 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.

Tá clinic gar dóibh anseo."En: He decided with simplicity and honesty: "We need to stop. There’s a clinic near here."Ga: Go hionraic, bhain clinice éadrom de bharr bia a itheadh ar scoil an chostas iontach suas an N515.En: Thankfully, the clinic attributed the issue to food she ate at school, costing them just a trip up the N515.Ga: Bhí sé sin go leor!En: That was small enough!Ga: Laghdaigh an clinice, ach spreag sé leo a bheith níos cúramach do gach ceannúsair a bhí ag teacht.En: The clinic experience relieved them, but it spurred them to be more careful with each meal to come.Ga: Go grámhar, rinne Ronan athbhreithniú ar an suíomh.En: Lovingly, Ronan reviewed the situation.Ga: "Ní mór duit féin agus do shláinte a chosaint, Saoirse. Sthalóimid anseo amárach."En: "You need to protect yourself and your health, Saoirse. We’ll stay here tomorrow."Ga: Laistigh den ghrúpa, thosaigh nasc na féile le chéile, ag aithint a thábhachta a bheith aireach agus a bheith míshocair le chéile d’fhonn.En: Within the group, a bond of kindness began to form, recognizing the importance of taking care of and being comfortable with each other.Ga: D'fhoghlaim Ronan gur uaireanta, nach bailigh na phictiúir is áille, ach bailigh na cuimhní is luachmhaire nach féidir a ghlacadh go huaill an ceamara.En: Ronan learned that sometimes it’s not the pictures you collect that are most beautiful, but the most valuable memories that a camera can’t capture.Ga: Bhí a fhios acu anois nach raibh an turas faoi na radharcanna phoiblí, ach faoi an chuideachta na chéile agus na seanchas ócáideach le chéile agus teiripeach.En: They now knew the journey wasn’t about the public sights, but about each other’s company and the casual and therapeutic conversations.Ga: Mar sin thosaigh an chéad turas seo, go h-álainn ar gach gné, téann a scéal thart an Ringen, chomh dílis dá chéile, a bhí suas.En: Thus, this first journey, beautiful in every aspect, moved the story along the Ring, as loyally to each other as they were up.
