Excellent article!
I'm studying Welsh on Duolingo, which has two speakers - one Northern, one Southern - so you can hear the dialect differences. The site also recommended the Welsh Pronunciation videos on YouTube:

Good article. What trips me up, oddly enough, is “y” which I always want to make into a Spanish “ee” pronunciation.
