100 méadar ó bheith ina laoch gan bás do Ben Healy, ach tháinig Valentin Paret Peintre leis an mbua ar Mont Ventoux i gCéim 16 de Tour de France 2025. Sa eagrán bonus seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, tá Oisín ar ais ag caint faoin rás agus tugann sé ómós do éacht Ben Healy – duine de na rothaí ba láidre ar cheann de na sléibhte is stairiúla sa Fhrainc. Labhraíonn sé faoi Tadej Pogačar agus a oidhreacht sa spórt – beidh an bua aige san TdF seo (a 4ú ceann) agus is léir anois go mbeidh sé i measc na laochra is mó riamh. Agus ar ndóigh, caitear súil freisin ar chuid de mhórscéalta sheachtain a dó den Tour.

Eagrán bónais atá ann, mar sin níl mórán réamhphleanála ann – rud beag níos spontánaí ná mar is gnách. Bain sult as!

100m from immortality for Ben Healy as he loses out to Valentin Paret Peintre on Mont Ventoux in Stage 16 of the Tour de France 2025. In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín returns to the race and describes Ben Healy's achievement in being one of the strongest men on one of the most famous mountains in France. He discusses Tadej Pogacar's dominance of this race and his history - how he will go down as one of the sport's greats. He generally goes over some of the stories of week 2 of the Tour.

This is a bonus episode, so there was little planning, and it was a bit off the cuff compared to standard episodes. Enjoy it.

Sa eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, bíonn comhrá deas ag Oisín le Naoise Crowley faoina shaol i Lucsamburg, ag imirt peile agus iomána ar an mór-roinn, agus gach cineál rudaí a bhaineann le saol thar lear. Is Corcaíoch é Naoise – as Carraig Dhubh. Bhí sé ina chónaí sa Fhrainc chomh maith le Lucsamburg - nuair a bhí sé ar Erasmus - agus bogfaidh sé go Brugge sa Bheilg go luath.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín chats with Naoise Crowley about his life in Luxembourg, playing Gaelic football and hurling on the continent, and all sorts of things related to living abroad. Naoise is a Corkonian from Blackrock - a Rockie! He has lived in France and Luxembourg and will soon be moving to Bruges, Belgium.

Tá Gael sa léine bhuí – Ben Healy agus an maillot jaune!

Tá Ben Healy anois ar an gceathrú rothaí Éireannach riamh a chaith an léine bhuí sa Tour de France, i measc laochra cosúil le Seán Kelly, Stephen Roche agus Shay Elliott. Tá 10 gcéim críochnaithe agus is seachtain iontach atá caite againn i dTour na bliana 2025.

Bhí sé ar intinn agam podchraoladh a dhéanamh faoin seachtain san TdF seo ar aon nós – ach nuair a fuair Ben an léine bhuí, ní raibh aon dabht orm go gcaithfinn ceann a thaifeadadh. Tá an eagrán seo beagáinín níos saor ó thaobh struchtúir de – gan script ná nótaí – agus bím ag caint faoi cad atá tarlaithe go dtí seo agus cad atá romhainn an tseachtain seo chugainn.

Bain sult as an turas!

There’s an Irishman in yellow – Ben Healy takes the maillot jaune!

Ben Healy has become only the fourth Irish cyclist ever to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, joining legends like Seán Kelly, Stephen Roche, and Shay Elliott. With 10 stages behind us, it’s been a thrilling first week of the 2025 Tour.

I had already been thinking about doing a podcast on this year’s race - but once Ben took yellow, I knew I had to hit record. This episode is a more free-flowing one, recorded without a script or notes. I chat about what’s been happening so far and what to expect in the coming week.

Hope you enjoy the ride!

San eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, roinneann Oisín cuid de na buntáistí gan choinne a fuair sé ó bheith ag foghlaim Ollainnise. Cén fáth foghlaim teanga mura mbeidh tú riamh chomh líofa inti leis an duine eile i mBéarla? An bhfuil fiú an teanga sin úsáideach duit? Nach mbeadh an tSínis/Fraincís/Spainnis i bhfad níos úsáideach? Sa chlár seo, déanaimid iniúchadh ar na dúshláin agus na pléisiúir a bhaineann le foghlaim teanga nua. Má tá tú riamh in ísle brí agus ag streachailt agus tú ag foghlaim teanga, b’fhéidir go spreagfaidh an clár seo thú chun leanúint ar aghaidh.

Seo an leagan dhátheangach - Gaeilge-Béarla.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín shares some unexpected benefits he’s experienced from learning Dutch. Why learn a language when you’ll never speak it as well as the other person speaks English? What’s the point in learning it? Wouldn’t Chinese/Spannish/French/Russian etc. be more useful? (Often what we hear about how "pointless" it is to learn Irish). In this episode, we explore both the challenges and the joys of learning a new language. If you’ve ever struggled with language learning, this might just give you some motivation to keep going.

This podcast is bilingual - English-Irish.

Sa eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, labhraíonn Oisín faoi cé acu an bhfuil gá le Gearmáinis chun cónaí sa Ghearmáin (nuair a labhraíonn siad ar fad Béarla ar aon nós... nó an labhraíonn?), cad é stádas an Bhéarla sa Ghearmáin, agus déanann sé comparáid idir caighdeán an teagaisc Bhéarla sa Ghearmáin – agus an é sin an fáth a labhraíonn Gearmánaigh Béarla chomh maith sin. Déanann sé comparáid leis an gcaoi a múintear an Ghaeilge in Éirinn.

Is é seo an leagan dátheangach Gaeilge-Béarla.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín talks about whether you need German to live in Germany (when they all speak English anyway... or do they?), what is the status of English in Germany, and he compares whether the standard of teaching of English in Germany is the secret as to why Germans speak such excellent English. He compares that to how Irish is taught in Ireland.

This is the bilingual Irish-English version.

Sa eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, labhraíonn Oisín faoi cheist na Gearmáinise sa Ghearmáin — an bhfuil sí riachtanach le bheith i do chónaí ansin (nuair a deirtear go labhraíonn gach duine Béarla... ach an fíor sin i ndáiríre?). Pléann sé stádas an Bhéarla sa Ghearmáin, agus na buntáistí a bhaineann le teanga nua a fhoghlaim — Ollainnis ina chás féin — fiú má tá a fhios agat go mbeidh lucht labhartha na teanga sin i gcónaí in ann Béarla níos fearr a fhoghlaim ná mar is féidir leat Ollainnis.

Seo é an leagan Gaeilge líofa.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín talks about whether you need German to live in Germany (when they all speak English anyway... or do they?), what is the status of English in Germany, and the benefits of learning a language - in his case, Dutch - even if you know the speakers of that language will always be able to learn better English than you can Dutch.

San eagrán bónais seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, labhraíonn Oisín faoin tábhacht a bhaineann le rith ina shaol, conas a tháinig an nós rith isteach ina shaol, agus faoin gcaoi ar chríochnaigh sé Maratón Chathair Chorcaí an deireadh seachtaine seo caite. Ní bhaineann an clár seo le saol thar lear agus mar sin is eagrán saghas bónais é do dhaoine ar mhaith leo níos mó Gaeilge a chloisteáil ina saol laethúil. Beidh na heachtraí rialta ar fáil ar an Luan ag a 4 a chlog.

In this bonus episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín talks about how important running is in his life, how running became a habit in his life and how he completed the Cork City Marathon last weekend.

Regular episodes will be out on Mondays at 4pm - as often as I can manage them.
