To study for my test in Welsh, I had to read the English-language handbook and annotate it thoroughly to be able to know the necessary vocabulary in Welsh. I added the most difficult words in a flashcard set to quiz myself. quizlet.com/gb/465142086...

While the UK citizenship test can be taken in Welsh or Scots Gaelic, only two have ever tried to do it. We know one reported success of Brazilian immigrant Dr Rodolfo Piskorski who went public with his being the first to pass the citizenship test in Welsh. The second to pass the test in a different language was a German national who sat the test in Scots Gaelic, but it is unconfirmed whether he or she passed."
The US-born (naturalised) British Law Professor @thombrooks.bsky.social writes extensively about citizenship legislation and citizenship tests and has given evidence to a House of Lords committee on naturalisation. He has mentioned me in his latest book!
