You've got me thinking now....... My parents spoke Welsh but didn't speak it to us (me and my siblings) at home. In fact they used it when they wanted to speak about something without us knowing.LOL. It was the sixties and welsh was seen as a dying language with no benefits.

I learnt Welsh at school as a second language even taking it for A level, probably cos I was nosy and wanted to know what they were saying. I was fairly fluent when I left but when you don't use a second language you quickly lose it.

The good news is my niece went to a welsh medium school due to where she was my sister was living and has married a welsh speaker so her daughter is being brought up first language welsh..... Will have to start brushing up.
