P-04-677 Equal access to Welsh Language

Text of the Petition
Welsh
language should be as accessible as English language is. Sadly, it is not the
case. I am talking from my own experience. I moved to Wales and I would like to
learn at least a little bit of Welsh. It is relatively easy to find a free
English class and it is impossible to find a free Welsh language class.
The
Equality Act states that no one should be treated less favourably than another
just because of his or her nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion,
religious or philosophical belief or absence of religion or belief.
Learning
Welsh should be as accessible as learning English to anyone, including the
first generation immigrants.
