I would love to learn Welsh,
I think it sounds beautiful and is also a link to the past in a world so horribly modern.

Unfortunately
Welsh hasn't evolved, so a lot of words are merely phonetic Welsh approximations of English words, which would jar a little if you're learning it for romantic reasons, I'd have thought.

I's like to read the Mabinogion in Welsh.
No modern words in there anyway...

It's very silly.

My, I'm being such a Debbie Downer today.

Debbie Downser, more like.
My grandfather's good friend Gwyn Jones did the definitive translation of that book many years ago.

you don't have to converse with welsh people, for starters.

I'd like to learn that too.
Unfortunately languages are not my strongest suit.
