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.

cofleidio'r ddau gyda'u stoicedd.En: Every stone and nook was filled with history, embracing the two with their stoic presence.Cy: Roeddent wedi ymgynnull gyda grŵp bach o bobl ar gyfer encil tawel dan arweiniad, a'r ddymuniad yw cyrraedd tawelwch mewngwlad arferol.En: They had gathered with a small group of people for a quiet retreat led by a guide, with the wish to achieve the usual inner peace of the countryside.Cy: Eisteddai Glyn wrth ymyl Eira, yn tynnu sylw gyda gwên deg.En: Glyn sat next to Eira, catching her attention with a gentle smile.Cy: Roedd yn hawdd i Glyn chwilio'r golau mewn unrhyw sefyllfa, ond roedd Eira yn gobeithio y byddai'r encil yn dod â thawelwch a heddwch o fewn iddi.En: It was easy for Glyn to find the light in any situation, but Eira hoped the retreat would bring calm and peace within her.Cy: "Cyn i ddechrau'r sesiwn," meddalai Eira, "dim ond yr encil hon sydd ei angen arnaf.En: "Before the session starts," Eira said softly, "it's just this retreat I need."Cy: "Dechreuodd y sesiwn a daeth pob llais i dawelwch.En: The session began and every voice fell silent.Cy: Ond yna, ddechreuodd robin gân draw uwchben.En: But then, a robin started singing above.Cy: Roedd canu'r robin yn hardd, ond yn dybryd.En: The robin's song was beautiful, yet urgent.Cy: Bob tro roedd pawb yn mewnanadlu'n ddofn, roedd y robin yn dechrau eto gyda'i serenâd.En: Every time everyone took a deep breath, the robin would start again with its serenade.Cy: Roedd gan Eira awydd codi ei llaw a cheisio hogi'r robin i ffwrdd ond roedd rhywbeth mewn ymddigiad Glyn yn dal ei sylw.En: Eira had the urge to raise her hand and try to shoo the robin away, but something in Glyn's demeanor caught her attention.Cy: Agorodd Glyn un llygad, a chyflogodd ei gynffon sy'n well fel y ddewin mwyaf.En: Glyn opened one eye and used his superior tail—a masterful talent.Cy: "Fechgyn," meddai'n dawel, "dyma'r bwngog lleol," gwenuodd.En: "Folks," he said quietly, "here's the local charmer," he smiled.Cy: Roedd Eira'n chwilio am y tawelwch y tu mewn iddi, ond y robin bach hwn yn yr awyr yn ailadrodd ac yn gyrru'i amynedd bron i ffin.En: Eira was searching for the calm within her, but this little robin in the air kept repeating itself, almost driving her patience to the brink.Cy: Ym mryd pur o rwystredigedd, agorodd Eira ei llygaid a chroes ei henw ar weld Glyn yn copio'r robin gyda'u hunaniaeth gwenwynig canu, dod yn unig foment a'i alwedigaeth ei grisialu gyda gwen llawn digon.En: In a pure moment of frustration, Eira opened her eyes and crossed her gaze on seeing Glyn mimicking the robin with his own toxic identity singing, becoming a single moment and clarifying his vocation with a full smile of amusement.Cy: Codiodd chwerthin o'i swbconsiws a chymerodd amser dim yr amser i pipio drwy hi fel glaw tawel ar ddiwrnod o wres.En: Laughter sprang from her subconscious and took no time at all to ripple through her like gentle rain on a hot day.Cy: Cwympodd trwy elyn y robin ac ymsefydliodd, gyda Glyn wrth ei ymyl, cofleidiodd y chwerthin hwnnw.En: It passed through the robin's antics and settled down, with Glyn beside her, embracing that laughter.Cy: Gadawodd ei straen, a gwnaeth y syniad o daclo amynedd gronyn o ddoniolrwydd y robin ddidrafferth.En: She let go of her stress, and the idea of dealing with her patience became a grain of humor, thanks to the robin.Cy: Gan roi law ar ysgwydd Glyn, meddai, "Wel, y sesiywn yma wnaeth mwy o fudd i fi nag oeddwn i'n ei feddwl.En: Placing her hand on Glyn's shoulder, she said, "Well, this session did more good for me than I thought."Cy: "Dechreuodd Glyn chwerthin o dan bendron anadl yn bale euraidd nos ddrws y cyfnos.En: Glyn began laughing under his breath as a golden pale evening approached the dusk.Cy: "Weithiau, Eira bach, mae llawn tawelwch yn dod o ganol 'nghlwyddyn,' nid dim ond cyfrifon gyda neumonau.En: "Sometimes, Eira dear, full tranquility comes from the middle of our drive, not just accounts with calmness," he said.Cy: "Yn awyr wawr o ddewred i lawnfwy, fe wnaeth Glyn adlewyrchu caneuon y robin gyda Eira yn ymuno'n gynnes, roeddent yn medru cerdded ffwrdd â Neo senedd Tawelwch, cofio ffaith hynod wrthwyddog: weithiau, mae heddwch mewn chwerthin.En: In the dawn air of bravery to full softness, Glyn echoed the robin's songs with Eira joining warmly, as they were able to walk away with Neo Peace Council, remembering the remarkably vivid fact: sometimes, peace is in laughter.
