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: Jesenska meglica je plazila nad blejskim jezerom, medtem ko so se listi barvali v odtenkih zlata in oranžne.
En: The autumn mist crept over Bled Lake, while the leaves were painted in shades of gold and orange.

Sl: Matej in Anja sta sedela na klopci ob obali, shranjeni pod mogočen grad, ki je tiho bedel nad pokrajino.
En: Matej and Anja sat on a bench by the shore, sheltered under the mighty castle that quietly watched over the landscape.

Sl: Valovi so se nežno zaletavali v obalo, medtem ko so oblaki plavali po nebu kot velike bele ladje.
En: Waves gently crashed against the shore as clouds floated across the sky like large white ships.

Sl: »Anja, moramo se pogovoriti,« je začel Matej, njegov glas je bil resen, a v očeh je bila žalost.
En: "Anja, we need to talk," Matej began, his voice serious, but there was sadness in his eyes.

Sl: Anja je vdihnila svež zrak in pogledala brata.
En: Anja inhaled the fresh air and looked at her brother.

Sl: »O čem?
En: "About what?"

Sl: «»Naši starši postajajo starejši,« je nadaljeval.
En: "Our parents are getting older," he continued.

Sl: »Potrebujemo tvojo pomoč.
En: "We need your help.

Sl: Čas je, da prevzameš nekaj odgovornosti.
En: It's time for you to take on some responsibilities."

Sl: «Anja je zavzdihnila.
En: Anja sighed.

Sl: »Matej, imam svoje sanje.
En: "Matej, I have my dreams.

Sl: Želim biti umetnica.
En: I want to be an artist.

Sl: Nočem, da me družina zadržuje.
En: I don't want to be held back by family."

Sl: «Matej je stisnil pesti.
En: Matej clenched his fists.

Sl: »Ne gre se samo zate!
En: "It's not just about you!

Sl: Če ne bomo pomagali, kdo bo?
En: If we don't help, who will?"

Sl: «Anja se je obrnila proti jezeru, njene misli so bile kot majhni čolni na nemirni vodi.
En: Anja turned towards the lake, her thoughts like small boats on turbulent water.

Sl: »Razumeš, da tudi jaz želim nekaj doseči v življenju?
En: "Do you understand that I also want to achieve something in life?"

Sl: «»Ampak, ali je to res pomembneje od naše družine?
En: "But is that really more important than our family?"

Sl: « Matej se je boril, da bi zadržal čustva.
En: Matej struggled to hold back his emotions.

Sl: Prisoten molk je prekinil zvok labodov, ki so nežno plavali po površini vode.
En: The present silence was broken by the sound of swans gently gliding across the water's surface.

Sl: Oči so se sestrino-strmo srečale znova in se sčasoma zmehčale.
En: The siblings' eyes met again and softened over time.

Sl: »Mogoče midva gledava na te stvari drugače,« je rekla Anja tiho in počasi.
En: "Maybe we see things differently," Anja said quietly and slowly.

Sl: »Ampak mi je mar.
En: "But I care.

Sl: Samo želim, da me razumeš.
En: I just want you to understand me."

Sl: «Matej je globoko vdihnil in prikimal.
En: Matej took a deep breath and nodded.

Sl: »Želim se, da bi našla ravnovesje.
En: "I want us to find balance.

Sl: Mogoče bi lahko poskušala vsaj za nekaj časa.
En: Maybe you could try, at least for a while."

Sl: «»In ti mi lahko pustiš, da enkrat ali dvakrat na teden grem v atelje,« je predlagala Anja sramežljivo.
En: "And you could let me go to the studio once or twice a...
