    Re: When Americans try to pronounce Welsh Place Names...

    Just to make you smile...
    On a beautiful summer’s day, two English tourists were driving through Wales.

    At Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysili ogogogoch they stopped for lunch and one of the tourists asked the waitress: “Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us. Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?”

    The girl leaned over and said:

    “Burrr… gurrr… King.”

        Lol. I tried to pronounce that word. Wasn't happening.
        I might have spit something out in the process.

          It is a hard one, if only because it's so long. And because nothing in Welsh really sounds as it looks to an English speaker. Even the Welsh word 'Cymru' meaning Wales. You pronounce it 'Cumree'

          You'd be amazed how people pronounce my name sometimes!
