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: Mae nosweithiau Nadoligaidd yn Aberaeron yn cynnwys goleuadau disglair ac awyrgylch hudolus.
En: Christmassy nights in Aberaeron include bright lights and a magical atmosphere.

Cy: Yn agos at y porfa, mae Eira yn sefyll yn ei stondin, ei dwylo'n prysuro gyda'r crefftwaith manwl a wna ar ei gemwaith arbennig.
En: Near the pasture, Eira stands at her stall, her hands busy with the intricate craft she makes with her special jewelry.

Cy: Roedd hi'n artist lleol adnabyddus, ond weithiau roedd ei chrefft yn teimlo fel unigedd.
En: She was a well-known local artist, but sometimes her craft felt like loneliness.

Cy: Roedd hi eisiau cysylltu, ond roedd ofn ei hwyneb â drwgyn.
En: She wanted to connect but feared facing her inner critic.

Cy: Yn y cyfamser, mae Dylan o Gaerdydd yn teithio o gwmpas y dref chwilio am stori.
En: Meanwhile, Dylan from Caerdydd travels around the town searching for a story.

Cy: Mae'n newyddiadurwr, ac maen nhw'n anelu at ddal hanfod y dref fach hon yn ei amgylchedd Nadoligaidd.
En: He's a journalist aiming to capture the essence of this small town in its Christmas environment.

Cy: Ond mae'n teimlo'n anhygoel.
En: But he feels out of place.

Cy: Mae'n edrych ar y lliwiau, yn arogli'r castannau rhost, ac yn gwrando ar y carolwyr yn canu o amgylch yr harbwr, ond dim byd yn gwneud iddo deimlo fel cartref.
En: He sees the colors, smells the roasted chestnuts, and listens to the carolers singing around the harbor, but nothing makes him feel at home.

Cy: Pan mae'r dŵr oerglyd yn taflu ei wynt dros yr harbwr, mae llygad Dylan yn digwydd gweld Eira yn trwsio ei gemwaith.
En: When the cold water sprays its wind across the harbor, Dylan's eyes happen upon Eira fixing her jewelry.

Cy: Dechreuodd sibryd goblygiadol y synhwyrau dynnu ef yn agosach.
En: The subtle whisper of the senses began to draw him closer.

Cy: Mae'n cerdded at ei stondin, ei lygaid yn chwilio am ysbrydoliaeth.
En: He walks over to her stall, his eyes searching for inspiration.

Cy: "Unrhyw beth penodol yn dal eich llygad?" meddai Eira gyda gwên swil, gan ddal ei chrefft yn ei dwylo fel gemau.
En: "Is anything specific catching your eye?" Eira asked with a shy smile, holding her craft in her hands like gems.

Cy: "Yn wir, popeth," atebodd Dylan, yn garedig.
En: "Indeed, everything," replied Dylan, kindly.

Cy: Mae'n ceisio dal y darlun yn ei gyfrwng ei hun, geiriau mewn priodoleddau o hynod.
En: He tries to capture the picture in his medium, words with a touch of peculiarity.

Cy: Trwy ysgogiad cyfeillgar, mae Eira yn cynnig dangos ei dref iddo.
En: With a friendly nudge, Eira offers to show him her town.

Cy: "Ydych chi erioed wedi gweld hen dref yr hydref?" gofynnodd hi, yn llawn ysgogiad.
En: "Have you ever seen the old town in autumn?" she asked, full of enthusiasm.

Cy: Mae'r cwestiwn yn canu ag addewid.
En: The question rings with promise.

Cy: Mewn erlid o chwerthin a straeon, mae Eira yn mynd â Dylan i leoliadau cudd, o'r farchnad i'r mannau lle mae'r môr yn cwrdd â'r lan.
En: In a chase of laughter and stories, Eira takes Dylan to hidden spots, from the market to the places where the sea meets the shore.

Cy: Mae'n rhannu'r chwedlau; pawb wedi'u plethu â moesau Aberaeron.
En: She shares the legends; all entwined with the ethos of Aberaeron.

Cy: Mae gan y cyfuniad honedig hwn o...
