Oh, my, wouldn't I love to! However, my education was strangely deficient in Welsh. They didn't offer it in elementary or high school in the US, nor did I see it in the catalogs of Stanford, the University of Arizona or San Francisco State.
Not to make fun--I know that Welsh was suppressed for many years, just as were the native languages of the Americas. Best of luck finding someone who meets the specifications!
