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: Yn gynnar gyda'r bore, roedd y Coedwig Ddeon yn disgleirio mewn lliwiau yr hydref.
En: Early in the morning, the Coedwig Ddeon shone with the colors of autumn.

Cy: Cymylau dirwy yn siglo'n araf ar draws yr awyr las.
En: Thin clouds drifted slowly across the blue sky.

Cy: Gareth, Rhys, a Carys oedd yno, yn ystod y diwrnod arbennig cyfarfod gyda natur.
En: Gareth, Rhys, and Carys were there, on this special day of meeting with nature.

Cy: Coed tal yn gwisgo deiliach coch a oren oedd o'u cwmpas, yn creu tirwedd syfrdanol.
En: Tall trees wearing red and orange leaves surrounded them, creating a breathtaking landscape.

Cy: "Ffrindiau!
En: "Friends!

Cy: Dewch yma!
En: Come here!"

Cy: " galwodd Gareth, ei llais yn llawn cyffro.
En: called Gareth, his voice full of excitement.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn llawn bywyd, bob amser yn chwilio am antur newydd.
En: Gareth was full of life, always looking for a new adventure.

Cy: Roedd dau o'i ffrindiau, Rhys a Carys, yn sefyll yn agos, yn edrych yn ansicr.
En: His two friends, Rhys and Carys, stood nearby, looking uncertain.

Cy: "Sut am gystadleuaeth neidio i mewn i'r dail?
En: "How about a leaf jumping contest?"

Cy: " cynigiodd Gareth, yn mwgu o chwerthin.
En: suggested Gareth, bursting with laughter.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn edrych ar Garys gyda gwyneb ansicr.
En: Rhys looked at Carys with an uncertain face.

Cy: "Ond Gareth, mae'r llawr yn llithrig," meddai Rhys, yn pwyntio at y mannau o fwd rhwng y dail wedi cwympo.
En: "But Gareth, the ground is slippery," said Rhys, pointing at the patches of mud between the fallen leaves.

Cy: "Nid oes ots!
En: "No worries!"

Cy: " atebodd Gareth.
En: replied Gareth.

Cy: "Bydd yn hwyl!
En: "It will be fun!"

Cy: " Yn fwriadol gwthiodd ei ffrindiau i fynd gyda'r syniad.
En: He intentionally pushed his friends to go along with the idea.

Cy: Wrth gerdded drwodd y llwybr cul, llithrodd Gareth unwaith eto yn y mwd, gan wneud i Rhys a Carys chwerthin.
En: As they walked along the narrow path, Gareth slipped once more in the mud, making Rhys and Carys laugh.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn llydan ei wên, ei ffrindiau'n gweld ei awydd i wneud diwrnod i'w chofio.
En: Gareth beamed widely, his friends seeing his eagerness to make it a day to remember.

Cy: Yn sydyn, gwelodd Gareth bentwr mawr o ddeilen.
En: Suddenly, Gareth spotted a large pile of leaves.

Cy: "Dyma'r un!
En: "This is the one!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd, a diolchai am yr antur hwn.
En: he shouted, grateful for this adventure.

Cy: Cyn i unrhyw un stopio ef, neidiwch i mewn i'r pentwr enfawr, ei lygaid yn disgleirio gyda lawenydd.
En: Before anyone could stop him, he jumped into the enormous pile, his eyes sparkling with joy.

Cy: Ond, fel roedd yr hapusrwydd wedi anelu ato, daeth plot twyllodrus o fwd i'r wyneb.
En: But, just as happiness had aimed at him, a sneaky plot of mud surfaced.

Cy: Glanio'n galed ar ei gefn, roedd Gareth yn edrych ar yr awyr â'r llechfaen o fwd o'i gwmpas.
En: Landing hard on his back, Gareth looked at the sky with mud-covered surroundings.

Cy: Roedd y silffoedd chwerthin yn arllwys allan o Rhys a Carys.
En: The shelves of laughter poured out of Rhys and Carys.

Cy: Heb ei gywilyddio, gwên fawr Gareth oedd hyd yn oed yn...
