    It's funny that a channel called learning canteen can't be bothered to look up the correct pronunciation of these town names.

    The pronouncing of Welsh place names is SO bad that you should be ashamed. It would take very little effort to correct this!

    The producers of this video have not got a clue. I am English but have lived in Wales for over 30 years. The pronunciation is a total joke. I wonder whether they actually left their desks in rural England before making this. Not reliable content -in my view!

    I have only watched the section on Usk, then given up. At best, they have skimmed through Wikipedia. To claim japanware is a major industry in the town is laughable. It was in the 1840s, but had died out by the 1860 or so.

    What an interesting video! It's content is enlightenning, but the pronunciation is truly awefull! A quickn research on google would have cured this. For examples, if I made a video and called English cities Loondan, Moncheeter, Loovapil, you would roll your eyes! Blaenavon is close enough but it's in 'tor-vine' not 'Torfen'', 'Llan-roost' not 'Llan-ust', it's 'Ri-thin' not 'Roo-thin', 'Larn' not 'La-harn', 'Ker-e-dig-eeon' not 'Ser-e-dij-eeon', Llangollen has the sound of the double L mispronounced, its given by blowing air past the tongue when making the L shape with your tongue, which makes more of a difference when you hear it pronounced correctly, and there is a lot more that I will leave. I 10/10 for the comedy pronunciations, though!

    I watched this, and it's amazing how many are next to the sea, but don't think to buy another house down there before you move, otherwise you might get smashed for taxes. So, nice places to retire but not great places if you fancy a well paid job.

      Car got stolen in Aberbargoed on the way I expect. Then got mugged in Rhumney probably. Check the hospital in Merthyr or Ystrad. Been four months so the ambulance must have arrived by now.

    Whoever is commenting on these videos should be utterly ashamed at the pronunciation of these Welsh placenames, but they can probably speak French or Italian etc.
