They should teach it to people who WANT to learn the language, I've had to go through school having to learn the basics without having a choice... there's only a very small amount of people in South Wales who speak Welsh.

It's the same with many other subjects, they teach the basics up until GCSE and then you can choose whether or not you want to carry on. A fair enough principle.

Over 50 % of Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion speak Welsh, over 25 % in Pembrokeshire.
That's quite a large minority.
