Another Wenglish entry as dwi'n dysgu Cymraeg [I'm learning Welsh]
Ron i'n synnu I ddarllen [I was shocked to read] in last night's that a Welsh Assembly report on Welsh in schools shows 78.4 per cent of 11 to 15-year-olds in Wrexham's secondary schools have no grasp of the language o gwbl [at all].
Lle dan ni'n mynd yn anghywir? [where are we going so wrong?] I thought things were supposed to be getting better. But the figures speak for themselves. Just 238 out of 6,838 secondary school pupils, and 261 out of 8,935 [26.7 per cent] in primary schools speak Welsh at home.
Ers talwm [for a while] people have been debating on this site, whether Welsh should continue to be compulsory in school - and even though it is - these figures show things aren't working.
Felly, be dan ni'n mynd i wneud am y broblem? [therefore, what are we going to do about it?]
