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.

Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Feabhsaigh do chumas éisteachta le scéalta Gaeilge inniu!

Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí séasúr na Féile na Samhna ag teacht, agus bhraith an aer faoi leith timpeall na n-Aillte Mhothair.
En: The season of Féile na Samhna was approaching, and the air around the Cliffs of Moher felt special.

Ga: Bhí an fharraige ag bualadh in aghaidh na haille agus bhí na duilleoga ag titim le dathanna geala an fhómhair.
En: The sea was crashing against the cliff, and the leaves were falling with the bright colors of autumn.

Ga: Bhí Niamh ag súil go mór leis an lá seo.
En: Niamh was eagerly anticipating this day.

Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh a háilleacht nádúrtha a roinnt lena col ceathracha Eamon agus Roisín.
En: She wanted to share its natural beauty with her cousins Eamon and Roisín.

Ga: Bhí an triúr acu ag ullmhú don turas siúlóide.
En: The three of them were preparing for the hiking trip.

Ga: Bhí Niamh ag spalpadh leis an tús agus bhí Roisín ag bogadh a ceaintín dathanna lena easpaig.
En: Niamh was bursting with excitement at the start, and Roisín was moving her colorful flask along with her easels.

Ga: Bhí Eamon, áfach, ag dul i ngleic lena ghuthán aige, cearrbhachas agus an fhíorshaol ag fán thíos leis.
En: Eamon, however, was grappling with his phone, gambling and real life slipping away from him.

Ga: "Cuir an gléas sin i leataobh, Eamon," a dúirt Niamh go flaithiúil, a dearcadh cruthaitheach fós ag dul tríd.
En: "Put that device aside, Eamon," said Niamh generously, her creative outlook still shining through.

Ga: "Anois is an t-am chun taitneamh a bhaint as an dúlra!
En: "Now is the time to enjoy nature!"

Ga: "D’éist Roisín le breith shimplí Anneise ar chroílár nádúr na hÉireann, ach fós bhí Eamon dlúth le léirscáth a scáileáin.
En: Roisín listened to Anneise's simple capture of the essence of Ireland's nature, but Eamon remained glued to his screen's reflection.

Ga: Bhí a n-aghaidh le haghaidh an rochtana chluastóg a bhí i radharc slán, ach le Niamh mar threoraí, bhí radharc na farraige gan comhtharlú.
En: They were facing the cliff's edge clearly in sight, but with Niamh as the guide, the view of the sea was not coincidental.

Ga: Chinn Niamh go mbeadh smacht ag teastáil le hEamon a fháil le bheith oscailte don scoth.
En: Niamh decided that Eamon needed some encouragement to be open to the finest.

Ga: "Cad é an difríocht a dhéanann lá amháin gan do threalamh?
En: "What difference does one day without your gear make?

Ga: Déan amhlaidh do mhaitheas féin.
En: Do it for your own good."

Ga: "Mhol Roisín go hiontach: "Téimid chuig an gcuair an-áit.
En: Roisín suggested brilliantly: "Let's head to the special spot.

Ga: Tá áit ann nach raibh áitith mshuite agam riamh, áit a bhféadfadh mo phaidir a bhreathnú.
En: There is a place I've never sat, a place where my prayer could view."

Ga: "Chuir siad aghaidh ar an turas iontach, Niamh ag cur in iúl ealaín gleoite na nádúir, Eamon ag tabhairt aird don bhraitheogacht, agus Roisín ag cuardach comhla ceim a fhuascailt.
En: They embarked on the great journey, Niamh pointing out the exquisite art of nature, Eamon paying attention to the environment, and Roisín seeking a creative outlet.

Ga: De réir mar a shroiseadar an uachtar, chonaic siad an ghrian ag titim faoi agus an ghealach lán ag ardú.
En: As they reached the summit, they saw the sun setting and the full moon rising.

Ga: Bhí sé seo an phointe clíkin.
En: This was...
