Teaching the Chinese to speak Welsh? Now that, I'd like to see!

I had a Welsh speaking friend at Uni who was studying Chinese.. Said
it was a doddle compared with learning English

Actually, that doesn't surprise me. I was once asked how I knew
the difference in pronounciation between through, though,
thorough, cough, bough, tough and hiccough. I had to explain
that I didn't know how I knew - I just did. English is a
horrendous language to learn.
