Wales (Cymru)

David Roberts is an accountant from Port Talbot who began learning Welsh after moving to Birmingham for his studies and missing the ‘Welshness’ of his surroundings.

Having taken night classes for a couple of years, and worked through books and courses with nothing to show at the end of it, he often found himself giving up, but always promising to give it one more go, never actually imagining that he would be confident or proficient enough to speak the language.

But recently, his determination has helped him break through any setbacks and confidence issues he had and he’s back in the saddle and more passionate than ever – and he’s also using his Welsh out in the wild where it belongs.
