-You don't really speak much Welsh -with her at home.	0:16:08	0:16:12
-No, not at all.	0:16:12	0:16:14
-There's no need, really.	0:16:16	0:16:19
-If we do speak Welsh...	0:16:19	0:16:22
-..mostly, we think it's funny...	0:16:22	0:16:25
-..and doesn't sound right.	0:16:25	0:16:29
-It isn't natural, is it?	0:16:30	0:16:31
-It isn't natural, is it? - -No, it isn't.	0:16:31	0:16:33
-Jamie Bevan comes from Merthyr.	0:16:36	0:16:39
-He went to Rhydfelen -before Rhydywaun opened.	0:16:39	0:16:43
-He is the current Chair -of the Welsh Language Society.	0:16:44	0:16:47
-He thinks that the results -of our survey are positive...	0:16:47	0:16:52
-..despite the fact that 10% -never use the language any more.	0:16:52	0:16:55
-Your survey shows -that the majority of those...	0:16:57	0:17:01
-..who were educated in Welsh still -use the language to some extent.	0:17:01	0:17:06
-A very small proportion -don't use Welsh at all.	0:17:07	0:17:12
-I don't think -that Andrew's school year...	0:17:12	0:17:16
-..was very different to mine.	0:17:16	0:17:19
-A lot of us -came from non-Welsh-speaking homes.	0:17:19	0:17:23
-A lot of us left school...	0:17:23	0:17:24
-..and didn't use Welsh again -for many years.	0:17:25	0:17:27
-Once you realise that Welsh -doesn't belong to the school...	0:17:28	0:17:32
-..you start building networks...	0:17:33	0:17:35
-..to use your Welsh -in all walks of life.	0:17:35	0:17:38
-But, there was one more part -to the survey.	0:17:38	0:17:40
-Before finishing...	0:17:41	0:17:42
-..I asked the former pupils to leave -comments about the Welsh language.	0:17:42	0:17:46
-According to one -prominent consultant...	0:17:46	0:17:49
-..those comments add meat to -the bones of the preceding answers.	0:17:49	0:17:53
-"I use my Welsh with my -daughters who attend a Welsh school.	0:17:55	0:17:59
-"I speak a little every day."	0:17:59	0:18:01
-"I speak more Welsh -since my son has started at school.	0:18:01	0:18:04
-"He brings home Welsh books -and I help out."	0:18:04	0:18:07
-"I'm so happy -that I continued to speak Welsh.	0:18:07	0:18:10
-"I'm learning foreign languages..."	0:18:11	0:18:14
-"I speak more Welsh than ever.	0:18:14	0:18:16
-"I feel more comfortable -showing that I speak Welsh.	0:18:16	0:18:19
-"It's very useful -working as a doctor."	0:18:19	0:18:22
-"I've lost confidence -speaking Welsh.	0:18:22	0:18:25
-"I'd like to do an evening course -to gain more confidence."	0:18:25	0:18:28
-"Conversation can be tricky."	0:18:28	0:18:31
-"I know I can get it back."	0:18:31	0:18:34
-Cefin Campbell is an expert -on linguistic planning.	0:18:37	0:18:40
-He's amazed at how positive -the survey's results are.	0:18:40	0:18:45
-He does say they need -to be handled carefully.	0:18:45	0:18:48
-There needs to be a warning -with any survey you send out.	0:18:48	0:18:53
-There's always a danger that they -give the answers you want to hear.	0:18:53	0:18:59
-You have to be careful with that.	0:18:59	0:19:01
-Putting that to one side...	0:19:01	0:19:04
-..I still think -these are very heartening results.	0:19:04	0:19:09
-He feels the respondents' comments -say more than the figures.	0:19:12	0:19:16
-It's heartening that a lot of them -say they use Welsh at work.	0:19:17	0:19:22
-Either as teachers -or teaching assistants.	0:19:23	0:19:26
-For them, Welsh has been -an economic advantage.	0:19:26	0:19:30
-The most interesting thing -in all the answers...	0:19:31	0:19:34
-..is also the most worrying -for me.	0:19:35	0:19:39
-It's the number of parents...	0:19:39	0:19:42
-..who use the language more -with their children now...	0:19:44	0:19:48
-..because they've started -at Welsh schools.	0:19:48	0:19:51
-It's great that their children -are going to Welsh-medium schools.	0:19:51	0:19:56
-However, it demonstrates...	0:19:56	0:19:58
-..that their use of Welsh -with their children is occasional.	0:19:58	0:20:03
-Welsh isn't spoken on the hearth -in these homes, on the whole.	0:20:04	0:20:09
-So the language -isn't transferred to the children.	0:20:09	0:20:13
-What's the answer to that?	0:20:15	0:20:17
-There are a number of ideas -the Welsh Government could adopt.	0:20:17	0:20:22
-I think there's a challenge there. -It's a priority.	0:20:23	0:20:26
-The Chair of the Welsh Language -Society is pushing the government...	0:20:29	0:20:34
-..to give more opportunities for -Welsh speakers in the South East.	0:20:34	0:20:38
-As you've raised in this programme, -Welsh isn't relevant...	0:20:41	0:20:44
-..to children who come from -non-Welsh-speaking homes.	0:20:45	0:20:48
-That doesn't mean -Welsh-language education has failed.	0:20:49	0:20:53
-What's failing -is government policies.	0:20:53	0:20:56
-They are meant to bolster -Welsh-medium education.	0:20:56	0:21:00
-I think there's much more -the government could do...	0:21:00	0:21:04
-..like strengthen the -Welsh Language Act to support that.	0:21:04	0:21:07
-Christine Chapman is the Assembly -Member for the Cynon Valley.	0:21:08	0:21:12
-She isn't a cabinet member.	0:21:12	0:21:14
-She has represented Labour -in Cardiff Bay since 1999.	0:21:15	0:21:18
-The comments -at the end of the survey...	0:21:19	0:21:21
-..show Welsh hasn't become -the first language in many cases.	0:21:21	0:21:25
-Is enough being done -by your Labour government?	0:21:25	0:21:28
-I was very heartened by the survey.	0:21:28	0:21:30
-It is about encouraging Welsh -to be spoken in the communities.	0:21:31	0:21:35
-This is what Welsh Government -is focusing in on now.	0:21:35	0:21:39
-It's not just about -the language of the home.	0:21:39	0:21:43
-It should be in employment as well.	0:21:43	0:21:46
-I'm seeing changes actually.	0:21:47	0:21:49
-There's a lot more to be done.	0:21:49	0:21:51
-But there's generally a much more -proactive approach to it now.	0:21:51	0:21:55
-Andrew Coombs sends his six-year-old -son to a Welsh school.	0:21:59	0:22:03
-What do you like to eat -for breakfast?	0:22:04	0:22:06
-Toast and apple juice.	0:22:06	0:22:08
-Apple juice?	0:22:08	0:22:10
-He's happy the survey shows...	0:22:10	0:22:12
-..that the majority of his -school year still use the language.	0:22:12	0:22:16
-I'm a little surprised that so many -people say they still speak Welsh...	0:22:16	0:22:21
-..and that they -use the language every day.	0:22:21	0:22:24
-Despite English -being the language at home...	0:22:24	0:22:27
-..Andrew says he does -try to speak Welsh with Ollie.	0:22:27	0:22:30
-He hopes his son -will see a value to the language...	0:22:31	0:22:35
-..growing up in the Valleys.	0:22:35	0:22:37
-It's important to me that Ollie -uses his Welsh when he grows up...	0:22:37	0:22:41
-..and that he continues to use -his Welsh when he leaves school.	0:22:41	0:22:45
-That would be very nice to hear.	0:22:45	0:22:47
-There isn't much Welsh used -in the Valleys.	0:22:47	0:22:49
-If people like me and Ollie -use more Welsh...	0:22:49	0:22:52
-..maybe that will push -other people...	0:22:52	0:22:54
-..to use the language -outside school too.	0:22:55	0:22:57
-Next week, -after Tata Steel's announcement...	0:22:58	0:23:01
-..that almost 1,000 jobs -will be lost in Wales...	0:23:01	0:23:04
-..we look at the effect -in the Port Talbot area.	0:23:05	0:23:08
-We ask what's the future -for communities...	0:23:08	0:23:11
-..that are home -to the heavy industries?	0:23:12	0:23:15
