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?

En: We begin our adventure in the green heart of Eryri, in a mysterious and enticing place – a slate mine that has been abandoned for years. Cy: Mae'r awel wan haf yn cydgroesi gyda'r tywydd cynnes sy'n gohirao tu allan, ond o dan ddwfn y ddaear, mae golygfa o fyd sy'n llonydd a chill. En: The light summer breeze mingles with the warm weather lingering outside, but deep underground, there is a scene of a world that is still and chill. Cy: Rhys, myfyriwr daeareg ifanc, yn ei frwdfrydedd heb ei gyfateb, wedi darganfod hen fap o'r mwynglawdd ac mae'n awchu i fynd yn ddyfnach i chwilio am gregyn mwynol unigrwy ar gyfer ei draethawd hir.

Cy: Yma hefyd mae Dylan, canllaw profiadol sy'n nabod y mwynglawdd fel cefn ei law. En: Joining them is Dylan, an experienced guide who knows the mine like the back of his hand. Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw gamu i'r mynediad tywyll, mae Rhys yn hela belltoach trwy gymaint o lwybrau llithrig. En: As they step into the dark entrance, Rhys ventures further through many slippery paths.
