I'm also (slowly) learning. I agree wholeheartedly with most everything you say. There's actually quite a demand for Welsh language in terms of employment in Cardiff, but more than anything I think it can only be a good thing to give your brain the chance to immerse itself in a new language, surely it will make it easier to learn other new stuff in the future! My favourite Welsh word of the week - 'joglyn' meaning you lazy thing! Good luck with your Welsh adventure, it's a beautiful country.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15179319253563450256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-21341597469471446942014-01-21T15:59:34.277+00:002014-01-21T15:59:34.277+00:00Yes, it all makes sense to me - although I don'...Yes, it all makes sense to me - although I don't see a huge demand for Welsh... still the ability to learn a language will be very helpful for the kids, I firmly believe that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838426651793558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-35414848792623875622014-01-21T15:58:49.161+00:002014-01-21T15:58:49.161+00:00:-) I hope so - although I expect there will be so...:-) I hope so - although I expect there will be some tears along the way - probably mine!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838426651793558151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2718701145803848252.post-61726190330823024402014-01-21T14:58:33.428+00:002014-01-21T14:58:33.428+00:00Learning another language is a great idea.

When we lived in Germany our boys learnt German very quickly, mainly through playing with other kids so much so that when we went into shops or restaurants, they would always correct me! I struggled to learn the language but that never stopped me especially when you receive such a positive response from your new neighbours. I think they respect you more for doing it. <br /><br />Good on you and how many times do you see as an adult how many companies cry out for languages in employment? I know I do.

I am a Gaelic speaker from Scotland and went to an immersion school. It will definitely be an advantage for your children in terms of learning other language, understanding other cultures and points of view and of course in terms of finding a job (a few years down the line).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535627684398323245noreply@blogger.com
