There’s no wrong reason to learn Cymraeg, or any language (bylines.cymru)

In June I went to the land of castles and spoke the tongue of the dragon. By which, of course, I mean Wales and Welsh, Cymru and Cymraeg. For my first proper holiday in over 20 years, I planned the trip and went by myself. As a single person, I had two choices: travel alone, or don’t travel. I chose to travel.

Many people have mentioned that it can be hard to find Cymraeg speakers with whom to practise. While in Cymru, I think I figured out some of the reasons why. They may be simpler than one might think, and they’re certainly not personal only to me.

I grossly misread the title and was confused in the article for a bit. I thought it said “there’s no reason to learn Cymraeg, or any other language for that matter.” Was ready to fight. But now I see my error.
