Wooooah. I've never heard anyone suggest the Welsh accent is impenetrable! Sounds like you just don't have a good ear for English. And also sounds like you think anything other than Standard American English (PS this accent doesn't actually exist anywhere in the US!) and Received Pronunciation are the only "correct" ways to speak English.
It's funny how you think a minority of a handful of royals + non-existent Americans can define what is "correct" English.

I said Wales, Scotland (mostly Scotland and Ireland) and Ireland!!
It's a different language you first of all have to get used too. The problem here is, that most people from there cannot speak "normal" English which doesn't qualify them to teach English to people who want to learn the correct pronunciation of the words.
I don't want to learn the British accent. I want to learn English!
And most importantly, I want to learn it from a Teacher who I can understand very well.
Thats why most Natives aren't qualifiied in my eyes! Non-Natives actually learn the right pronunciation of the words when they study it.
