The main bunch of friends that I have in Cardiff all went to the same Catholic schools, which didn't teach Welsh at all. I have no idea if this most minimal sample is representive in any way (most probably not) but one of them has learned Welsh intensively during Lockdown and without the dribs and drabs that some us remember from learning it in infants, junior and secondary schools.
