RE :Why are kids forced to dedicate their lives to learning a dying language?

Welsh students have to dedicate their lives to learning welsh when it takes less time to get a larger following on youtube than people that actually speak welsh.

They don't 'dedicate their lives' to it. And Welsh is 'vulnerable', not dying.

I am from the United States and I can tell you that Welsh is neither dead nor dying, Census data show its use is increasing among young people, whereas other Celtic languages in the UK are decreasing,

Some kids enjoy learning it even though it isn't their first language. I met a family here in the United States. The all were born in England, but the father got a job in Wales and moved the family there. .They had two children, a girl about 16 and a boy about 14. They discussed the compulsory teaching of Welsh, even for their children in Welsh schools. The boy said he liked it and found it useful in town. The girl looked at him as if he had grown another head. I do not think either had :"dedicated their lives" to learning it.

It's NOT a dying language.

Walk through Cardiff or any other city, town or village in Wales and you'll hear Welsh being spoken by people of all ages. It's actually growing, rather than dying.

It's hardly a dead language. But that's school for you, anyway. We all spent years learning stuff that we never used again, after entering the real world. I couldn't tell you the first thing about physics.

It trains their brains. And their brains need badly any training exercise.

You are completely mistaken. Welsh is not a dying language, the number of native speakers and those who have learned or are learning as a second language is falling but many still speak it fluently. Welsh students do NOT "...have to dedicate their lives to learning welsh...", most have just a lesson or two a week in Welsh, some choose to study more, some are taught through the medium of Welsh based on their or their parents' choice. Youtube? I don't know or care, but the 2011 census recorded 562,016 people being able to speak Welsh (with a capital "W").

Because the Welsh government are stupid people.

It's your heritage is it not ? All cultures owe their existence to their grandfathers and mothers so their language was a part of them as you are a part of them.
