Not really. But I am reading lots about them. I'm reading about Crime Fear and Violence in America. Which for damn sure is easier and more interesting than the Divine Comedy has turned out to be.
The idea of article I mentioned above was that there have always been serial killers, but we used the guise of monsters and demons to explain their existance. There was the cite of a 16th century duchess who killed women and children and then bathed in their blood after particpating in necrophilia. They thought she was a vampire, naturally.

I think that with Welsh, you make the double-L sound by sort of putting the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and blowing as you make the L sound. Which would sound kind of like a "th".
Yeah, that's it. But the beginning double-L is even harder. Every time I said it, they still made fun of me. It's something like "chlanethi".

Think of it kind of like Scorpius' menacing aspirated growl. That's about as close as I can get.
I called it Lan-Nelly my first two weeks in Wales. I was semi-corrected later, but never did master the ll all that well. Didn't have any problems with dd and ae, though.
