[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6550469, member: 718"] Almost all primary school children are taught some Welsh in Welsh located schools, so the best way to promote the language is to carry on speaking it to them so that they too carry on using it. Very many people around here have learnt, or have begun speaking Welsh in their teens or later, many having no previous Welsh language background. They are proud of their achievement and of their bilingualism and extended vocabulary. They can socialise easily in all situations using one or, very commonly, both languages depending on who they talk to. Very soon their thought processes as well as the spoken language becomes bilingual, so they car read something in one language and immediately discuss it in the other, interchangeably. I only wish that I had also learnt French, German and Spanish when I was younger. A friend is fluent in nine languages, including Mandarin and Welsh, even English, which puts paid to the lie that learning any particular language is in any way divisive. If you can't understand the local language, or the language of a region, don't be a lazy complaining git, learn it and use it yourself. [/QUOTE]
