Surely English is joint mother tongue for 99.9 % of Welsh speakers nowadays right? Even in peak Plaid Cymru farmland territory I'd guess everyone has as great a command of English as someone living in Cardiff  ;D

.


you re commenting on something you clearly know nothing about - and coming across as an antagonising tit

As I've said before, the Full English is just the base upon which the Scots/Welsh/NI have improved upon. Sorry but the Full English is the worst of the British breakfasts.

Congratulations for winning dick of the year with that line, you patronising, inconsiderate bellend.  It’s our language, we want to speak it as is our right. And plenty of us do speak it.

And don’t play the ‘I was only joking’ angle. Go and educate yourself. No wonder more and more Welsh want independence.

Never said anything otherwise to be fair  :-X Of course plenty of people use it at home above English.

My apologies.

I speak Welsh and English fluently and consider Welsh my mother tongue. It’s the language of daily life in my part of Wales. Also speak little bits of Spanish although having not used it in years, it’s mostly gone. It always comes back quickly when I’m in a Spanish speaking country for any length of time and I keep meaning to try and learn it more formally.

I worked with a Welsh speaker from Anglesey who, when speaking English, sounded distinctly Scouse.

Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian/Montenegrin (what used to be called Serbo-Croatian), English, Spanish, and a bit of Italian. I also have a passive knowledge of Macedonian, as do most people who grew up in the BCSM speaking region.

Love it.

I'll swing my linguistic cock on the table then - cos I'm proud of this......

Conversationally/Commercially/Socially - four
English
French (used to be fluent but back in my teens)
Swedish (pretty much fluent, although a little rusty through lack of practice)
Estonian (that's my new superpower, although academically I have only the equivalent of GSCE)

Very, very basic level
I also have a smattering of
German
Spanish
Hungarian
Italian
Slovenian.

I can say thank you in over 40 languages and you're welcome in most of those.

Qualifications - academically, I have various level certifications in 7 languages:
English
French
Latin
Ancient Greek
Swedish
German
Estonian

I can converse relatively smoothly with Danes and Norwegians by using my Swedish.

Thats a fascinating list 24*7,

What is your background to know so many

are you a UK diplomat ?

have you learned for work or is language a side passion for you

Dutch is easy to understand but takes a while to get around some of the pronunciation.
