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: Matej je hodil po ozki poti proti občinskemu domu.
En: Matej was walking along the narrow path toward the municipal building.

Sl: Jesenski veter mu je mršil lase.
En: The autumn wind tousled his hair.

Sl: Zrak je bil hladen, a čist.
En: The air was cold but clear.

Sl: Listi na tleh so šelesteli ob njegovih stopinjah, obarvani v zlato in rdeče.
En: The leaves on the ground rustled under his footsteps, colored in gold and red.

Sl: Bilo je dan volitev in Matej je bil na poti, da odda svoj glas.
En: It was election day, and Matej was on his way to cast his vote.

Sl: Ni bil prepričan, če ima njegov glas kaj pomena, če bo res prispeval k spremembi.
En: He wasn't sure if his vote mattered, if it would really contribute to change.

Sl: Pred občinskim domom je opazil sorodno dušo.
En: In front of the municipal building, he noticed a kindred spirit.

Sl: Katjo, staro prijateljico, ki je stala ob vhodu, je prepoznal po njenem toplem nasmehu.
En: Katja, an old friend, whom he recognized by her warm smile, was standing at the entrance.

Sl: "Matej!
En: "Matej!"

Sl: " je veselo zaklicala.
En: she called out cheerfully.

Sl: "Katja, kako lepo te videti!
En: "Katja, how nice to see you!"

Sl: " se je razveselil.
En: he exclaimed happily.

Sl: Oba sta bila vesela srečanja.
En: Both were delighted to meet.

Sl: Pogovarjala sta se nekaj trenutkov, ko sta stopila v notranjost.
En: They chatted for a few moments as they stepped inside.

Sl: Prostor za glasovanje je bil majhen, a lepo urejen.
En: The voting space was small but nicely arranged.

Sl: Na stenah so bile slike jesenskih pokrajin, ki so odražale tiho razpoloženje dneva.
En: On the walls, there were pictures of autumn landscapes, reflecting the day's quiet mood.

Sl: Ljudje so v miru prihajali in odhajali.
En: People came and went peacefully.

Sl: "Včasih se sprašujem, če ima moj glas sploh kaj vrednosti," je namignil Matej, malo razmišljujoč.
En: "Sometimes I wonder if my vote has any value at all," Matej hinted, pondering a bit.

Sl: Katja je rahlo nagnila glavo.
En: Katja slightly tilted her head.

Sl: "Kaj pa če pomisliš drugače?
En: "What if you think of it differently?

Sl: Naši glasovi so kot listi na teh drevesih.
En: Our votes are like the leaves on these trees.

Sl: Vsak list je del celote in celota tvori čudovit kraj.
En: Each leaf is part of the whole, and together they form a beautiful place."

Sl: "Matej jo je pogledal.
En: Matej looked at her.

Sl: Njene besede so kljub svoji preprostosti imele težo.
En: Her words, despite their simplicity, carried weight.

Sl: "Imava moč, da oblikujeva prihodnost," je nadaljevala Katja.
En: "We have the power to shape the future," Katja continued.

Sl: "Tudi če gre za majhne spremembe, jih skupaj ustvarjamo.
En: "Even if it's about small changes, we create them together.

Sl: Gre za sodelovanje, ne samo za končni rezultat.
En: It's about cooperation, not just the end result."

Sl: "Matej je premišljeval.
En: Matej reflected.

Sl: Spomnil se je, kako je včasih verjel v moč skupnosti, v upanje za boljše.
En: He remembered how he used to believe in the power of community, in hope for better.

Sl: Morda je to, kar je resnično...
