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: Mateja je stala na robu propadle Ljubjane.
En: Mateja stood on the edge of a fallen Ljubjana.

Sl: Jesenski veter ji je mršil lase.
En: The autumn wind tousled her hair.

Sl: Listje je bilo povsod, rdeče in rumeno, pokrivalo je opustele ulice.
En: Leaves were everywhere, red and yellow, covering the desolate streets.

Sl: Pred njo razpadli zidovi, ki so nekoč bili lepi domovi in trgovine, zdaj tihi spomeniki preteklosti.
En: Before her were crumbling walls that were once beautiful homes and stores, now silent monuments of the past.

Sl: Ta kraj je bil nekoč živahen, zdaj pa je bil le senca svojega nekdanjega sijaja.
En: This place was once vibrant, but now it was just a shadow of its former glory.

Sl: Tukaj je nazadnje videla svojega brata, Tomaža.
En: It was here that she last saw her brother, Tomaž.

Sl: Mateja se je spomnila njunega zadnjega prepira.
En: Mateja remembered their last argument.

Sl: Ko so besede padale, ni mislila, da ga bo izgubila.
En: When words were exchanged, she didn't think she would lose him.

Sl: Zdaj jo je gnala krivda.
En: Now, guilt drove her.

Sl: Morala ga je najti.
En: She had to find him.

Sl: S seboj ni imela veliko – nož, zemljevid in majhen nahrbtnik z nekaj zalogami.
En: She didn't have much with her—a knife, a map, and a small backpack with some supplies.

Sl: Njena volja je bila močna.
En: Her resolve was strong.

Sl: Ni vedela, kakšne nevarnosti jo čakajo, a vedela je, da mora naprej.
En: She didn't know what dangers awaited her, but she knew she had to move forward.

Sl: Počasi se je premikala skozi porušene zgradbe.
En: She moved slowly through the ruined buildings.

Sl: Zvok oblik odjekne iz daljave.
En: The sound of shapes echoed from afar.

Sl: Scavengerji, plenilci, pred katerimi so jo svarili.
En: Scavengers, predators they had warned her about.

Sl: Mateja se je skrila za kosom betona in strmela v pepelnato nebo, medtem ko so se glasovi oddaljili.
En: Mateja hid behind a piece of concrete and stared at the ashen sky while the voices faded.

Sl: Njeno srce je divje bilo.
En: Her heart was pounding fiercely.

Sl: Vedela je, da ni veliko časa.
En: She knew there wasn't much time.

Sl: Želela je priti na drugo stran, kjer je bil Tomaž nazadnje viden.
En: She wanted to get to the other side where Tomaž was last seen.

Sl: Ko je prišla do zgradbe, o kateri so ji povedali znanci, je bilo že prepozno popoldne.
En: When she reached the building her acquaintances had told her about, it was already late in the afternoon.

Sl: Sonce se je spustilo in jesen se je preobrazila v hladno večer.
En: The sun had set and autumn had transformed into a cold evening.

Sl: Pred zgradbo so postavali plenilci.
En: In front of the building, scavengers loitered.

Sl: Odločena, Mateja se je premaknila naprej.
En: Determined, Mateja moved forward.

Sl: Peščica listov je zašumel pod njenimi nogami.
En: A small rustle of leaves sounded beneath her feet.

Sl: Prignala se je do stranskega vhoda.
En: She darted to the side entrance.

Sl: Tu je morala biti hitra.
En: Here, she had to be quick.

Sl: Vstopila je v temno zgradbo.
En: She entered the dark building.

Sl: Notranjost je bila mračna in tiha, kot bi bila...
