Michael you are correct to say "eh" at the end the only problem is that most English people cannot say the double LL sound as it has no English equivalent sound I quote LL "produced by placing the tongue to pronounce l then emitting breath without voice. Easy when you know how but very difficult without practice. Why not phone my wife? no one in the beeb pronuciation unit has spoken Welsh as long as my wife has. 0844 734 7890 (UK local call rate number)
