Think I have got it!!! How many times a day do you think I will have to practice it to actually stamp it into my memory.It took me a while to learn this one cos it’s so long @rebrascora! The ll is straightforward if you know how: put the tip of your tongue so it’s touching the back of your top row of teeth and blow - the air should move down the sides of your tongue and produce a sound. That’s the letter ll in Welsh. The only other challenging sound is the letter ch - it’s like the ch in loch (not like the ck in lock). Oh, and the ong is like in long, not in longer. Try to roll the r a bit too. @silentsquirrel has just reminded me about the letter f - it’s pronounced like a v.
Right, now we’re ready...llong-er-varch-ee-add-eye. Llongyfarchiadau!
I love the Essex Male Voice Choir versions @DuncanLord!
It seems to help if I imagine someone with a lilting welsh accent saying it, as you get a sense of the rhythm and poetry of the word.
