Most difficult to pronounce for Poles is the sound 'th' as in 'the'-

the accent in those and other languages, that the /th/ is not 
pronounced. ...I can also pronounce the "LL" of Welsh, a fact of 
which I am quite proud...>>>

The Sergeant Majorette says

Many years ago, some people I knew were in Bulgaria (all caucasoid-
Americans). Overheard speaking English, they were mistaken for 
Albanian as that language apparently has the rare 'th' sound...

And how *do* you pronounce that Welsh 'LL'? (I like to know how to 
pronounce things: it was my parlour trick when I was little.)
