If you want to have a go at pronouncing "llygoden", the double-L at the beginning is the tricky part. You put the tip of your tongue just behind your front teeth, as though you're about to say "L", but then you breathe out, as though you are saying the "th" of "breath". Keep the tongue relaxed and if you find you're making a nice wet hissing sound, you're doing it right! "Y" in Welsh is pronounced here as "uh". The "goden" bit is easy. Just remember it's a short "o", like in God. The stress goes on the middle syllable.
