Disclaimer:

This is our first venture into a podcast-style format, designed specifically to support Irish language learners. Our primary goal is to maintain high grammatical accuracy, as is the standard for all content on TYM Learn Irish. Therefore, unlike typical free-flowing podcasts, our text and audio were carefully prepared in advance to ensure that the grammar is 99% correct. Additionally, we intentionally deliver the speech at a slower pace to make it easier for learners to follow.

For many learners, listening to Irish language podcasts with fluent or native speakers can be challenging due to the fast-paced delivery. In our podcasts, however, we prioritize clarity by proofreading and rehearsing the text before recording, ensuring that it’s both accurate and accessible for learners at different levels.

This project also allowed us to experiment with two speakers: one with strong Irish language skills and the other at an earlier stage in their learning journey. We aimed to create a conversational dynamic that feels natural and engaging. While some of the audio quality didn’t turn out as perfectly as we hoped, this is part of our own learning process in podcast production.

Despite these minor issues, each of the three podcast episodes offers a wealth of educational content. We encourage you to listen actively, take notes on new and familiar words, and capture as many useful phrases as possible. Enjoy, engage, and make the most of these learning opportunities!
