Brazilian man becomes first person to pass British citizenship test in Welsh

A Brazilian man has become the first person to pass a British citizenship test using the Welsh language. Rodolfo Piskorski, who teaches English literature and Portuguese at Cardiff University, said it was important to him to use his “linguistic rights” and demonstrate “there are different ways to be British”. The 34-year-old linguist first came to the UK in 2013 to study for his PhD in critical and cultural theory at Cardiff University. After two years of living in the Welsh capital, he decided to start learning the language.
