Awful mispronouncing of Welsh names here. One quick phone call to a Welsh person would have given him the correct pronunciations. Lazy and disrespectful to an entire nation. But hardly a surprise. It happens on mainstream news channels all the time and radio is even worse. Still, we have only been neighbours for centuries. Torfeeun, fgs.
I’ve been to Llanaber but I’ve never heard of Lanabear and I’ve lived in Barmouth. The other two place names you mentioned in this segment I couldn’t even understand what you said it was that bad.
I went to school in Tenby when my family lived in Amroth, which is a few miles along the coastline and not far from Narberth 😊 It truly is a beautiful place. It's a shame i didn't much appreciate that as a child.
You never look at machynlleth Powys it's a lovely place to live and it's close to Aberystwyth and also Newtown which has good shops so recognize these sometime
I see that others have already commented adversley on the DREADFUL pronunciation of many of the Welsh names. Please check with any Welsh born citizen. I feel nauseated!
Yeah, nothing there, one road in one road out with big church in the middle an its full of outsiders who try big it up than what it actually is ,an i know im from not that far away,, local shop for local people 😉 know what i mean. Nice beach there though, part from that, dont go there, not even batman would go there.
@phil393 last time I was there. The BBC were filming a TV programme. This woman was laughing at what she had just seen. A Knight came out lifting his chain mail and taking out his cigs and his mobile
@@davidjohnfarrell4579 😂😂 yeah i can believe that, many years ago i worked fir the waterboard down there,we used to call at this shop in a place called mathry, it was run by 2 elderly sisters, an i mean they mustve been in there 80’s then, they sold absolutely everything, in the window there’d be oilskin waterproofs next to kitkats from the 1960’s 😂😂😂, they knew everyone and everything, so as we werent from that area we’d ask where such n such lived, ( no sat navs) and theyd be useless any way , no network coverage, we’d say we have work there to do , they’d tell us exactly where they lived,, couple of days later we’d be back asking where our next customer lived, they’d ask the same question everytime, what do you want with them?, honest it was like ground hog day😂😂😂, the shops mo longer there now, the 2 elderly ladies are probably long gone,love em,, but i saw a programme on itv about them, they were quite famous, if they didnt have what you wanted they could get it, apparently this person asked for an elephant foot umbrella stand for what i think was a joke, few months went by when the supposed customer was stopped in the village by one of the sisters and said your parcel has arrived. It was the elephant foot umbrella stand, and this was in the day where this was no internet ,no amazon, they mustve had some good contacts let me tell you, dont get me wrong its beautiful down there, and parts are still pretty much wild untouched nature, thats what i miss living down there, i could walk the coastal path an not see a single person all day. But im in the city now, in the mix as they say, whitesands is lovely .
Whoever compiled this list has no idea! How can you miss places such as Llandudno, Conwy and Criccieth? To name just a few. I have lived in Wales for over twenty five years and would have no desire to live in any town on your list!
I cannot believe Penarth sully and lantwit manor didn’t get a mention and what’s wrong with Barry island these three areas have lovely beaches and some lovely walks
You really need to learn how to pronounce Welsh words/place names. The letters/letter groupings are assigned different sounds to English. Nobody would have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
So Pontypool was in the worst towns yet Blaenavon is on of the best? Not my experience, there is only a CO OP in Blaenavon, i had to go to Pontypool or Abergavenny or Brynmawr for anything.... there is nothing in Blaenavon except the wonderful spot by the tree down Llanover Road, nice houses up there ..... just after the tree is Bleanavon Woods and the road that goes to the 'Punch Bowl', that whole area from the tree to the top of the mountain is mushroom central late Oct and all Nov, all the way along the side of the road..... most nights a group of 30 or so kids between age of 7 and 14 wander around Blaenavon looking for trouble......
There are very beautiful settlements made with hard work. Masha Allah, may Allah Almighty keep these settlements and the people living here always prosperous, happy and prosperous, Amen, Amen.
Why on earth did you show a picture of cardiff central when you were talking about kidwelly and kidwelly has two platforms on the station not one get it right
Some amusing memories of Wales: Mount Batten, orienteering with a broken campus; caves and pot-holing somewhere on our elbows and chests, thinking we’d never make it out alive. Sadly my hair is not suited to the persistently raininy climate.
Surely this is just an English, not very bright, teenager (more likely more than one) having some fun, Probably comes from a suburb of English capital, London (to be pronounced with both syllables rhyming with the Christian name "Don"), such as the beautiful Wally-ing-ton (spelling shortened to Wallington). Is the Aldi building there in Wally-ing-ton as stunning architecturally as the one shown as one of the beauties of Wales? Not sure I can stomach the "12 Best Towns to Live in" England, Scotland, Ireland and France but may take a look, for fun, sometime.
Try prouncing Machynlleth you will never be able to Machynlleth has a lot of fates going on like the comedy and all the other thing they organize please try pronocing the names if you look at them properly it's quite easy
One of the images of Barmouth is actually Dolgellau!! Which you would probably call Dolly galooo or something! Terrible pronunciation mate, sounds like you are trying to speak Elvish😂
Next time you have someone introduce welsh towns at least have someone with a little bit of a welsh background or have done a bit of research an not someone who narrates like a robot.
Can you recommend any Welsh towns that don't have Welsh people in them? Judging by the comments below their favourite hobby is complaining about bad pronounciation.
Where do live butty? Loondon, Hearford, glowsester, Brystole, Reeding, Nunayton? If we can learn English pronunciation, then surely the lazy English can do likewise. It shows a lack of respect. Still, we have only been neighbours for centuries, so maybe the slow-witted English need a bit more time.
Jacques - I can indeed recommend a Welsh town where you won't find any Welsh people, it's called Milford Haven, why not go there and tell me how lovely it is without all those complaining Welsh people.

OMG, if your going to do something like this, try and actually learn to pronounce the places first - obviously taken from reading matter and not visited on a personal basis - there are a host of other places much, much better.....
Truly APPALLING pronunciation of Welsh names! He couldn't even bother to ask a Welsh speaker. I don't think he's ever been there.
Agreed. Nothing worse. 😡
Makes me embarrassed to be an Englishman.

It is a very nice video but it's very disrespectful to not at least try or find out how to pronounce the place names properly

Keep it secret!
Shhhh mun
I really don’t think anyone watched this video for his “pronunciation”, so you can stop attacking him. Gosh, some people are so negative
Llangollen = Chlangochlen, Portmadog = Portmaddock, (emphasis on the "A") Kidwelly = Kidwechli. Surprisingly, you got Llanelli right!
What? I've never heard Kidwelly pronounced like that. That's the English version. In Welsh it's Cydweli. One L.
Good job that nobody cares about it!
I see that others have already commented adversley on the DREADFUL pronunciation of many of the Welsh names. Please check with any Welsh born citizen. I feel nauseated!
You're exaggerating.
No exaggeration… truly dreadful pronunciation 🏴
I'm very surprised that Saint David's wasn't mentioned. I would love to live there.
Why? There's nothing there.

I’m afraid that your Welsh pronunciation is very poor 🏴
Ehh, they do a decent job.
It's a voice machine!
8:48 "...unique independant stores..." Cut to picture of The Original Factory Shop 😂😂😂
Learn how to pronounce the place names
I cannot believe Penarth sully and lantwit manor didn’t get a mention and what’s wrong with Barry island these three areas have lovely beaches and some lovely walks
Fascinating mispronunciation - should have checked with a Welsh speaker
I nearly had a stroke when he mentioned Blaenafon 😂 there is nothing there except boarded up shops this list is a joke 😂😂😂
Really bad pronunciation of town names it was a joke at times otherwise good video
Carmarthen, Ceredigion. Why would you pronounce Camarthen correctly and then say Seredigion. Makes no sense.
You really need to learn how to pronounce Welsh words/place names.
The letters/letter groupings are assigned different sounds to English.
Nobody would have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
I live in a place called station road In Llanelli but have a mate that lives in Kidwelly and am always surprised when I go there seeing what it's like
So Pontypool was in the worst towns yet Blaenavon is on of the best?

Montgomery and Llanidloes are lovely.

The best thing in Wales is the road to England where motorists can drive in top gear

I'm not Welsh but these pronunciations are honking. Also, Blaenavon is a hole.
Please get some help pronouncing Welsh names. I really grates to listen to this commentary, and I'm English.

@nickevans444 Nope, not a dim English teenager. He posts from the Ukraine and uses a variety of AI text-to-speech voices.
He has got a picture from Dolgellau in his Barmouth pics , !,,, what a numptie !!
Very Beautiful
Best towns to live in in Wales. The M4 eastbound out of the place.
You basically said "Cardigan" two times.. Like when I luved up Sarah Didgeon two times..
Tell the people who live in Tenby that it is a good place to live!!!!
What lanaguage use?
In the South Wales valleys and East Wales, English, almost no Welsh spoken.
North and West Wales, bilingual. Sometimes hostile to the English.
Everyone can pronounce the Welsh names !
The pronunciation is hilarious, definitely a man reading stats who's never been anywhere near Wales 😂
Lan gol lan 🙄
Tenby is incredible
Shocked Rhyl didn't make the list.
Try prouncing Machynlleth you will never be able to Machynlleth has a lot of fates going on like the comedy and all the other thing they organize please try pronocing the names if you look at them properly it's quite easy
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Love you uk❤
What about Radyr?
No Conwy or St David's? I won't comment on the awful pronunciation. Put the work in!
Pronunciation of Welsh names......if you're going to review Wales do us the courtesy of pronouncing our names properly.
Llandudno should have been number 1 surely
One of the images of Barmouth is actually Dolgellau!! Which you would probably call Dolly galooo or something!
Terrible pronunciation mate, sounds like you are trying to speak Elvish😂

Cardiff??
If i were you 'Learning Canteen', i would stop producing these video's as they are inaccurate.
I like how Llangollen is on the best list....and the worst list.
What about Portskewett
Interesting video . But the pronunciation is awful. .. it's pretty insulting TBH
Don't forget Portapotty
The narrator should learn to pronounce Welsh names correctly
Most of the places are mispronounced. There should be more research done on this.
