Are you ready to supercharge your Latvian 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 Latvian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Latvian 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 Sigulda, Riga, or Jurmala? Maybe you want to speak Latvian with your grandparents from Liepaja?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Latvia, the heartland where Latvian is primarily spoken. 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 Latvian listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Lv: Rīgas iepirkšanās centrs bija pilns ar cilvēkiem, kas vilkās pa veikaliem, baudīja rudens vēsumu un meklēja labākos piedāvājumus.
En: The Rīgas shopping center was full of people shuffling through stores, enjoying the autumn chill, and hunting for the best deals.

Lv: Skolu ikgadējais labdarības pasākums notika tieši ieejā, kur elpa kļuva par dūmaku no karstiem kastaņiem, kas tika pārdoti pie stenda.
En: The school's annual charity event was taking place right at the entrance, where the air became a haze from the hot chestnuts being sold at the stall.

Lv: Pie stenda izcēlās koši karogi un plakāti, pievilinot ziņkārīgos acis.
En: Bright flags and posters stood out at the stall, attracting curious eyes.

Lv: Ilze, kas bija atbildīga par šo pasākumu, stāvēja pie stenda, pārskatot nošu lapas un cenšoties nomierināt nervus.
En: Ilze, who was responsible for the event, stood by the stall, reviewing sheet music and trying to calm her nerves.

Lv: Viņa zināja, cik svarīgs šis pasākums bija, lai savāktu naudu skolēnu izbraucienam.
En: She knew how important this event was to raise money for the students' outing.

Lv: Bet viņas bažas pieauga, jo gara slīdošo cilvēku straume pāriēja stendam neuzklausot.
En: But her worries grew as the long stream of passersby moved past the stall without stopping.

Lv: Viņa dzirdēja dažus komplimentus, bet pārsvarā paši apmeklētāji devās tālāk.
En: She heard a few compliments, but most visitors continued on their way.

Lv: Andris, jaunpienācējs skolā, stāvēja maliņā, vērojot.
En: Andris, a newcomer to the school, stood on the sidelines, observing.

Lv: Viņš vēl tik ļoti nepiedzīvoja pie jauniem klasesbiedriem, bet viņš juta, ka spētu palīdzēt.
En: He hadn't yet become familiar with his new classmates, but he felt he could help.

Lv: Viņš bija labi pārzinis sociālos medijus un zināja, kā pievērst cilvēku uzmanību, kaut arī bija mazs drusciņ kautrīgs.
En: He was well-versed in social media and knew how to grab people's attention, even though he was a bit shy.

Lv: Redzot, cik satraukta izskatījās Ilze, viņš saņēmās un gāja runāt ar viņu.
En: Seeing how anxious Ilze looked, he mustered the courage to approach her.

Lv: "Ilze, es varu palīdzēt.
En: "Ilze, I can help.

Lv: Es varētu uztaisīt kampaņu internetā," viņš piedāvāja ar cerībām acīs.
En: I could start an online campaign," he offered hopefully.

Lv: Ilzei nebija daudz laika domāt.
En: Ilze didn't have much time to think.

Lv: Viņa dziļi ieelpoja un nolēma uzticēties Andrim.
En: She took a deep breath and decided to trust Andris.

Lv: "Labi, dari, ko vari," viņa teica, smaidot un cenšoties izrādīt pārliecību.
En: "Alright, do what you can," she said, smiling and trying to show confidence.

Lv: Andris ātrumā sāka ar sociālo mediju kampaņu, aizraujošā vizuāļā, vienkāršos teikumos aicinot cilvēkus nākt un atbalstīt.
En: Andris quickly set up a social media campaign with engaging visuals and simple sentences inviting people to come and support.

Lv: Viņa kreatīva pieeja izgāja internetā un ātri pieauga interesi.
En: His creative approach went online, swiftly raising interest.

Lv: Tviters un Instagram bija pilni ar viņa veidotiem aicinājumiem, un daudzi Rīgas jaunieši sāka dalīties ar ziņojumiem, vēršot uzmanību tepat notiekošajam pasākumam.
En: Twitter and Instagram were filled with his calls to...
