US woman, 96, speaks Welsh for first time in 40 years

The mother-of-two has not spoken Welsh since her mother died nearly four decades ago and recently told her son:"I don't think I'll ever have a chance to speak Welsh again."Keith, 70, who lives in New York City, said he was desperate to help his mother speak her mother tongue as she has started to suffer short-term memory loss.

So he put a message on Facebook for help for his"very cool, great-humoured" mother in the New York Welsh area and, within 30 minutes, he was deluged with responses."She was shocked, since she doesn't have a computer the whole world of internet is shocking to her," he added. Keith went one step further, asking Melisa Annis - a director and playwright originally from Cardiff but living in New York - to give Ray a call."It's a very hard time at the moment and we are all feeling a little bit isolated and especially if you are older. I thought 'why not reach out?' I am a fluent Welsh speaker and very pro the Welsh language.

BBCWorld Again, not news from the BBC. She has short term memory loss. She learned to speak Welsh possibly decades ago, and just hasn’t felt the need to speak it. It’s no miracle.

BBCWorld Wow! Newsworthy for sure

BBCWorld Poor woman. 40 years of being understandable and then this happens

Bore da !

That’s a shame
