I can't speak any Welsh (the schools didn't teach it in my day) but yes, happy St. David's Day one and all.  :D

Actually Welsh is pretty logical - at least it is phonetic - one you learn the sounds you can pronounce the words easily - no idea what they mean, but you pronounce them! - there are some bizarre mutations where the start of the word changes according to the context but apart from that - away you go - no more difficult than Portguese that's for sure!

There is a difference between conversational and public speaking Welsh as opposed to most Welsh you will find on maps and road signs.

The latter is usually English with some letters changed or the order of words modified (for example Golf Mini for Mini Golf). This is similar to the international language Esperanto in that it can be understood even by people with no former knowledge of the language.

The prior is somewhat more valid as a genuine language.
