À propos de cet audio

 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.

Efallai ei fod wedi codi'r loced yma," cyhoeddodd Llew, ei lais yn llawn chwilfrydedd.En: "Look, Eira, a peculiar tree. Maybe the locket was hidden here," announced Llew, his voice full of curiosity.Cy: Roedd ei fryd ar y dirgelwch mwy nag unrhyw loced, ond roedd yn parchu angerdd ei gefnither.En: He was more interested in the mystery than any locket, but he respected his cousin's passion.Cy: "Mae'r llythyrau'n dweud coeden sydd ger afon fach, nid coeden hynod," atebodd Eira, yn chwifio'r papurau yn y gwynt ysgafn.En: "The letters say a tree that's near a small river, not a peculiar tree," replied Eira, waving the papers in the gentle breeze.Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw symud trwy'r coed, trodd y coed yn fwy trwchus, y llwybrau'n enfawr ac yn dylanwadu ar eu penderfyniadau.En: As they moved through the woods, the trees grew thicker, the paths enormous and influencing their decisions.Cy: Ond collidedynt am lwybr mân, yn anadferadwy i'r llygaid heb gyfarwydd, y lleisiodd Llew ddadlau efallai y byddai'n arwain at eu nod.En: But they stumbled upon a small path, barely noticeable to untrained eyes, which Llew suggested might lead them to their goal.Cy: Roedd Eira'n ansicr, ond rhowd yntau ei olwg wirioneddol ddidwyll, ac felly penderfynodd gadw gwerthfawrogiad ei farn.En: Eira was uncertain, but he offered his genuine and earnest look, persuading her to value his opinion.Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw gyrraedd'r ogof honedig, roedd Llew'n haeru bod roedd y loced yno, er nad oedd y llythyrau'n sôn am ogof.En: Upon reaching the supposed cave, Llew insisted the locket was there, despite the letters not mentioning a cave.Cy: Nid oedd amser i golli.En: There was no time to lose.Cy: Tra'n chwilio o amgylch, chwythodd gwynt sydyn trwy'r ogof, gan wneud i gymalau’r creigiau siglo.En: As they searched around, a sudden wind blew through the cave, causing the rocks' joints to tremble.Cy: "Eira, rhaid i ni fynd," rhybuddiodd Llew wrth iddi ymgynddeiriogi'n wyllt o gwmpas.En: "Eira, we must go," Llew warned as she scrambled frantically around.Cy: Cyn iddynt allu dadlau, disgynodd carreg fwy gyda bloedd, ac er i rasio allan o'r ogof, roedd elfen anodd o hwylustod.En: Before they could argue, a larger rock fell with a crash, and despite racing out of the cave, there was an element of difficulty.Cy: Daliodd Eira'r loced yn ei dwylo.En: Eira held the locket in her hands.Cy: Ar gwrs y cwmwl, eisteddodd y ddau wrth safle diogel, gan syllu ar ogoniant yng ngwlith y bore.En: Under the canopy of the sky, the two sat at a safe distance, gazing at the glory in the morning dew.Cy: "Wyt ti'n iawn?" gofynnodd Llew, gan seiniad gofal syfrdanol.En: "Are you alright?" Llew asked, with a tone of genuine concern.Cy: "Dim ond diolch i ti," atebodd Eira, gwenu.En: "Only thanks to you," Eira replied, smiling.Cy: Roedd dilysrwydd sylweddol yn y loced oedd yn ei dwylo, ond cyfarwyddo mwy o barch oedd i'r egwyl iddongli rhwng teuluoedd a phrofiadau gyda'i gilydd.En: There was a significant authenticity in the locket she held, but more respect was given to the gap bridged between families and shared experiences.Cy: Roedd y loced, er yn brydferth, i weld yn llai pwysig na'r atgofion ddoe.En: The locket, though beautiful, seemed less important than yesterday's memories.Cy: Fforio trwy'r coed am well hufen, dewis y pethau sy'n wirioneddol bwysig, oedd y gwir etifeddiaeth.En: Exploring through the woods for richer stories, choosing what truly matters, was the real legacy.Cy: roedd ...
