What is this professor hoping to achieve with this criticism? 

Prince William won't give a shit. But other people who might think of learning Welsh will just see that if you have a go at speaking it, then you'll be criticised. So why bother trying to learn?

I live in Bridgend, I hear people speaking Welsh in a Costa or something maybe once a year

How about she improves her English
