This is getting off topic a little but for the curious:
Well "Ar" is like you'd expect "Maw" is short for "Mawrth" and I guess
"Maw" alone would be pronounced like Chairman Mao, not that people would
do that anymore than English speakers generally say "Tue 4".
Ysgrifennodd [same root as English 'scribe']
Y is usually silent in this case but if not its a "uh!" sound
scree [like the piles of rock] ven [like a south african trying to say
van] oth (but the buzzy 'th' in this and that not the hissy 'th' in
think - so like the "oth" in bother not the "oth" in both)
and if you'd like to know more

OTOH I suspect Spanish is probably more useful in most of the world.
