๐ Welsh Accent Test: How Good Is Your Welsh Accent?
South Wales English is sing-song, with big pitch movements and a lifting, musical rhythm. Consonants are clear and vowels are pure.

How to do a Welsh accent
- Let your pitch travel up and down across each phrase, as if half singing.
- Lengthen the consonant before a stressed vowel: 'lovely' becomes 'lov-ly' with a strong V.
- Keep vowels pure and clean: 'day' is 'deh', 'no' is a rounded 'noh'.
- Tap the R lightly and end with a tag like 'is it?' or 'now'.
The most common mistake
Making it sound Indian or Irish; keep the tune Welsh by stressing the consonants.
