    I don’t speak Welsh fluently (though am taking classes), but am sending my kids to Welsh medium schools (ie classes are conducted in Welsh, not just learning Welsh as a second language). We were told by the head teacher that 80% of the kids there don’t have parents able to speak it at home, so does appear to be a growing trend. I assume the feeling is similar in Scotland and NI, if not as many schools teaching in those languages yet.
