    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Harvest Night Magic: A Friendship Sparks at Llyn Tegid Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-10-18-22-34-01-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Wrth i'r dydd yn lleddfu a'r nos yn agosáu, roedd awyrgylch awyrgylch arbennig yn Llyn Tegid. En: As the day softened and the night approached, there was a special atmosphere at Llyn Tegid. Cy: Taflu lliwiau’r hydref ar y dŵr tawel, roedd golau’r lampau yn pefrio o amgylch y llyn. En: Casting the autumn colors on the calm water, the light from the lamps sparkled around the lake. Cy: Roedd Carwyn yn sefyll wrth lan y dŵr, ei galon yn curo gyda chyffro a nerfusrwydd. En: Carwyn stood by the water's edge, his heart beating with excitement and nervousness. Cy: Roedd y diwrnod yn arbennig – Gŵyl Cynhaeaf oedd hi, yn llawn canu, dawnsio, a chwerthin. En: It was a special day – it was the Harvest Festival, full of singing, dancing, and laughter. Cy: Fodd bynnag, nid y gweithgareddau hyn sydd dal y cariad yng nghalon Carwyn. En: However, it was not these activities that captured the love in Carwyn's heart. Cy: Roedd Eira, ferch fywiog gydag artist fewnol, yn hedfan rhwng y stondinau, ei llygaid yn chwilio am lliw a golau i ysbrydoli ei chelf. En: Eira, a lively girl with an inner artist, flitted between the stalls, her eyes searching for color and light to inspire her art. Cy: Wrth iddi weld Carwyn yn sefyll ar wahân, teimlai casáu eu bod yn gweld pobl yn unig mewn lle cymaint â hyn. En: When she saw Carwyn standing apart, she loathed seeing people alone in such a large place. Cy: Felly, fe benderfynodd iddo fynd at Carwyn. En: So, she decided to go over to Carwyn. Cy: “Eira ydw i,” meddai, gan gyflwyno ei hun gyda gwên eang. En: “Eira I am,” she said, introducing herself with a wide smile. Cy: Roedd Carwyn yn golchi â swildod, ond gwelodd yn Eira rywbeth fel darganfyddiad. En: Carwyn flushed with shyness, but he saw something of discovery in Eira. Cy: Roedd ei hyder yn llawn cyferbyniad â’i hunan swil. En: Her confidence was in sharp contrast to his shy self. Cy: “Helo, Carwyn ydw i,” atebodd. En: “Hello, Carwyn I am,” he replied. Cy: Fel y nos yn raddol godi, rhannodd Carwyn stori o’r gorffennol am Lyn Tegid. En: As the night slowly rose, Carwyn shared a story from the past about Llyn Tegid. Cy: Soniodd am y hen chwedl sy'n dweud bod pleseryddion dŵr dirgel yn gwarchod y llyn. En: He mentioned the old legend that mysterious water sprites protect the lake. Cy: Wrth ei ddiweddu, roedd llygad Eira yn pefrio gyda syniad newydd. En: By the end, Eira's eyes sparkled with a new idea. Cy: A'i lygaid yn disgleirio, Eira dywedodd, “Mae angen i mi dynnu llun hyn. En: With her eyes shining, Eira said, “I need to draw this. Cy: Rhaid dal yr ysblander a’r hud a dywedodd di’m stori, Carwyn.” En: I must capture the splendor and magic of your story, Carwyn.” Cy: Wedi hynny, dechreuodd hau i lawr y llwybr, ond nid heb adael Carwyn gydag undon a gorau gwên. En: After that, she started to sprint down the path, but not without leaving Carwyn with a constant and best smile. Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw ymuno yn y defod goleuo lampau, roedd cyfle i Carwyn siarad, a'i fomio gyda’i holl nerfusrwydd. En: As they joined in the ritual of lighting the lamps, there was an opportunity for Carwyn to speak, and he bombed with all his nervousness. Cy: “Eira,” dechreuodd, “Dw i ddim ond eisiau dweud... diolch i ti am fynd y cam cyntaf. En: “Eira,” he began, “I just want to say... thank you for taking the first step. Cy: Dw i'n falch o'r cyfle i fod yn ffrindiau ac efallai mwy…” En: I'm glad for the chance to be friends and maybe more…” Cy: Cafodd ei gondro a’i siom. En: He was both surprised and disappointed. Cy: Ond yn hytrach na siarad, roedd Eira’n codi ei chynfas, ei phensil yn symud yn gyflym ar draws papur. En: But rather than speaking, Eira raised her canvas, her pencil moving quickly across paper. Cy: Roedd hi’n dal y foment: hwyl angenfilod lampau, tôn aur yr hydref, a Carwyn yn ei ymddiriedaeth a’i onestrwydd. En: She captured the moment: the joy of the lamp sprites, the golden tone of autumn, and Carwyn in his trust and honesty. Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded i lawr y lôn nos, roedd Carwyn mwy gwydn nag erioed dotio sut y gallai fynd y cam cyntaf. En: As they walked down the night lane, Carwyn, more resilient than ever, pondered how he could take the first step. Cy: Roedd yn gwybod y byddai’r cyfeillgarwch newydd hwn wedi cael ei ysmsod eisoes, ac y byddai mwy i ddod drwyddo. En: He knew that this new friendship had already been established, and that more would come through it. Cy: Fel diwedd y noson, roedd Llyn Tegid, gyda’i ddail melyn, fel pe bai’n adlewyrchu, nid yn unig digwyddiadau’r dydd, ond y newid ynddo Carwyn ei hun: o swildod i gryfder. En: At the end of the night, Llyn Tegid, with its yellow leaves, seemed to reflect not only the events of the day but the change within Carwyn himself: from shyness to strength. Cy: Roedd yn gwybod, er nad oedd e yn gwybod o’r blaen, fod gwneud agored a fyddai’n iachus a llawer mwy ystyrlon na cai di feddwl. En: He knew, though he hadn't known before, that openness would be healthier and much more meaningful than he had thought. Cy: Ar y noson honno, yn eiliadau cyffrous y gŵyl, dechreuodd eu cwlwm ffurfio, ac o'r pwynt hwnnw ymlaen, roeddent wedi gwybod – roeddent wedi dechrau ar daith o ffrindiau adnabyddus, a beth mae yn datblygu. En: On that night, in the festival's thrilling moments, their bond began to form, and from that point on, they knew – they had embarked on a journey of newfound friendship, and what it was to become.

En: On a gray autumn morning, the wind was blowing through the forests of Snowdonia. Cy: Roedd Ioan, Carys, a Gwen yn paratoi i gychwyn ar daith maes i safle hanesyddol. En: Ioan, Carys, and Gwen were preparing to set off on a field trip to a historical site. Cy: Roedd Ioan yn edrychog, ond yn cadw ei ofnau am y mynyddoedd yn gyfrinach. En: Ioan appeared calm, but kept his fears about the mountains a secret. Cy: Roedd ei atgofion o ddamwain yn y gorffennol yn dal ar ei meddwl. En: His memories of a past accident were still on his mind. Cy: “Ti’n barod?” holodd Carys, ei wyneb yn llawn cyffro. En: "Are you ready?" asked Carys, her face full of excitement. Cy: Gwenu roedd hi bob amser wrth feddwl am ddiwrnodau fel hyn. En: She always smiled when thinking of days like this. Cy: “Ydw, wrth gwrs,” atebodd Ioan, gan guddio ei bryder tu mewn ei lais. En: "Yes, of course," replied Ioan, hiding his anxiety behind his voice. Cy: Roedd Carys yn ei gefnogi heb sylwi ar ei ofn. En: Carys supported him without noticing his fear. Cy: Gwen, eu hathrawes hanes, oedd yn arwain y grŵp. En: Gwen, their history teacher, was leading the group. Cy: "Byddwn ni’n dysgu am y bryniau uchel lle’r oedd y rhufeiniad yn edrych dros Gymru," eglurodd Gwen wrth iddynt ddechrau cerdded. En: "We’ll be learning about the high hills where the Romans looked over Wales," explained Gwen as they began walking. Cy: Roedd hi’n ddynes garedig ac addysgiadol, bob amser yn gwneud yn siŵr bod ei myfyrwyr yn dysgu rhywbeth newydd. En: She was a kind and educational woman, always making sure her students learned something new. Cy: Wrth i'r llwybr fynd yn fwy serth, dechreuodd Ioan deimlo ei galon yn curo'n gyflymach. En: As the path grew steeper, Ioan began to feel his heart beat faster. Cy: Roedd y bryniau hyn yn paratoi her iddo. En: These hills posed a challenge for him. Cy: Credai ei fod yn hoffi hanes, ond roedd y ffordd i'r safle yn adgofio'r ddamwain tal dirgel o’i orffennol. En: He believed he liked history, but the path to the site reminded him of the mysterious accident from his past. Cy: Cyrraedd y dewis— dyma’r tro lle roedd yn gorfod wynebu ei ofn. En: Arriving at a decision—this was the point where he had to face his fears. Cy: Arosai Ieir fel arfer mewn man diogel, ond roedd y cyfle i archwilio safle cyfoethog mewn hanes yn ei demtio. En: He usually stayed in a safe place, but the opportunity to explore a site rich in history tempted him. Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwylio Ioan gydag awydd i’w helpu. En: Carys watched Ioan with a desire to help. Cy: "Ti’n iawn, Ioan?" gofynnodd hi'n bwyllog. En: "Are you okay, Ioan?" she asked calmly. Cy: “Ydw,” meddai Ioan o’r diwedd, “Dw i am roi cynnig ar hwn.” En: “Yes,” said Ioan finally, “I want to give this a try.” Cy: Gyda hynny, dechreuodd ddilyn Gwen a'r grŵp i fyny’r llethrau serth. En: With that, he began to follow Gwen and the group up the steep slopes. Cy: Gwen yn arwain, a stori Ion yn dechre meddwl, roedd Ioan yn cofio ei barch tuag at hanes Cymru. En: With Gwen leading, and the story beginning to unfold in his mind, Ioan recalled his respect for the history of Wales. Cy: Roedd pob cam yn uchel a phob ongl yn her, ond roedd ei benderfyniad yn parhau. En: Each step was high and each angle a challenge, but his determination remained. Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd copa'r bryn, roedd y golygfeydd yn wefreiddiol. En: As they reached the top of the hill, the views were breathtaking. Cy: Roedd y cymylau'n symud yn gloi wrth eu traed a’r bryniau’n llawn hanes o’u blaen. En: The clouds moved swiftly at their feet and the hills full of history lay before them. Cy: Roedd pwynt hanesyddol Gwen yn dweud stori. En: The historical point that Gwen explained told a story. Cy: “Gallwch chi weld lle roedd yr hen wersylloedd?” sialensiodd Gwen. En: “Can you see where the old camps were?” challenged Gwen. Cy: “Ar y dyddiau glir, gallai y rhufeiniad weld pob ciwbl o ardal yn rhyfeddol.” En: “On clear days, the Romans could see every inch of the area remarkably.” Cy: Yn sydyn, teimlai Ioan yn ddiogel ac wedi’i gryfhau. En: Suddenly, Ioan felt safe and strengthened. Cy: Roedd wedi wynebu ei ofn ac wedi pasio drwy gystadleuaeth ei feddyliau. En: He had faced his fears and passed through his mental battles. Cy: Gan eu profiad, roedd wedi dysgu y gall gwynebu ofnau ddod â theimlad difyr o gyflawniad. En: Through this experience, he had learned that facing fears can bring a thrilling sense of accomplishment. Cy: Doedd Carys ddim ond yn edrych gyda balchder, “Dwi wastad yn gwybod y gallet ti wneud e, Ioan,” meddai gyda chariad yn ei llais. En: Carys just looked on with pride, "I always knew you could do it, Ioan," she said with love in her voice. Cy: A dyna lle roedd eu taith hanesyddol yn dod i ben, gyda Ioan nawr yn gwybod bod camu allan o’i barth cysur yn gallu arwain at ddarganfyddiadau bendigedig. En: And so their historical journey came to an end, with Ioan now knowing that stepping out of his comfort zone could lead to wonderful discoveries. Cy: Roedd ein broydd yn llawn straeon a chyflawniadau newydd i’w cael. En: Our regions are full of stories and new achievements to uncover.

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: A Walk to Reconnect: Healing Bonds in Autumn’s Embrace Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-10-17-22-34-02-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Ar fore braf, dan gymylau trymion hirion, dechreuodd Eira a Llyr eu cerdded i fyny llwybrau creigiog Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri. En: On a fine morning, beneath the looming heavy clouds, Eira and Llyr began their walk up the rocky paths of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri. Cy: Roedd y coed derw a'r bedw yn arddangos lliwiau'r hydref gyda thafluniadau o oren a melyn yn crynhoi gwyrddni'r haf sydd wedi mynd heibio. En: The oak and birch trees displayed the colors of autumn, with bursts of orange and yellow collecting the green of the summer that has passed. Cy: Roedd awel oer yn cario arogl mwsogl a duonbicyllawr, gan fywiogi'r llwybrau. En: A cold breeze carried the scent of moss and bilberries, invigorating the paths. Cy: Teimlodd Eira fod hyn yn dynged, amser y penwythnos Calan Gaeaf i wneud iawn am y blynyddoedd rhwng hi a'i brawd, Llyr. En: Eira felt this was destiny, the time of the Halloween weekend to make up for the years between her and her brother, Llyr. Cy: Trodd Llyr ei lygaid i'r sgrin ffôn yn ei law a dilyn ei chwaer heb fwriad i ddechrau sgwrs. En: Llyr turned his eyes to the phone screen in his hand and followed his sister without intent to start a conversation. Cy: Telgodd Eira wynt fychan trwy ei thrwyn, teimlodd angen mawr i geisio troi’r tawelwch yn rhywbeth gwell. En: Eira exhaled slightly through her nose, feeling a strong need to try to turn the silence into something better. Cy: Roedd hi eisiau cysylltu â Llyr, nid dim ond cerdded ochr yn ochr mewn tawelwch. En: She wanted to connect with Llyr, not just walk side by side in silence. Cy: “Oes, ddylet ti weld hyn o bryd, Llyr, yng nghanol yr hydref? En: "Shouldn't you be seeing this now, Llyr, in the midst of autumn?" Cy: ” cychwynnodd hi, gan edrych dros ei hysgwydd ar y golygfeydd. En: she began, looking over her shoulder at the views. Cy: Ond erbyn hyn, roedd Llyr wedi stopio i dynnu llun o grasgfiniad coed. En: But by now, Llyr had stopped to take a picture of the collection of trees. Cy: Gobeithiodd na fyddai’n anwybyddu’r alwad am hir. En: She hoped he wouldn't ignore the call for long. Cy: Roedd gan Eira gynllun, dull a fyddai, gobeithio, yn arwain at wyneb-i-wyneb ag ymladdgar Lÿr. En: Eira had a plan, an approach that would, hopefully, lead to a face-to-face with the combative Llyr. Cy: Wrth eu troed, dechreuodd y cawod o law ddiysgol a gwaeddodd Eira wrth deimlo mabigliad oer yn llifo’n daear eu harafau. En: At their feet, a sudden shower began, and Eira shouted as she felt cold trickles running over their paths. Cy: “Mae’n well i ni ffindio lloches arnyn ni’n barod,” a allai hi. En: "We should find shelter, ready or not," she managed. Cy: Llyr yn synnu nawr, ac awgrymodd: “Ydy hynny wir angenrheidiol? En: Llyr was surprised now and suggested, "Is that really necessary?" Cy: ”Penderfynodd Eira bod angen gwneud mwy nag awgrymu nawr. En: Eira decided more than a suggestion was needed now. Cy: “Llyr, mae angen i ni siarad,” dywedodd yn rheubad neges. En: "Llyr, we need to talk," she said in a direct message. Cy: “Mae’n amser wynebu ein gorffennol. En: "It's time to face our past." Cy: ” Roedd Llyr yn ngadael y ffôn ei law am yna, ei wyneb yn datgan synnwyr o agorededd. En: Llyr let the phone drop from his hand then, his face expressing a sense of openness. Cy: Mewn llonyddwch ystyriaeth, roedd y ddau yn edrych ar ei gilydd. En: In the quiet of the moment, they looked at each other. Cy: Gofynnodd Eira'n gynnil: “Pa mor hir byddwn ni’n gadael pethau heb gael eu dweud? En: Eira gently asked, "How long will we leave things unsaid?" Cy: ”Wrth iddyn nhw aros y cawod i ffrwyno, cychwynnodd Llyr siarad, ei lais yn drwm â gyfriniol: “Byddai'n gorau i ddod â phopeth i'r wylofain, yn hytrach nag hyd yn hir. En: As they waited for the shower to relent, Llyr began to speak, his voice heavy with meaning: "It would be best to bring everything to the open, rather than let it linger." Cy: ” Roedd geiriau Llyr yn arwydd o’r llun haul newydd yn eu perthynas. En: Llyr's words were a sign of a new dawn in their relationship. Cy: Pan wnaeth Llyr gamgymeriad ar drawiad llithrig, dalodd Eira gyflym, gan achub ei ddisgyniad. En: When Llyr slipped on a slippery patch, Eira quickly caught him, preventing his fall. Cy: “Diolch i ti am hynny,” meddodd Llyr, gan edrych arno’n ddiolchgar ac yn newydd. En: "Thank you for that," Llyr said, looking at her gratefully and anew. Cy: Roedd yn foment lle nad oedd angen mwy o eiriau - dealltynt. En: It was a moment where no more words were needed—they understood. Cy: Roedd rhwystriau yn dod i ben. En: Barriers were falling. Cy: Wedi i'r cawod sefyll, dechreuant ychydig yn fwy ysgafn, eu sgwrsion bellach yn llawn dealltwriaeth newydd ac undod. En: As the shower stopped, they began to walk a little lighter, their conversations now full of new understanding and unity. Cy: Wrth droi’r gornel ar y llwybr, oedd y golygfeydd tuag at fynyddoedd yn croesawu â gwlithen haul - fel dechreuadau newydd yn cyfeirio atynt. En: As they turned the corner on the path, the views toward the mountains welcomed them with a glimmer of sunlight—like new beginnings guiding them. Cy: Pan ddychwelon hefyd eu car, roedd y weithred yn dangos newid uwch o ran eu perthynas. En: When they returned to their car, the act reflected a significant change in their relationship. Cy: Roeddent wedi ymrwymo i gadw eu sgwrsion yn agored ac yn onest yn y dyfodol. En: They were committed to keeping their conversations open and honest in the future. Cy: Roedd cwblhau’r daith gyda’u gilydd yn dal golau o obaith a chysylltiad newydd. En: Completing the journey together held a light of hope and new connection. Cy: Roedd yn deimlad o’r pwysau yn diflannu, a’u serch fel brodyr a chwiorydd yn cael ei adnewyddu. En: It felt like the weight had lifted, and their love as siblings was renewed.

En: In the lovely haven of the Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru (National Botanic Garden of Wales), there was a hidden treasure in the air. Cy: Roedd y coed yn gwisgo eu gorau hydrefol, dail cochion, oren, a melyn yn dawnsio yn y gwynt. En: The trees were wearing their best autumn attire, red, orange, and yellow leaves dancing in the wind. Cy: Dail oedd fel lliwiau gwinllannoedd, lleoliad perffaith ar gyfer cynllun arbennig Gareth.

En: Eira was calm, sensing that something special was happening today. Cy: Roedd hi wedi sylwi bod Gareth yn rhemp. En: She had noticed Gareth was nervous. Cy: "Mae wrth fy modd yma," meddai Eira, gan edrych dros y pwll koi, ei llonyddwch yn gwbwl cyferbyniol i bryder Gareth. En: "I love it here," said Eira, looking over the koi pond, her tranquility in complete contrast to Gareth's anxiety. Cy: Dyma pryd y penderfynodd Gareth bod y foment wedi cyrraedd. En: That's when Gareth decided the moment had arrived. Cy: Ewyllysiodd ar lawr ei boced, ond yna, disodlodd ar y cerigosl. En: He wished into his pocket, but then he stumbled on the pebbles.

En: This was his moment, and now – a problem! Cy: Gan edrych dros Eira, nad oedd hyd yma wedi gweld, dechreuodd meddwl, a yw’n gyfaddef neu’n datrys? En: Looking over at Eira, who hadn't noticed yet, he started to wonder, should he confess or solve it? Cy: Gyda chalon dewr, Gareth penderfynodd ymdrechu dros ei gariad. En: With a brave heart, Gareth decided to endeavor for his love. Cy: Heb feddwl ddwywaith, neidiodd i'r pwll. En: Without thinking twice, he jumped into the pond. Cy: Roedd dŵr oer fel sioc, a'r bobl yn dechrau heidio o gwmpas. En: The cold water was a shock, and people began crowding around. Cy: Roedd Eira, yn syn, ond wedyn yn gwenu, gan weld penderfyniad Gareth. En: Eira, surprised at first, then smiled, seeing Gareth's determination. Cy: Plymiodd, wrth chwilio trwy'r wyneb symudliw o ddŵr a'r koi hyfryd yn pelliwio o gwmpas. En: He dived, searching through the shimmering surface of water and the lovely koi swimming around. Cy: Dyma fo, y fodrwy - yn disgleirio fel seren. En: There it was, the ring—shining like a star. Cy: Roedd Gareth yn deimlo dŵr trwy ei heligaeth ddillad, ond bodlonrwydd yn llenwi'i galon. En: Gareth felt water through his soaked clothes, but satisfaction filled his heart. Cy: "Dwi'n gwybod nad oedd hyn yn berffaith..." dechreuodd Gareth, ei lais yn crynu, ond roedd Eira eisoes yn chwerthin, yr hapusrwydd yn hedfan o'i llygaid. En: "I know this wasn't perfect..." Gareth began, his voice trembling, but Eira was already laughing, happiness radiating from her eyes. Cy: "Mae'n berffaith, Gareth," meddai Eira, gan roi'i llaw i'w law fo. En: "It's perfect, Gareth," said Eira, reaching out her hand to his. Cy: A'i gesglud o'r dŵr, roedd Gareth yn gwybod bod niw y rhwystredigaethau'n gwneud y foment yn gofiadwy.

En: Emrys and Carys, brother and sister, had worked there over the years since the end of their father. Cy: Ond heddiw, roedd rhywbeth anarferol wedi digwydd. En: But today, something unusual had happened. Cy: Yn y bore, wrth i Emrys glirio blwch llyfrau hen a erledig o'r oriel ieuengaf, cafodd lythyrau wedi’u lapio mewn rhuban o liw gwin cyfoethog. En: In the morning, as Emrys cleared a box of old and hunted books from the youngest gallery, he found letters wrapped in a ribbon of rich wine color. Cy: "Carys, edrych ar hwn!" ebe Emrys, ei lais yn ysgytiog rhwng sioc a chwilfrydedd. En: "Carys, look at this!" said Emrys, his voice shaky between shock and curiosity. Cy: Daeth Carys ymlaen, ei llygaid yn ymestyn. En: Carys came forward, her eyes widening. Cy: "Llythyrau? O ble?" Ei dannedd yn fflachio mewn gwên frwdfrydig. En: "Letters? From where?" Her teeth flashed in an enthusiastic grin. Cy: "Mae'n siŵr bod marciau arnynt... Mmm, edrych!" En: "There must be marks on them... Mmm, look!" Cy: Roedd y llythyrau wedi'u hysgrifennu mewn llaw ysgrifen dirgel, yn trafod dirwriaethau teuluol ac anturiaethau a oedd yn ymddangos yn anghyfarwydd iddynt. En: The letters were written in a mysterious handwriting, discussing family intricacies and adventures that seemed unfamiliar to them. Cy: Emrys, priod â rhesymeg crafog, ysgwyd ei ben. En: Emrys, married to razor-sharp logic, shook his head. Cy: "Mae'n rhaid bod hen straeon ydy'r rhain." En: "These must be old stories." Cy: Ond roedd Carys, nug enaid wiwer, yn fentro i'r dirgelion hynny, ymestyn llaw i annog ei brawd. En: But Carys, a squirrel's soul, ventured into those mysteries, reaching out to urge her brother.

En: In the bustling city of Caerdydd, there was a hidden coffee roaster with a warm, slow vibe and the aroma of fresh coffee in the corner. Cy: Roedd ychydig o sinistr yn llenwi'r awyr wrth i'r hydref gau, a'r dail yn chwifio ar hyd y strydoedd. En: A bit of eeriness filled the air as autumn closed in, and the leaves fluttered along the streets. Cy: Roedd Gethin yn fiarista chwilfrydig. En: Gethin was a curious barista. Cy: Roedd llygad barcud, a bob amser yn chwilio am rywbeth newydd i'w ddarganfod. En: He had a hawk's eye and was always searching for something new to discover. Cy: Yn nhywyllwch yr hydref hwn, roedd ei feddwl yn llawn syniadau am nofel cyffrous. En: In the darkness of this autumn, his mind was full of ideas for an exciting novel. Cy: Un diwrnod roedd yn clywed sŵn rhyfedd yn dod o'r ystafell sydd bob amser wedi bod dan glo. En: One day, he heard a strange noise coming from the room that had always been locked. Cy: Roedd hyn yn digwydd bob nos, a phob tro, roedd yr ystafell honno'n rhywbeth o dirgelwch. En: This happened every night, and each time, that room was something of a mystery. Cy: “Pwy sy'n gwneud y sŵn? En: "Who is making the noise?" Cy: ” gofynnodd Gethin iddo’i hun. En: Gethin asked himself. Cy: Ond roedd Caradoc, y perchennog, bob amser yn rhybuddio Gethin i gadw draw. En: But Caradoc, the owner, always warned Gethin to stay away. Cy: “Peidiwch â phoeni am yr ystafell honno,” roedd Caradoc yn dweud. En: "Don't worry about that room," Caradoc would say. Cy: “Mae'n gyfrinachol iawn. En: "It's very confidential." Cy: ” Roedd Caradoc yn ddirgel, ac nid oedd yn gadael neb mewn. En: Caradoc was mysterious, and he let no one in. Cy: Rhian, cyd-fyarista Gethin, oedd y llais rheswm yn y caffi. En: Rhian, Gethin's fellow barista, was the voice of reason in the café. Cy: “Paid â thrio'n galed, Gethin. En: "Don't try too hard, Gethin. Cy: Dim ond stori yw e,” roedd Rhian yn annog. En: It's just a story," Rhian encouraged. Cy: Ond ar noson Calan Gaeaf, roedd penderfyniad Gethin yn gadarn. En: But on Halloween night, Gethin's resolve was firm. Cy: Roedd yn aros yn dawel wrth i'r caffi gau a chadw yn dawel wrth i'r oriau llithro heibio. En: He remained quiet as the café closed and stayed silent as the hours slipped by. Cy: Roedd y darluniadau o flodau rhyfedd yn chwalu'r ystafell, gan ddarparu îsbryd honeddfydd ar yr hyn a wynebai o'r diwedd i'w dull ecsentrig go iawn. En: The illustrations of strange flowers adorned the room, providing a vibrant spirit to what he eventually faced with his truly eccentric approach. Cy: Wrth i'r cloc daro hanner nos, llwyddodd Gethin i'w hysgloi nid yn unig ei weledigaeth o orwedd ar draws y cloi wedi mynd — gydag ychydig o ysgogiad drannoeth i'w ffrind Rhian — ond yna i mewn i ffordd lifflat, ac annisgwyl oedd bai yn berthyn i'w helaeth. En: As the clock struck midnight, Gethin managed not only to unlock his vision of sprawling across the lock that had vanished—with a little nudge the next day to his friend Rhian—but then into a smooth and unexpected path belonging to his vast findings. Cy: Yr hyn a ddechreuodd fel twyll yn datgelu goleuni hyfryd a gwyntog oedd dilys. En: What began as a prank revealed a lovely and breezy light that was genuine. Cy: Roedd yn stori nid yn herbyn iddo ef ei hun, ond un beth oedd iddo ddarganfod beth oedd ystyr darganfyddiad gwirion anogaeth. En: It was a story not against himself, but rather one where he discovered what the true meaning of discovery and odd encouragement was. Cy: Y tu mewn i'r ystafell, roedd Caradoc a Rhian wedi addurno'r cwt gyda golygfa accwstant. En: Inside the room, Caradoc and Rhian had decorated the shed with an astonishing scene. Cy: Addursyn gyda phrawf y gosodiad a llachar, ffigyrau calan Gaeaf lliol oedd eu bwriad. En: Decorated with displays of setup and bright, colorful Halloween figures was their intention. Cy: Roeddent wedi paratoi prank ysbrydol i Gethin, herio'r cyfateb hynny wedi ei gyflawni. En: They had prepared a spiritual prank for Gethin, challenging the correspondence that had been achieved. Cy: Roedd Caradoc a Rhian wedi creu prank arbennig ar gyfer Gethin. En: Caradoc and Rhian had created a special prank for Gethin. Cy: Roeddent am weld ei adwaith ac gyda'r addurniadau mawr, digwydd diwrnod o hwyl. En: They wanted to see his reaction, and with the grand decorations, a day of fun happened. Cy: Fe wnaeth y diwrnod hwn agor llygaid Gethin i wneud hynny. En: This day opened Gethin's eyes to embrace it. Cy: Cawsai ysbrydoliaeth o'r jôc hon, sylweddoli gwerth dychymyg ac ysbryd cymdeithasol. En: He drew inspiration from this joke, realizing the value of imagination and social spirit. Cy: Roedd yn barod iawn, eto, i ysgrifennu ei nofel gyda safbwynt newydd erbyn diwedd. En: He was more than ready to write his novel with a new perspective by the end. Cy: Roedd dydd sinistr Calan Gaeaf wedi troi'n ddiwrnod o gyfeillgarwch a ffantasi. En: The sinister Halloween day had turned into one of friendship and fantasy.

En: In the remarkable landscape of the Bannau Brycheiniog, where the sky stretches over the hills like velvet, there is a writing retreat hidden within a knot of autumnal colors. Cy: Mae'r dail yn trymio o dan eu coch a'u aur, a'r gwynt yn troi safnau coed yn gerddoriaeth amber. En: The leaves shimmer under their red and gold, and the wind turns tree branches into amber music.

En: There, among the trees that encourage spiritual whispers, Gwilym and Rhiannon have gathered for the writing workshop.

En: Rhiannon opens her heart, "Fear is a companion with every writer. Cy: Roeddwn i hefyd yn poeni fy mod wedi colli fy lleisiau newydd. En: I too worried that I had lost my new voices. Cy: Ond trwy dy siarad â thi, dwi’n canfod bod ein perthynas ein hunain yn rhes o sioeau diddordeb. En: But through talking to you, I find that our relationship itself is a series of interesting performances." Cy: "Gannod undonog yw'r geiriau'n dechrau dawnsio ar y tudalen, ei annog i’w dychymyg ymhelaethu. En: Words that began as monotonous soon start to dance on the page, encouraging his imagination to expand. Cy: Gydag olau'r tan i westeio eu meddyliau, mae Gwilym yn ysgrifennu stori newydd, un mae’n ymroddi iddo’n angerddol am y tro cyntaf.

About

Are you ready to supercharge your Welsh 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 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? Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in regions where Welsh is primarily spoken, such as Wales and some parts of England. 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 Welsh listening comprehension. Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Gwella'r gallu i wrando drwy ein straeon Cymraeg heddiw!
