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: Wrth i lawr dyddiau'r Hydref ymestyn i'r unerbyn, roedd golau haul melyn yn tywynnu trwy'r ffenestri uchel musewm Hanes Naturiol, gan wneud y lle'n caelilwg cynnes ac amlsian.
En: As the autumn days lengthened into twilight, golden sunlight shone through the high windows of the musewm Hanes Naturiol, giving the place a warm and multicolored glow.

Cy: Ar hyn o bryd, canol dydd gyda'r ysgol ar daith ffeild, roedd Anwen yn sefyll yn llinell hir a digalon o flaen esgyrn y tyrannosaurus rex.
En: At this time, midday with the school on a field trip, Anwen stood in a long, disheartening line in front of the esgyrn y tyrannosaurus rex.

Cy: Ei ffrind mwyaf bywiog, Gareth, yn taro yma ac acw gyda'i chyd-ddisgyblion eraill, gan fwynhau cyfaint y sŵn.
En: Her most lively friend, Gareth, was darting here and there with other classmates, enjoying the volume of the noise.

Cy: Anwen, yn wahanol, oedd ar ei mostarad iechydgar, oedd yn mwynhau'r dewis o dawelwch yn amlach.
En: Anwen, on the other hand, was at her most content, enjoying the option of quiet more often.

Cy: Ond cyn belled ag yr oedd hi'n hoff o dynorau, roedd ei chalon yn curo ar gyflymder, gydag awydd i ganfod rhywbeth arbennig yn y casgliad helaeth o esgyrn a chreigiau.
En: But as much as she loved dinosaurs, her heart was beating rapidly, eager to discover something special in the extensive collection of bones and rocks.

Cy: Roedd teimlad o sigrydigaeth yn llenwi Anwen - rhyw ddiffyg perthyn, yn ogystal â'r anhwylderau o deimlo di-nod.
En: A feeling of restlessness filled Anwen—a sense of not belonging, coupled with the turmoil of feeling insignificant.

Cy: Wrth i'r ysgol deithio o draith i draith, dechreuodd Anwen tranquil bob un delwedd, gwrando ar yr yndd sylwgar ym mblynyddoedd yr arddangosfeydd.
En: As the school traveled from display to display, Anwen attentively absorbed each exhibit's details.

Cy: Ond y teimlad de lidar gyda phob teithio mwyach.
En: Yet the feeling persisted with each journey more.

Cy: Anwen a gyflawnao llaw syddiai â'r golwg - penderfynodd hi adael y tiwr am ychydig funudau.
En: Anwen resolutely moved away with her gaze—she decided to leave the tour for a few minutes.

Cy: Wrth neidio i ardaloedd mwy disylw o'r musewm, crwydrodd hi i gwmplith liwio y celf rhwng rhyngir y afydau.
En: Jumping into the quieter areas of the museum, she wandered amidst the colorful art between the geological layers.

Cy: Roedd mewnogaethici hyn am ei rainodi'n well cwmpawd from graig â gledr ei llaw.
En: This dwell into observation felt more aligned with her internal compass, like a rock against the palm of her hand.

Cy: Ar y llaw arall o ddrws a agorodd o flaen i'r ystafell lonydd, canfu Anwen rhywbeth sbesial.
En: On the other side of a door that opened in front of a quiet room, Anwen discovered something special.

Cy: Yn cudd dan glo mewn sgrîn gwydr oedd ffosil wêl, ei lifo'n high wyth radioactive dan waith arbenigol.
En: Hidden under lock and glass was a well-preserved fossil, glowing a faint radioactive hue under specialist care.

Cy: Yn annisgwyl, roedd yn rhywogaeth nad oedd wedi'i hamlygu o'r blaen.
En: Unexpectedly, it was a species that had not been displayed before.

Cy: Synhwyrafodd Anwen ei bod wedi canfod rhywbeth cregyn.
En: Anwen sensed she had found something extraordinary.

Cy: Gyda llaw'n arwylo'r ffosil, trodd ei llwybr o phoethu'n statws...
