Its getting confusing in our house!
My 4 year old son is quickly picking up Russian words as I, slowly, learn them. This is great! Once we are able to speak better Russian and my son has has become adept at writing his own native English, I hope to be able to teach him written Russian.
All very positive stuff.
But we live in Wales and my son has just started his first year at school. This means, as part of his schooling, he has to learn Welsh. Again all good, he has been teaching me the odd Welsh word too.
Only, I fear that between us we are about to give birth to a new Russian-Welsh language if we start getting mixed up!! :lol:
There is one advantage however, to pronounce some Welsh words properly you have to make the same sounds as some Russian words, something we can both already do. :D
Lets just hope we can keep the two languages seperate, if not I might be searching for a Russian Welsh speaker!! :o :lol:

The Welsh language nearly died out, so a few years ago the Welsh went on a mission to revive it by teaching Welsh in school again as well as adding Welsh to all road signs, shop signs etc etc. Even our bills are sent to us in both English and Welsh.
But its still rare to hear Welsh spoken on the streets and there are only a few people in the sticks who's first language is Welsh. Mainly its in the north, where you can go into cafes and the like and hear Welsh spoken as a first language and then the vast majority can all speak English perfectly too.
cool thanks!!
