    It’s a shame. I remember school, being told off for not speaking welsh, and at the time I found it annoying. Now I’m glad that they did, and find it upsetting that nobody speaks welsh.

      ​@@StardustSnowdrops Girl, don't use that excuse.
      You seem very decent at writing, in fact, your paragraph was written quite well.
      Just get the homonyms correct, because it makes you look illiterate if you don't. Not saying this in a mean way, it's just an easy memorisation activity. Homonyms are words that sound similar but spelled differently, in this case "there":
      • There: "there was a time", "look over there", "there is a house"
      • Their: "their dog", "this is their house", "their toy", "their table"
      Also, to explain the other errors:
      • "that there": it is proper English to connect subordinate clauses (if you split a full sentence in half and each half doesn't make sense on its own, they are subordinate) with a conjunction. You do that naturally, except for "that", which is often dropped by English speakers. This wasn't really a mistake, you can get away with dropping the "that" in casual situations such as YT comment, but it's good to know when it should be used, in case you have to speak with, eg: your boss in the future.
      • "Sense", not "sence". I give you the benefit of the doubt here, it's a common mistake, but easy to learn.
      • "Wales", not "wales". Countries are written with a capital letters. It's like their names, it would be a bit rude not giving respect to the country.
      In conclusion, it's a matter of basic reading activities. As long as you get "there" and "their" correct, I am happy.

    Before anyone complains, look up the Welsh Knot and the deliberate, longtime (and nearly successful) attempt to stamp out Welsh culture and language by the English, then remember at least he, or at least his parents, chose to send him to one of the minority Welsh speaking schools. Not saying it’s still not a valid point that getting told off for speaking English is a bit archaic but make sure you know where it comes from.

      As someone who learned sign language in school up to the highest level, being forced to speak a language or having your grade be affected when speaking another is to help keep you focused on learning that one.

Are you desiring of some day reconnecting with your ancestors' tongue and willing to learn? Are you already and if so, how's it going? Welsh language speek is quite difficult to accquire since the Welsh language isn't really part of any of the big linguistic families most other prominent Indo-European languages within Europe belong to!

    Im always jealous that Welsh people have the privilege of being able to learn and speak their native language. I am Cornish and whilst we are getting a small revival of the previously dead, Cornish language through Welsh speakers, we don't have enough recovered to teach the language to be spoken fluently. Even if we did, because we aren't independent from England and we never will be, it most likely wouldnt be taught in our primary schools... 😞

    For me and many others it's the opposite, and I wish it weren't sometimes. I have Welsh grandparents, but was sent to English-speaking schools in England on purpose because of the prejudice against Welsh people at the time (1990s), and once my grandparents passed away there was no-one to teach me or speak with me, so I never became fluent or used the tongue in my youth. It feels like a part of our heritage is missing or lost or stolen. As if ancient bigotry has robbed us of identity. Am trying to teach myself to speak and write Cymraeg now as an adult, and I've even moved to Wales as part of that journey, but it's really difficult when you consider that nowadays it's thought that only about 30-40% of the native population actually speak Welsh at all (and then it's in different regional dialects), plus if you look and sound English as a person living/working in Wales the native speakers are understandably reluctant to use spoken Cymraeg with you. It's heartbreaking.

This Welsh medium education was apparently so bad and damaging it got him into university?? On top of all that the evidence speaks for itself. Those who attend Welsh medium schools achieve higher grades in both English Language and English Literature grades at GCSE than their counterparts in the English medium sector.
      If he didn’t want to be at this (alleged) disadvantage why did he not ask to move schools? Only he can answer that of course but if the situation was anything like it is in my town, the English medium school is a dump and the Welsh medium school is pretty good, oversubscribed, and has a waiting list of pupils wanting to enrol.
