They have enough trouble learning English and living their life and getting their job. Learning Welsh is not really going to do anything.

I wouldn’t say the students ever enquire about the Welsh language. They are stimulated when we go to the St. David’s Day celebrations... but taking the time to actually learn the language—they are not so enthusiastic

I think that would be quite

preventative. Especially when you are

talking about asylum seekers - they have such a limited amount of money. They won’t pay for English lessons either so I can't see them paying for a Welsh class.

I don't speak Welsh and I manage my life without speaking Welsh. I think if they lived somewhere that wasn't Cardiff, where they would hear more Welsh. If they have to choose to learn Welsh or English, they need to concentrate on their English. Sorry.

It is important for me to speak with local people in their own language. Acceptance will be much easier, that's what I feel. For me, English is my 3rd language, and Welsh my 4th. Someone said…’we are ashamed…you have a lot of children, it’s not your first language and you still want to try to learn!’ But my point of view is not like them. I encourage them. Why not do that? They are living all life here. I am in this country, sooner or later I will be a citizen of this country…I want to learn Welsh. Even if it's only for my pride, it is good enough. But it's not the

case. It's about business. Some jobs

require Welsh. When we had our child, I thought we should learn the language...it makes sense for him to learn the languages of this country.

I did think to myself, are they really going to go for this? Because I presumed, we have got enough troubles with English but they really enjoyed it - they come from multilingual societies themselves and they kind of 'get that'. Do you know what I mean?"

Mae hi’n bosib integreiddio mewn mwy nag un iaith.

Does dim rhaid bod yn rhugl.

Mae llawer o’r dysgwyr hyn eisoes yn amlieithog ac felly nid yw dysgu iaith arall yn broblem.

It isn’t essential to be fluent.

Many of these learners already speak several languages and therefore learning one more isn’t a problem. It is possible to integrate in more than one language.

Recognising and understanding that there are two languages in use in Wales is very important. In addition to supporting social integration, the Welsh language can also be a valuable skill in the workplace. Providers help learners to understand by integrating the Welsh language into their lessons.
