They may use it to bully other members of staff etc. it may also ensure we receive a lower standard of company CEOs etc. excellence in Welsh does not necessarily guarantee excellence as a whole. <br /><br />The education system continues to change far too often and does not reflect the language as it could.<br /><br />If parents were given a choice and language did not cause dispute, discrimination it would be different. <br />They can be ostracised if they do not understand the language or are slow to learn or are not willing to learn.Choice is key alongside improving the attitude towards the language. <br /><br />People will be worried of the repercussions as there were years ago with shops daubed, holiday homes burnt etc. bullying is not the way, friendly people friendly language. A lot of the language issues are based on the EU giving us lots of money to promote our own language. Politics, Money and language! .<br /><br />Some staff progress in their career purely due to their Welsh..... Not because they are qualified for the job! This makes a mockery of many positions in councils and companies! <br /><br />Can't wait to see what Carwyn Jones does with the promotion of Welsh??????<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-18388345027333381212013-06-01T21:41:10.915+01:002013-06-01T21:41:10.915+01:00What I was trying to say is that at the moment a l...What I was trying to say is that at the moment a lot of people in top jobs in Wales don't speak Welsh at all, let alone write and read it! It would at least be a starting point. I can assure you I speak Welsh, can read it and write it fluently!

Many can speak it few can speak, read and write it!!<br /><br />How will these people in "top jobs" create a report if they can't read it!!!<br /><br />Then we have the literary version of Welsh that is not what is always spoken! It creates difficulties when pigeon welsh is used!!<br /><br />Thanks for the open debate though, obviously you speak it and are maybe not able to read and write it!! <br /><br />Jury has made executive decision ....... that quality of oral, aural and literary skills will keep the language alive!!<br /><br />Many people speak welsh yet refuse to use it as they are belittled for using the written version. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-23426787328909306052013-06-01T15:20:39.920+01:002013-06-01T15:20:39.920+01:00I think all top jobs in Wales should be occupied b...I think all top jobs in Wales should be occupied by fluent welsh speakers.
