Depends which part if Wales you are in.
West, Mid and North its prob first language
South East and East nearer the border with England is predominantly English.
and was practically wiped out by being banned in the 19th century.
Welsh is compulsory in all Welsh schools now so its making a big come back.
My Dad was a Welsh speaker but not my Mum so we were brought up with English.
I went to lessons to learn it but am not fluent.
I can understand more than I can speak though.
Aw cool! So if you go to school in one part of Wales they will teach in Welsh and have English as a subject? Then the opposite way round if your from another part?
It's a big part of the Welsh culture so I think it's great most people can still speak it

We have many Welsh primary and comprehensive schools now in South Wales where the curriculum is taught through medium of Welsh. Even English speaking parents are making the effort to learn now to keep up with their kids.

Wow! That's nice and warm for this time of the year. Enjoy it.:)
I am - it's great - but I think it's all set to change again next week.
I don't mind the rain in the Autumn and winter when it's expected
- it's when we have it all summer as we did I get fed up with it.
