This was awesome! I just spent half an hour trying to get an idea of how this accent sounded and these two minutes helped more than any of it! Great video!!

As an American who has never set foot in the UK, I really love this video. I had no idea what a Welsh accent sounded like before this.

Dude, you're so useful, thank you very much, I'm linguist myself, I speak like 4 used to speak 6, I'm into languages and accents so bad. Still can't believe Mark helped to discover your channel, i mean that could be anyone but him😁 please keep it up

I have a Welsh trainer and it’s hard to try to replicate his accent but the one thing that stands out how soft the whole language is compared to the English accents. Not as flowy as Irish but no crazy vowels like Scottish. The soft L is very much a staple but I find the entire language to be very soft…

I just want to say if you are using this video is 2023+ it has changed a bit with the rise of the internet and older people talk like this but you get people like in their 20 and below have a mix of this welshy accent and American accent and only really use slang so the accent can get lost a bit but it’s still a great video ❤

Yay, nice. Ever thought about a german accent tutorial? Cheers

[suaveslav]

Hello, you are finally back! Could you please do a tutorial in a German or Italian accent please!

I've badly imitated Rhys Ifans before without realizing that I was doing this tongue position thing as well as some other tonal shifts, but doggone it if you aren't right! Dark L shall be my Sith name! Which I guess makes Welsh Jedi by contrast.

I'm geniunely surprised how well that works. As someone from outside the UK, I find the Welsh accent to be one of the harder ones to imitate, but trying your light L suggestion on the phrase "Can I have some milk" gets pretty good results. I still a lot to learn on how the Welsh enunciate words, but this was a good start.

Hearing Stacey on Gavin & Stacey tv show say Year has me boggled as a 🇨🇦

[kieran]

I'm Welsh and I didn't even realise no one else did this, before you showed that we use the light L for everything I was thinking "eh? my tongue doesn't go that far back"

This is a great video! I thought the diagrams were super helpful along with the sound being made at the same time!

That paper you’re sitting on, are you reading it?
Whose coat is that jacket?
Whose shoes are those trainers?

I gotta practice, because I keep feeling like I'm going to accidently choke on my own tongue.
