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 fore braf yn Llundain, roedd Rhys wedi sefyll o flaen yr Amgueddfa Hanes Naturiol, ei galon yn curo'n gyflym.
En: On a fine morning in Llundain, Rhys stood in front of the Amgueddfa Hanes Naturiol, his heart beating rapidly.

Cy: Roedd y cloc mawr uwchben y drws yn dangos naw o'r gloch, ac roedd rhodd haul hydrefol yn llenwi'r aer, gan wneud i bopeth ddisgleirio â lliw aur y deilen.
En: The large clock above the door showed nine o'clock, and the autumnal sunlight filled the air, making everything glimmer with the golden color of leaves.

Cy: Er iddo fod yn wan o'i lawdriniaeth ddiweddar, roedd gwir awydd newydddebyg yn ei lygaid.
En: Although he was weak from his recent surgery, there was a new eagerness in his eyes.

Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod i foderu breuddwydion plentyndod.
En: It was a day to nurture childhood dreams.

Cy: Wrth iddo gamu i mewn trwy'r drysau mawr, anadlodd Rhys yr arogl cyfarwydd o bren a cherrig, ei galon yn llawn cyffro.
En: As he stepped through the large doors, Rhys breathed in the familiar scent of wood and stone, his heart full of excitement.

Cy: Yn y pellter, roedd Carys a Gareth yn cerdded ar eu trefnna'u hunain, gyda nod gyfeillgar a geiriau i gofio: "Paid â gor-gynhyrfu, Rhys.
En: In the distance, Carys and Gareth walked at their own pace, with a friendly nod and words to remember: "Don't get too excited, Rhys."

Cy: " Ond roedd Rhys yn gwybod ei fod yn rhoi gormod o bwysau ar eu geiriau.
En: But Rhys knew he placed too much weight on their words.

Cy: Gan arlleisi mai Rhys oedd Rhys, roedd yn rhaid iddo weld y deinosoriaid!
En: Knowing well that he was Rhys, he just had to see the dinosaurs!

Cy: Daeth Rhys at yr ystafell arddangos deinosoriaid, lle roedd sgerbwd mawr T-Rex yn sefyll ei ei bresenoldeb.
En: Rhys reached the dinosaur exhibit room, where a large T-Rex skeleton stood in its majesty.

Cy: Roedd ei gyfrifoldeb hanyddol yn troi ei golwg i fyny.
En: Its imposing presence directed his gaze upwards.

Cy: Roedd y gofod yn llenwi gyda seiniau traed ac ymwelwyr, ac roedd golau'r hydref yn taflu cysgodion dramatig dros'r esgyrn gwaedlyd.
En: The space was filled with the sound of footsteps and visitors, and the autumn light cast dramatic shadows over the ancient bones.

Cy: Roedd golwg Rhys yn drengi gyda balchder a braw.
En: Rhys's vision was filled with pride and awe.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, dechreuodd deimlo blinder annisgwyl.
En: However, he started to feel an unexpected fatigue.

Cy: Gwnaeth twn y poen a'r blinder ei daro'n sydyn, gan ei orfodi i ysgwyd â gwrthyron a llawenychu.
En: A wave of pain and tiredness hit him suddenly, forcing him to tremble with defiance and exhilaration.

Cy: Stopiodd yn annisgwyl, gan gynnal ei anadl â grym.
En: He stopped abruptly, catching his breath with effort.

Cy: "Dewch Rhys," meddai wrtho'i hun, "sefyll am funud.
En: "Come on, Rhys," he said to himself, "stand for a moment."

Cy: "Yn y diwedd, penderfynodd Rhys eistedd ar fainc gerllaw, ei olwg hyd yn oed o'r esgyrn anhygoel.
En: In the end, Rhys decided to sit on a nearby bench, still maintaining view of the incredible bones.

Cy: Roedd yn teimlo ei gorff yn llaesu a'i enaid yn llawn o oludiad.
En: He felt his body relax and his spirit filled with enlightenment.

Cy: Dysgodd bod mwynhau'r foment yn bwysicach na phwyso ei oriau.
En: He learned that enjoying the...
