    Thank you! Here’s a rough guide to pronouncing these place names:

    Ynys Lochtyn = “UNus LOKH-tun” Llangrannog = “shan-GRAN-og”

    The double-l “ll” letter in Welsh is pronounced like a “sh” sound, but harsher and further back in the mouth.

    Similarly, the “ch” letter is similar to the Scottish Gaelic “ch” sound they use for words like “loch”.
