Just to be sure you don't lose your fabulous ability to pronounce the Welsh ll, you should say at least once a day:
Mae Llewellyn y llyfrgellydd o Llanelli wedi llyfu llawer o llyfaint.
(Be sure no one is standing in front of you when you do. Or, at least, make sure you have a towel to dry them off with afterwards.)

Edit: For those of you who would like to try this yourselves, here's a broad phonetic transcription into X-SAMPA (learn it, live it, love it):
['maeKE'weKIn@,Kiv@r'gEKIDoKa'neKi'wedi'KVv1'KawEro'KVvaint]
Notes: Word stress in Welsh is almost invariably on the penult. f is [v], dd is "soft th" (as in English bathe). u isn't quite [1], but that's as close as I can get. y can be [V], [@], [i], or [I] depending on various factors such as its position in word.
