Poor Pronunciation

Poor pronunciation of not just the Welsh language, but also, at times, the English language. This resulted in it being a tad irksome to listen too.

Not even the easiest Welsh names pronounced right

I found it almost impossible to listen to. I will rather read the book myself. How can one read aloud a book on Welsh history for money and not bother to get any information how to pronounce names of people and places. It is plain embarrassing to listen to. I feel sorry for the authors as the content seems well researched, but I certainly cannot recommend to listen to Mr. Zephyr reading it.

Impossible to Understand

Why was this not read by a WELSH person????? This can not be underestimated how badly some of the words were pronounced. It has stopped me from reading the book. I am thankful to see that others have had the same issues but annoyed I did not check the reviews before I wasted a credit on this book. Do not bother.. Its awful... Content is great when you get to understand it.
