Are you ready to supercharge your Irish listening comprehension?

Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Irish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Irish and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Gaeltacht, Aran Islands, or Dingle Peninsula? Maybe you want to speak Irish with your grandparents from Galway?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background necessary to fully immerse yourself in regions where Irish is primarily spoken, such as Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Irish listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an fómhar ag mealladh go grinn os cionn na gClochach Mór.
En: The autumn was enticing gracefully over Clochach Mór.

Ga: Bhí Aoife, Cormac, agus a seanmháthair Siobhán ag bailiú ag an imeall.
En: Aoife, Cormac, and their grandmother Siobhán were gathering on the edge.

Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag tabhairt fúithi, an fharraige ag bualadh faoi na creagaí thíos.
En: The wind was attacking, the sea hitting below the rocks.

Ga: Bhí an áit saibhir le scéalta agus rúin an bealaigh theaghlaigh.
En: The place was rich with stories and secrets of the family path.

Ga: Thug Aoife súil ar an radharc os a comhair, na farraigí is a thírdhreach a bhí chomh seanda sin le fuil a muintire.
En: Aoife gazed at the view in front of her, the seas and landscape as ancient as the blood of her people.

Ga: Bhí sí fiosrach i gcónaí faoi stair a clainne, ach bhí rud éigin faoi na Cluainte a d'alp cuid den stair sin a bhí fós faoi scáth.
En: She was always curious about her family's history, but there was something about na Cluainte that swallowed part of that history which was still in the shadows.

Ga: Bhí Cormac ann, áfach; chomh praiticiúil is atá sé i gcónaí.
En: However, there was Cormac; as practical as he always was.

Ga: Cé nach raibh sé chomh díograiseach faoi sheanchas a chlainne, bhí sé breá sásta tacú le hAoife.
En: Although not as enthusiastic about his family's legacy, he was quite happy to support Aoife.

Ga: Ar ais leo, bhí Siobhán, leuréiseach ach stuacach.
En: Behind them was Siobhán, wise but stubborn.

Ga: Bhí a cuid scéalta sean agus úr ag an am céanna, ach ní raibh sí réidh anailís iomlán a thabhairt go deo.
En: Her stories were both old and new at the same time, but she was never ready to provide full analysis.

Ga: "Cén fáth nach roinneann tú é?" d'fhiafraigh Aoife láithreach agus iad ag siúl.
En: "Why don't you share it?" Aoife asked immediately as they walked.

Ga: Chaith sí súil ar Siobhán, súil a bhí lán de mheitheal agus de dhóchas.
En: She cast a hopeful look full of determination at Siobhán.

Ga: "Tá cuid de na scéalta níos fearr fágtha i síocháin," a dúirt Siobhán go mear, a súile ar an bhfarraige.
En: "Some stories are better left in peace," said Siobhán swiftly, her eyes on the sea.

Ga: Ach le tacaíocht Cormaic, thug Aoife fúithine féin ar thóir eolais.
En: But with Cormac's support, Aoife set out on a quest for information.

Ga: Shiúil sí suas le ciumhais na gCarraig.
En: She walked up to the edge of the rock.

Ga: Chroith an ghaoth a cuid gruaige, a hintinn gafa ag fuinneamh na háite.
En: The wind tousled her hair, her mind captivated by the energy of the place.

Ga: Bhí sé cosúil le seanchas a mhair ina chuis an-aer timpeall uirthi.
En: It was like a saga that lived in the very air around her.

Ga: Bhí Aoife sa dorchadas faoi a ithe, ach bhí intinn an-mhór aici anois.
En: Aoife was engulfed in darkness about it, yet her mind was resolute now.

Ga: Bhain sí amach croí na n-anamacha a bhí ag teacht chun solais ar feadh na mblianta.
En: She reached the heart of the souls that were illuminating for years.

Ga: Thug sí aghaidh ar Siobhán, fios aici go raibh uirthi an doras sin a oscailt go dtí an stair.
En: She turned to Siobhán, knowing she had to open that door to the past.

Ga: "Inis dom, a Mhamó. Inis dom scéal ceart."
En: "Tell me,...
