I would alter the last word in that sentence, to English. The Welsh for instance are very often Bilingual, indeed for many Welsh people, Welsh is their first language. That is the problem for my brother in law, he moved to Wales, just less than an hours drive away from where he was born in England, but seemed to be shocked that some of his new neighbours, routinely speask Welsh, among themselves. He thinks they should speak English, which seems to me, to be very arrogant. I can really understand why many in North Wales despise the English.Alan Phipps wrote: ↑Wed, 17.

My sister moved to the Hebrides, where again, for many English is really a second language, though not as prevalent as among the Welsh. She has tried to learn Gaelic, but has struggled, though her neighbours really apreciated her trying, help when they can. ( Maybe laugh a little too! )
I have looked at learning Welsh, but it seems to be very difficult, more so than Gaelic. I have also threatened to finally learn German, but never seem to get around to it, not least because travel is out of the question for me.
