I'm becoming increasingly more and more frustrated that our 4 year old never speaks Welsh anymore. I'm first language Welsh and only speak Welsh to him and his 1 year old brother, but father is English and although he understands a fair bit of Welsh by now, he cannot speak it, so naturally we have to communicate to one another in English. He goes to a school that primarily teaches through the medium of welsh, most of the children are for bilingual or English only homes so naturally the children speak English. He has gone from being dominant wrlsh speaking to hardly ever answering me in Welsh, and now is forgetting basic words. He understands absolutely everything I say, but answers in English all the time. If I ask him to answer or speak to me in Welsh, he just stutters and either switches to English or just stops the conversation, which is obviously the last thing I want because I want him to always comfortable talking to me. I praise him when he speaks welsh but it doesnt seem to make a difference in the amount he speaks. I've tried to even not answer him and tell him I won't reply unless he speaks welsh but again he just drops conversation, and I dont want to be harsh. Anyone been in a similar situation and have any advice? I'm thinking of doing a reward chart and give him stamps when he speaks welsh to me? Feeling a bit disheartened atm.
