"First you need to be able to pronounce the-" And it was in this moment I realized that I can in fact, NOT pronounce that sound.

[@morielrorschach8090]

Her explanation in the other video makes it easy: Make an "L" sound. Keep your tongue still, and instead of saying "L" just blow (not like you're mad). Another way to get close (but not quite right) is the german "CH" sound as in "ich" ... it's not about making a loogy... it's more like hissing like a cat. But not a "mad" cat... that's too much. Just a mildly annoyed "get away from food, nub" retort kind of hiss. The welch "LL" is just the german "ch" but a little "L"ier.

Dean Benedict not exactly. The ll sound is different from sh and if you were to pronounce the ll like a sh you’d probably get some stares. Beyond that, we don’t have the letter q in Welsh. It’s the ch of Bach or Loch.
