À propos de cet audio

 Are you ready to supercharge your Irish 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 Irish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Irish 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 Gaeltacht, Aran Islands, or Dingle Peninsula? Maybe you want to speak Irish with your grandparents from Galway?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background necessary to fully immerse yourself in regions where Irish is primarily spoken, such as Ireland and Northern Ireland. 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 Irish listening comprehension.

"I'm doubtful about that."Ga: Ach an mhaidin sin, d’athraigh an aimsir go tobann.En: But that morning, the weather changed suddenly.Ga: Bhí stoirm sneachta ag reáchtáil thar na sléibhte, ag díriú an bheirt acu isteach sa chábán.En: A snowstorm raced over the mountains, confining them both inside the cabin.Ga: Níorbh fhéidir imeacht, agus theastaigh uathu an tionscadal a chríochnú in am.En: They couldn't leave, and they needed to complete the project on time.Ga: Le gach maothán sneachta ag cur is ag cur, tuigeann Áine rud éigin.En: With each snowdrift piling up, Áine realized something.Ga: "Tá orainn obair le chéile," arsa Áine. "Inniu, déanfaimid rud nua."En: "We need to work together," said Áine. "Today, we'll create something new."Ga: D'oibrigh an bheirt go dian le chéile, meascán de chruinneas Áine agus de chruthaitheacht Táidhg.En: The two worked hard together, combining Áine's precision with Tadhg's creativity.Ga: Chuir an stoirm a raibh orthu brath ar a chéile ar bhealaí nua.En: The storm forced them to rely on each other in new ways.Ga: Go deireanach san oíche, bhí an dearadh críochnaithe.En: Late into the night, the design was finished.Ga: Agus an stoirm tar éis dul ar aghaidh, d’fhill an dá ailtire go Baile Átha Cliath lena tionscadal.En: With the storm passed, the two architects returned to Baile Átha Cliath with their project.Ga: Bhí sé iontach.En: It was exceptional.Ga: Cuirtear fáilte roimh an dearadh sa chomhlacht, a mhol a nuálaíocht agus a comhoibriú.En: The company welcomed the design, praising its innovation and collaboration.Ga: Tá Áine níos solúbtha anois, tuigeann sí gur féidir tairbhe a bhaint as obair le daoine eile.En: Áine is now more flexible, understanding that benefits can come from working with others.Ga: Tá muinín tagtha ag Tadhg, agus feiceann sé gur féidir leis aignedéar a chur i bhfoirmeacha ailtireachta chomh maith leis chomh maith.En: Tadhg has gained confidence and sees that he can express ideas in architectural forms as well.Ga: Agus ar Oíche Fhéile Bríde, agus sneachta ag leá, tá tús úr ann, ní amháin dá dtionscadal, ach dá gcaidreamh oibre freisin.En: And on Oíche Fhéile Bríde, with the snow melting, there is a fresh start, not only for their project, but for their working relationship too. ...
