Are you ready to supercharge your Welsh 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 Welsh, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Welsh 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 Caernarfon Castle, Snowdonia National Park, or St. Davids Cathedral? Maybe you want to speak Welsh with your grandparents from Cardiff?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in regions where Welsh is primarily spoken, such as Wales and some parts of England. 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 Welsh listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar noson oer yn nhŷ Gaer, roedd Gwyneth yn sefyll ar y llawr uchaf o The Shard, Llundain.
En: On a cold night at tŷ Gaer, Gwyneth was standing on the top floor of The Shard, London.

Cy: Roedd hi'n hoffi'r ffordd y golau gwan ganu ar wydr hynod yr adeilad.
En: She liked the way the dim light played on the building's remarkable glass.

Cy: Pan oedd y dref isod yn pwysleisio'n dawel dan dwmffurf eira, roedd ei llygaid yn edrych gyda chwilfrydedd artistig.
En: When the city below was quietly outlined under a blanket of snow, her eyes gazed with artistic curiosity.

Cy: Wrth fynd yn agosach at enghraifft arbennig o wneuthuriad di-weladwy ar y gwydr sgleiniog, sylwodd ar neges guddiedig.
En: As she moved closer to a special example of invisible craftsmanship on the shiny glass, she noticed a hidden message.

Cy: Roedd yr arysgrif yn ymddangos fel pe bai ar gyfer hi yn unig: "Hanes cudd yr eglurha, Gwyneth."
En: The inscription seemed meant just for her: “Hanes cudd yr eglurha, Gwyneth.”

Cy: Gwyneth, awyddus i ddeall hanes cudd The Shard, oedd dan ei ffrithiant.
En: Eager to understand the hidden history of The Shard, Gwyneth was prompted by her curiosity.

Cy: Roedd yr arysgrif yn amhriodol yn ei chryndod, ei chlywodd yn alwad.
En: The inscription, inappropriate in its tremor, she heard as a calling.

Cy: Nid oedd hi'n gwybod faint o wybodaeth oedd ar goll iddi ond roedd hi'n benderfynol o ddod o hyd iddo.
En: She didn’t know how much information was missing, but she was determined to find it.

Cy: Felly aeth ati i ofyn am help Rhys, hanesydd lleol gyda gwybodaeth eang am adeiladau Llundain.
En: So she went to ask for help from Rhys, a local historian with extensive knowledge of London’s buildings.

Cy: Dyna pryd rhyngodd Rhys, oedd yn arfer gweithiwr mewn amgueddfa gyda phenderfyniadau craff.
En: That's when Rhys intervened, who was once a museum worker with keen insights.

Cy: Dwedodd Rhys, “Dylen ni ofyn am gymorth Dafydd hefyd.
En: Rhys said, "We should ask for Dafydd's help too.

Cy: Mae'n caru posau ac mae'n bosibl ei fod yn adnabod y cod.”
En: He loves puzzles and might recognize the code."

Cy: Dnafer Gwenynthedd, Rhys a Dafydd o fewn llyfrgell Rhys, lle dechreuodd nhw dadblygu'r pos.
En: Together, Gwyneth, Rhys, and Dafydd gathered in Rhys's library, where they began to unravel the puzzle.

Cy: Wrth i'r eira syrthio y tu allan, buodd nhw yn pori drwy ddogfennau a chwilio am bwyntiau penodol.
En: As the snow fell outside, they pored over documents and searched for specific points.

Cy: Aethant wrth y wlad mewn llinellau, yn y pen draw, gan amgyffred syniad ar ysgrifennu'r cod.
En: They moved through the lines of the country, eventually grasping an idea of what the code was about.

Cy: Roedd y cod yn cyfeirio at fanylion amgaeedig o gynlluniad y Shard, y cysylltiadau hynny â phob un o hanes lleoliad y ddinas.
En: The code referenced intricate details of The Shard's design, connections to the history of the city's location.

Cy: Y foment pan ddeallodd Gwyneth y gyfrinach, gwyliai effaith gymhleth yw'r odl o briodoldeb hanesol yn yr adeilad modern.
En: The moment Gwyneth understood the secret, she observed the complex effect as the thread of historical appropriateness wove into the modern building.

Cy: Yn sefyll ar lawr uchaf hwnnw, teimlai'r ffin o'r gweinidogaeth hynafol a modern,...
