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.
