I learnt a few years ago.

Best thing I did in years - my life is richer for it. I don’t mean that everyone should learn - that’s up to them. It just that it brings me masses of joy!

Said I could speak, read, write and understand Welsh on the census for the first time.

I used to when I was little and still know some bits, but I’ve finally started to relearn it - I realised with Duolingo available there was nothing stopping me.

I think it’s very much dependent on the area in Wales.

If you’re in the heartland of the language - West Wales, North Wales etc, it’s very much part of the everyday fabric of life. Much more likely that the language will stay with you through life.

I'm in a similar boat but didn't get on with Duolingo as it was teaching me a different type of Welsh to what I would hear in my family - my family are South Walian and more informal than Duolingo Welsh. I'd like to go to Welsh classes.

That’s my biggest gripe with it, I’m from Llanelli originally and literally no-one ever pronounced “sut dych chi” the way Duolingo would have it. So I’m taking it with a pinch of salt.

radio cymru interviewed an australian aboriginal lady a couple of weeks ago. she started to learn Cymraeg last june during lockdown using duo lingo and was fluent in her interview, albeit with a broad australian accent. it was great.

Yeah you might say "sut dych chi" to your 85 year old great aunt but there's no way I'd say it in my immediate family or to friends. My family are more likely to use "shwti?" as we're all a bunch of peasants really

That’s amazing. It can be harder in areas of Souty Wales (even though there’s actually more speakers than in the north).

There are little groups and networks though.

There’s quite a few organisations who do online meet-ups etc. There’s people all over the world learning that way, often with no other speakers near them.
