Note on pronunciation of Welsh:
- A 'w' makes an 'oo' as in 'moon'
- A 'y' makes an 'u' as in 'run'. There are exceptions.
- A 'll' is what it looks like, but breathy. I think you need to be Welsh to do it properly!
- An 'f' on is own makes a 'v' and in 'van'
- Two 'ff's make an 'f' as in 'fan'
- A 'th' makes a hard 'th' as in 'this'
- A 'dd' makes a soft 'th' as in 'throw'
- A 'c' is almost always a hard sound like in 'castle'
- A 'ch' is generally as in 'Michael', only wetter
