Ar hyd y nos

Note in Welsh that “dd” is a soft “th” as in “heather”

“ff” is a hard F and “f” is a V sound

“ch” as in Scottish “Loch”

“ll” as in “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”!

R should be rolled wherever possible

The “o” in “holl”, “nos” etc will need care: - never let it sound like the “oe” dipthong in English “toe” or French “eau” unless you want to sound like a frightfully posh Home Counties English choir getting it frightfully wrong!
