Oops, sorry about the non-working link, Rockrr and thanks for letting me know. I'll re-ping everyone I had pinged in my earlier post and this time, I'm including the poster of this thread Olog-Hai, whose name for some reason I had trouble spelling in my first post. :P

Rockrr, I think learning another language can be difficult for most people unless they have heard the language early on, or have had at least some exposure to it.

Here is a link which works:

How To Say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Here's another video only 10 seconds long of a little girl saying where she and her family went on holiday:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Here's the rest of my earlier post:

It's so nice to hear the language spoken by native speakers. The segment with the teachers indicated that students are improving the amount of material taught in Welsh year over year. About 40% of the population speaks Welsh. Most are bilingual (English/Welsh). In the valleys, there are many children who are Welsh monoglots.
