ll is basically pronounced by saying 'l' while saying 'h' with your throat, it sounds like 'hl'

[purplelibrarian]

That's the best way to describe it that I've heard. Slightly less of the 'h' sound though, but that is an excellent way for people who are unfamiliar with Welsh to try to learn the sound.

[annbretagne]

Shouldn't 'dd' be represented by 'th' as in that or father?

[purplelibrarian]

No, there are 2 "th" sounding sound in welsh. "dd" is often described as being a thicker "th" sound, formed by the tongue being further back tan when forming the sound "th". The "dd" sound is more prominant. "th" in welsh is a thinner sound, the tongue is further forward, or on the teeth when this sound is formed, like "thin" as opposed to a "dd" sound which an equivilant in english would be "that".

whats the difference between the northern and southern variations?

I wish I was a fluent welsh speaker, But all im able to learn is what they teach us in school, witch isnt much tbh...

I find english to be such a plain language now... and welsh to be so beautiful!

[purplelibrarian]

There are mnay differences between southern and northern wlesh, the most prominant being the accent, but also many of the owrds are also entirely different.

I know what you mean and the whole welsh in schools subject, many of my welsh learning friends also find being taught welsh frustrating as it is taught in a very old fashioned way. But keep on trying! Never give up!

I'm English and, by rights, I shouldn't be watching this. This is very interesting.

@NonchalantAlchemist Yeah....I agree. American here with Welsh heritage. Trying to learn. When I went to wales several years back I was surprised to find out not a lot of people still speak the native language
