Thank you very much
for looking at my blog, I have now had well over 400 views from 10 different
countries! Tomorrow I am going to Wales for a week before I return to sixth
form. While exploring, I hope to do some research about the Welsh language and
why its’ popularity is decreasing. So, next week I will be able to upload some
posts about the current state of the language and its’ future.
In the meantime, I
wonder how many of these phrases you can pronounce…
