This is the name of a place in the Island of Anglesey,(Ynys Mon) North Wales.

Because of the subteties of pronounciation a the Welsh (Cymru) language, which is entirely different from English and modern European languages, it requires a welsh speaking welsh person to say it correctly.

To non welsh people (English) the name is shortened to 'Llanfair P.G.'.

I do know as a non-welsh speaker, that the 'll' sound is like a cross between 'l' and 'cl'. . The 'f' is pronounced like the English 'v'. , and the 'ai' is like an 'i' sound.

So Llanfair sounds a bit like 'clanvire'. 'vire' as in 'wire'.
