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 cuma tuirseach ort,” a dúirt sí go cúramach.En: “It’s beautiful here, but are you sure you're okay? You look tired,” she said carefully.Ga: Rinne Eamon gáire, ag iarraidh imní Siobhan a chur amú.En: Eamon laughed, trying to dismiss Siobhan’s concern.Ga: “Tá mé ceart go leor,” arsa sé, cé gur mhothaigh sé rud éigin duineach laistigh.En: “I’m fine,” he said, although he felt something uneasy inside.Ga: Ní raibh fonn air a admháil cé chomh dona is a bhí a shláinte ag éirí.En: He didn't want to admit how much his health was deteriorating.Ga: Ní fada ina dhiaidh sin, bhí siad sa suíomh foirfe chun an grianghraf a ghlacadh.En: Not long after, they found the perfect spot to take the photo.Ga: Bhí an spéir liath, ach thóg sé réabhlach de thintreach sa cheo.En: The sky was gray, but a streak of lightning lit up the mist.Ga: “Fan, Siobhan,” a d’iarr Eamon uirthi.En: “Wait, Siobhan,” he asked her.Ga: Shiúil sé cúpla céim ar ais, a cheamara ullmhaithe aige.En: He walked a few steps back, his camera ready.Ga: Ach, go tobann, bhraith sé lag.En: But suddenly, he felt weak.Ga: Bhí an talamh ag croitheadh lena chos.En: The ground was shaking beneath his feet.Ga: Go tobann, thit sé ar an talamh.En: Suddenly, he fell to the ground.Ga: “Eamon!” a ghlaoigh Siobhan, ag rith chuige.En: “Eamon!” Siobhan shouted, running to him.Ga: Bhí scaoll uirthi, ach bhí a fhios aici ní raibh aon am le moille.En: She was in a panic, but she knew there was no time to waste.Ga: Bhí sí ag surfáil ar a fón póca ag lorg cabhrach, ag fanacht lena thaobh go dtí gur tháinig foireann leighis.En: She was surfing on her mobile phone looking for help, staying by his side until the medical team arrived.Ga: I gceann cúpla nóiméad, chuaigh siad go dtí an t-ospidéal.En: Within a few minutes, they were on their way to the hospital.Ga: Bhí Eamon fós aineolach, ach seoladh é go seomra cúraim speisialta.En: Eamon was still unconscious, but he was sent to a special care room.Ga: Nuair a dhúisigh sé cúpla uair an chloig níos déanaí, bhí Siobhan ina shuí in aice leis, a lámh i mbéal an gháire.En: When he woke up a few hours later, Siobhan was sitting beside him, her hand covering a smile.Ga: “Tá tú sábháilte anois,” a dúirt sí, a súile lán de ghrá.En: “You’re safe now,” she said, her eyes full of love.Ga: Bhí Eamon buíoch agus gníomhach.En: Eamon was thankful and active.Ga: “Gabh mo leithscéal, Siobhan. Bhí orm mo sheif a ligean anuas.”En: “I’m sorry, Siobhan.
