Our physical proximity to France is a co-incidence.
I think people should know something of their neighbours' language(s),
to find out something about the culture. Having their TV channels
would be a start, something that Belgium and the Netherlands learned.
I suppose cable helped there.

No, really we shouldn't.

No-one should have to suffer Welsh language broadcasting.

That's a bit narrow-minded.... no, absolutely pig-headed.

I would be imaginatively surprised should you prove that you do not
have access to/service from public broadcasting (let alone commercial)
outlets in Your Language.

So why would you be 'forced' to tune/view programming in Welsh?

Your choice is to ignore it.

I didn't have that choice when I was made to learn Welsh at school.

But your original comment was, "No-one should have to suffer Welsh
language BROADCASTING." No mention of schooling in that comment that
I can ascertain.

Lurning (deliberate) another language, or even being exposed to other
languages, 'should' enhance how you appreciate/understand your native
tongue.

It really is interesting, and most of all, fun... as in "meeting
people".

And I refer you to my previously made point that there are barely any
Welsh people who are not competently conversant in English and hence the
opportunity for meeting one is limited to say the least.

Learning other languages does have benefits, I don't deny that, but at
least make it something useful like Spanish (try travelling in South
America without any), Chinese, French (across the channel, some of CALA,
some of Africa) etc.
