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.

Bhí sé ar intinn aige caint léi faoin scoilt seo, ach chuir an t-oighear cosc ar a szálta go minic.En: Cian, more intense and with the time that had come between him and his sister weighing heavily on him, intended to talk to her about their estrangement, but the ice often hindered his steps.Ga: Thosaigh Aisling an laethanta seo ag smaoineamh ar an gcaoi ar fhásadar le chéile.En: Aisling began these days by reflecting on how they grew up together.Ga: Bhí cuimhní aige ar laethanta samhraidh, taobh raite agus eachtraíochta timpeall ag na canálacha.En: She had memories of summer days, by the banks and adventuring around the canals.Ga: Anois, bhí gach rud difriúil.En: Now, everything was different.Ga: D'aithin sí gur éiríodh an t-uaigneas eatarthu.En: She realized the loneliness had crept in between them.Ga: D'iarr sí ar Cian bualadh léi san áit is ansa léi sa domhan.En: She asked Cian to meet her in her favorite place in the world.Ga: Agus iad ag siúl na sléibhte, ní raibh caint, ach níorbh é an tost gan chiall.En: As they walked the mountains, there was no talk, but the silence was not meaningless.Ga: Bhí Cian ag smaoineamh ar an rud ba cheart dó a rá.En: Cian was pondering what he should say.Ga: Bhí a fhios aige go raibh gá le hathrú.En: He knew change was needed.Ga: Bhí an suíomh álainn ag cuidiú le Aisling labhairt faoi na mothúcháin a bhí aici.En: The beautiful setting helped Aisling talk about the feelings she had.Ga: “Cian,” a dúirt sí go socair, “is fada ó bhíomar le chéile ar an mbealach seo.En: “Cian,” she said calmly, “it's been a long time since we've been together like this.Ga: Ní theastaíonn uaim go mbeadh an fad sin idir muid níos mó.”En: I don't want that distance between us anymore.”Ga: D'éist Cian go cúramach, agus bhris an clog caol ina chroí.En: Cian listened carefully, and the thin bell in his heart broke.Ga: “Tá aiféala orm, Aisling,” a d'fhreagair sé, a ghlór go hionraic.En: “I'm sorry, Aisling,” he replied, his voice sincere.Ga: “Bhí mé ró-chúthail chun mise a chur in iúl.”En: “I’ve been too shy to express myself.”Ga: Bhí an t-uisce go ciúin ag tuilleadh ar fud an locha.En: The water quietly lapped across the lake.Ga: Bhí sé mar má bhí na focail istigh iontu ag rith go saor.En: It was as if the words within them were finally flowing freely.Ga: In am sin, tháinig tuiscint eatarthu.En: In that moment, understanding came between them.Ga: Bhí séasúr na gheimhreadh difriúil uathu ó shin.En: Their winter season was different from then on.Ga: Bhí sé lán de gheallúint agus d'áthas nua aimseartha.En: It was full of new promise and newfound joy.Ga: cosúil le crainn ag cailliúint a dteaghráin, bhí siad réidh le fáiltíocht a thabhairt do shéasúr nua dá ngaol.En: Like trees losing their leaves, they were ready to welcome a new season for their relationship.Ga: Mar a d'fhág siad Páirc Náisiúnta Chonamara taobh le taobh, bhí na grianghraif deirfiúracha óige tarraingthe ar ais acu.En: As they left Páirc Náisiúnta Chonamara side by side, the youthful ...
