A few years ago, I made a television series to see what would happen if I travelled around Wales, speaking Welsh only. It was a linguistic experiment, but I was pleasantly surprised that even in areas that were predominantly English speaking, people knew more Welsh than they thought – and were willing to use it with me, even if they had only a few words.

Welsh is spoken by nearly 30% of the population in Wales as a whole, and in many areas you'll hear it used alongside English on the streets, in the shops and on the buses. (There’s also a sizeable Welsh diaspora in England – I myself was brought up in the Welsh speaking community in London, where my family have lived since the 1880s.)
