Many people find the Welsh 'll' hard to pronounce. Most foreigners would
think hen-clan would not be far from what you hear, but the tongue needs to
be further up behind from teeth for 'll' than 'cl'.
Sounds of Wales is John Ball's page with pronunciations of many Welsh place
names.
How about going to
http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/wales/sounds/index.htm and
getting the idea of a two-syllable word ending in Llan from 'Cellan' and the
combination of Hen and a syllable starting with 'll' by listening to Castell
Henllys.
