyd fy oes. Rydw I yn cefnogi Clwb Pel-droed Caerdydd

I live in mid west Wales, so I've spoken welsh since the day I said my first word.

I don't think I could even put a sentance together in Welsh and it doesn't bother me one bit. Never had to use it

I cant,Sorry but would rather speak Spanish.

All my five children speak welsh i think its a good thing.in fact my daughter teaches welsh

Agreed Annis. Spanish is spoken all over the world compared to Welsh been spoken in pockets of Wales.

The amount of money this country wastes on converting english to welsh is incredible and should be the first thing which is cut by this new government as well as the Welsh Assembly.

The Spanish language can get some terrific jobs

Send them to a welsh school. They will be able to speak 2 languages and that will help with getting a job, also Welsh is a growing language and Children should be encouraged to learn the language of their country. There are plans for 3 new welsh schools to be opened in cardiff due to the demand and there are plans for more in south wales, hopefully soon there will be a lot more welsh speakers in this country!

I spoke welsh before i could speak english. Important to keep the language alive in my opinion

Iv always wished i could speak welsh if im honest it was first on my bunk off list at school.But iv made sure all my kids are welsh speakers and i love hearing them speak welsh.I remember listening to my twin sons aged 5 singing our anthem in the bath.Made me cry

thats good,

Nid wyf yn siarad Cymraeg ond os byddwn yn cael y cyfle i byddai'r ddysgu'r iaith. Nid yw un iaith yn ddigon...

(I am not a welsh speaker but if I would have the chance i would learn the language. one language isn't enough)

loads of welsh speakers in canton.

Can speak some, not fluent though and i am ashamed of that fact

Being able to speak the language is a link to our history, our past and our future. I had the misfortune of being born in England. However I have learnt Welsh, though can’t speak it as well as I would like. My wife’s first language is Welsh as is my 4 year old son’s. I am so proud of the fact that he talks to me and his mum in Welsh. This makes us stand apart from the rest of the UK.

Fluent in Welsh and it comes in handy when I deal with Welsh speaking clients in work.

Keep the language alive
