Are you ready to supercharge your Slovenian 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 Slovenian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Slovenian 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 Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, or Ljubljana Castle? Maybe you want to speak Slovenian with your grandparents from Ljubljana?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background necessary to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere and life of Slovenia, the primary country where Slovenian is fluently 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 Slovenian listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Sl: Meglice so se dvigale nad jezerom Bled in tanko meglo nežno prekrivale čudovit otok s cerkvijo.
En: Mists were rising over jezero Bled and a thin fog gently covered the beautiful island with the church.

Sl: Jesen je obarvala listje okoli jezera v odtenke rdeče, oranžne in rumene.
En: Autumn had colored the leaves around the lake in shades of red, orange, and yellow.

Sl: Mateja, Anže in Klemen so veselo prispeli k obali z načrti za dan, ki si ga bodo zapomnili.
En: Mateja, Anže, and Klemen happily arrived at the shore with plans for a day they would remember.

Sl: "Anže, bodi previden!
En: "Anže, be careful!"

Sl: " je zaklicala Mateja, ko je Anže veselo skočil v čoln, ki so ga najeli.
En: shouted Mateja when Anže cheerfully jumped into the boat they had rented.

Sl: S seboj je imela velik nahrbtnik, poln prigrizkov in potrebščin za vsak primer.
En: She had with her a large backpack full of snacks and necessities just in case.

Sl: Njen izraz skrbi je bil očiten, ko je Anže kot običajno ignoriral opozorila.
En: Her expression of worry was evident as Anže, as usual, ignored the warnings.

Sl: "Ne skrbi, Mateja!
En: "Don't worry, Mateja!"

Sl: " je rekel Anže s smehom.
En: said Anže with laughter.

Sl: "To bo zabavno!
En: "This will be fun!"

Sl: " Klemen, vedno pripravljen na šalo, je že razmišljal, kako bi popestril dan.
En: Klemen, always ready for a joke, was already thinking about how to spice up the day.

Sl: Ko so se odrinili, je Anže zagledal napihljivo raco na obali.
En: As they set off, Anže spotted an inflatable duck on the shore.

Sl: Plavalec, ki ga je pustil, ni vedel, da bo njegova gumijasta račka sprožila divjo dogodivščino.
En: The swimmer who left it there didn't know that their rubber duck would trigger a wild adventure.

Sl: "Čakaj, Anže, kaj delaš?
En: "Wait, Anže, what are you doing?"

Sl: " je vprašala Mateja z razumevajočo zaskrbljenostjo, ko je Anže pričel odvijati vrv, ki je držala račko ob bregu.
En: Mateja asked with understanding concern as Anže began untying the rope that held the duck by the shore.

Sl: "Hej, poglej to!
En: "Hey, look at this!"

Sl: " je rekel Anže in zasmijal se je.
En: said Anže and laughed.

Sl: Klemen je pokazal s prstom.
En: Klemen pointed his finger.

Sl: "Tam gre!
En: "There it goes!"

Sl: " se je zasmejal, ko je račka začela plavati po jezeru.
En: he chuckled as the duck started floating on the lake.

Sl: Oboje sta se zdela pripravljena za akcijo, a Mateja je bila čisto drugače.
En: Both seemed ready for action, but Mateja felt quite different.

Sl: Razbila je svoje načrte za umirjen izlet z vtisom idiličnih utrinkov otoka na jezeru.
En: She broke her plans for a calm trip with the impression of idyllic glimpses of the island on the lake.

Sl: Mateja je hitro prijela za vesla.
En: Mateja quickly grabbed the oars.

Sl: "Dajmo, moramo jo ujeti," je prisegala in začela veslati proti bežeči rački.
En: "Come on, we have to catch it," she insisted and started rowing towards the fleeing duck.

Sl: Valovi so rahlo zibali čoln, ko so se približevali raci.
En: The waves gently rocked the boat as they approached the duck.

Sl: Klemen pa je nenadoma dobil idejo, ki vedno pomeni težave.
En: But Klemen suddenly got an idea, which...
