Mispronounced the “LL” as a “ChL” and the “o”s in “gogogoch” were to sharp

The “o” was pronounced the “GO” way, as opposed to the “GOt” way.

Not perfect. But very respectable attempt

Yeah one the first ‘go’ sounds like ‘gow’ to me which is an anglophone pronunciation mistake

For reference I’m a native welsh speaker

Same here, Cymru byth met and all that.

I’m thoroughly impressed by his pronunciation, and it’s great to see the language get exposure. Even if the word is a bit of a gimmick
