Yes, couldn’t agree more except I don’t have customers, but talking to my wife and her family, sharing their culture and eventually being able to read the books she and her father write is so important.

That’s very inspiring Huw. I would love to have spoken to my welsh speaking relatives in welsh but they have nearly all passed away now.

On our most recent bwtcamp we had someone from San Francisco and someone who is about to move from Washington DC to Berkeley. Not sure if they qualify as ‘southern California’ but close?

I want to be a Welsh speaker because I have performed with a Welsh opera singer since 2013 and have recorded works by Welsh composers. He is a native Welsh speaker. Last May we worked together on the first American performance of Blodwen, the first opera written in Welsh, with a Welsh speaking conductor and stage director, and I was able to break the code more than once. No secrets!

Closer than Wales, certainly, although both these cities are in northern California. They’re about 350 miles north of me.

I want to be a Welsh speaker because I want to be able to speak and understand the language of my lovely country and I hope that as a Welsh speaker I will be able to watch, perform in, and maybe even write and create Welsh Language Theatre!

Yeah, that’s versus 80 miles to Berkeley from me here to the east in Sacramento. California is huge. Let me know if you’re ever in the area, @nancy!

I am a Welshman that never learned as my family moved out of Wales. I farm and it would make things much easier in my community if I could chat in the pub without everyone needing to change to English to involve me!!

I want to become a Welsh speaker so that I can become more involved with the local community, and also to surprise some of my work colleagues and prove that I’m up to the challenge.

I want to be a Welsh speaker so I can watch Pobol Y Cwm without subtitles! Also, because my Mam speaks Welsh, she lives in the Valleys which is predominantly English speaking and I would love to have a conversation in Welsh with her there.
