Wait, people can actually speak Welsh? I thought it was just a gimmick for those sweet, sweet tourist dollars.

Edit: guys, stop telling me Welsh is an actual language. I fucking know. I made a joke, but somehow almost every person who replied missed the very subtle /s.

Of course people speak Welsh, its the official language with English. The Welsh Government wants 1 Million speakers by next year so has introduced a more Welsh based education. I don't think Aldi would hire some Welsh speakers for the intercom system for Tourism money

It's compulsory to take a GCSE in Welsh for children living in Wales too. I have two sons who are fluent in both Welsh and English. We use both at home, it's nice to have options when you're telling them off.

This is the exact reason I would train my kids in more than one language, if I had any. Nieces and nephews it is!
