"There is Cafe Cwtch in Swansea. Nice coffee too. "
Mae bar yn bae Caerdydd 'Cwtch Bach' a 'Cwtch Mawr' ym Mhontcanna.
For those who don't speak the language of heaven there's a bar in Cardiff Bay literally 'little hug' and it's sister near the city centre called 'Big Hug'
Both are warm and friendly. We've used them to meet 'dates' from here.

Only as first language in certain schools round here. Where we are its not used as a first language, but the further into wales you go then yes I think it is. Every school in wales teach it as part of the national ciricullam |

"Can i just hijack this thread. Does everyone in wales speak welsh. Is it taught in schools as a first language or is it just used to keep the welsh language alive"
You really go like to live life on the edge 
No, not everyone in Wales speaks Welsh, not all of us are Welsh, for a start lol
There are schools which are Primary Welsh language, and those primary English, but a Welsh component is taught to all pupils until they are 13 
Bi lingualism is part of the Welsh Assembly's constitution, and there is a Welsh Language Act.
Being bilingual is a distinct advantage in the civil service, and it is often encouraged to take up lessons.
Welsh, though, is decreasing in the traditional heartlands of the language, according to last census, but overall it is growing as a percentage of the population.
And, no, we don't all switch to speaking Welsh in a pub when an Englishman walks in
Speaking here as an Englishman who has lived in Wales for twenty years |
