In which country was the woman born?
M:If someone asks you where you come from,what do you say?
W:I usually say I’ m Welsh.Or it depends I suppose depending on who’ s asking or where I am at the time.Obviously if I’m back home in Wales,then I give the name of my home town—Aberystwyth.Even though I haven’t lived there in years.
M:Were you born there?
W:Yes I was,and spent most of my childhood there as well,until I was eighteen.
M:And,if you’ re not back home,I mean,what if you’ re on holiday or whatever?
W:Yes,sometimes,when I’ m abroad people take it for granted that I’ m English,or maybe they’re using the word English to mean British.That can be quite annoying,or not that exactly.It’ s when I explain that I’ m from Wales and they say,‘Isn’t that in England?’Now that,that’ s annoying.
M:Is it really that important to you?
W:Oh,that’ s a big question.Um,yeah,I suppose it is.I suppose it’ s kind of a central part of my identity.Part of how I see myself,define who I am.
M:Do you speak Welsh?
W:Yes,I do.Maybe that’ s part of the reason why it’ s so important.I mean,I think the language you speak really defines the way you think sometimes.Or at least I feel like it’ s another side to me.Like there’ s my English side and there’ s my Welsh side.I haven’t lived in Wales for years and sometimes I really miss speaking the language like I’ m missing a part of myself.
M:Do you speak Welsh at all these days?
W:Yeah,on the phone to my Mum,or my brother.Twice a week.But that’ s about all.
M:So,what would you say is your mother tongue,then?Welsh or English?
W:Both I suppose.I mean I was brought up speaking both as a kid.It’ s impossible not be an English speaker in Wales.You’ re just surrounded by the language everywhere.For example it’ s on the TV,in films.There is a Welsh TV channel and weekly papers and stuff,but it’ s just not such a strong presence I suppose.I mean,it is possible to live in Wales and not be a Welsh speaker—well most people aren’t.
