Are you ready to supercharge your Slovak 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 Slovak, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Slovak 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 Bratislava, Košice, or High Tatras? Maybe you want to speak Slovak with your grandparents from Banská Bystrica?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Slovakia, the heartland where the Slovak language is primarily spoken. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,

Story Transcript:

Sk: Kubínska hoľa bola pokrytá bielym snehom, leskla sa v zimnom slnku.
En: The Kubínska hoľa was covered in white snow, glistening in the winter sun.

Sk: Všetko vyzeralo ako z rozprávky.
En: Everything looked like a fairy tale.

Sk: Bol Silvester a v stredisku sa konala veľká oslava.
En: It was New Year's Eve, and a big celebration was taking place at the resort.

Sk: Lúče svetiel osvetľovali zábavný zástup, ktorý sa chystal na lyžiarsky sprievod.
En: The beams of light illuminated the festive crowd getting ready for the skiing parade.

Sk: Všade stáli stánky s horúcim čajom a vareným vínom.
En: Stalls with hot tea and mulled wine stood everywhere.

Sk: Dav napäte čakal na predstavenie.
En: The crowd eagerly awaited the show.

Sk: Jozef stál za kulisami a obliekal si kostým.
En: Jozef stood backstage, putting on his costume.

Sk: Čekal na svoj čas, kedy mal vystúpiť s vtipným tancom ako snežný muž – yeti.
En: He was waiting for his moment to step out with a funny dance as a snowman – a yeti.

Sk: Oblek bol príjemný a furry, a Jozef sa v ňom cítil trochu hlúpo, ale vedel, že musí zaujať Miloslavu.
En: The suit was cozy and furry, and Jozef felt a bit silly in it, but he knew he had to impress Miloslava.

Sk: Tá stále niečo organizovala a vedela perfektne zvládnuť akúkoľvek situáciu.
En: She was always organizing something and could handle any situation perfectly.

Sk: Pre Jozefa bola obdivuhodná a veľmi krásna.
En: To Jozef, she was admirable and very beautiful.

Sk: Vedel, že jej chce ukázať, že má odvahu a humor.
En: He knew he wanted to show her that he had courage and humor.

Sk: Avšak, stalo sa niečo neočakávané.
En: However, something unexpected happened.

Sk: Jozef sa ocitol v zlej časti zákulisia a omylom vkročil do sprievodu skôr, než mal.
En: Jozef found himself in the wrong part of backstage and accidentally stepped into the parade earlier than he was supposed to.

Sk: Ruch okolo ho pohltil a nemohol sa vrátiť späť.
En: The bustle around him engulfed him, and he couldn’t go back.

Sk: Na tvári mu bola horúčava, ale nemohol si sňuť masku.
En: He felt a flush on his face but couldn't take off the mask.

Sk: Rozhodol sa, že všetko zahraje na veselý žart.
En: He decided to play it off as a cheerful jape.

Sk: Ako prechádzal pomedzi divákov, začal tancovať.
En: As he passed among the viewers, he started dancing.

Sk: Ruky mal rozpažené, nohami veselo klopkal do rytmu hudby.
En: His arms spread wide, and his feet cheerfully tapped to the rhythm of the music.

Sk: Na chvíľu zavládlo ticho, ale potom sa ozval smiech a potlesk.
En: For a moment, there was silence, but then laughter and applause erupted.

Sk: Jozef si oddýchol.
En: Jozef was relieved.

Sk: Potešenie z úsmevov a kriku divákov ho povzbudilo.
En: The joy from the smiles and cheers of the crowd encouraged him.

Sk: No, najdôležitejšie, Miloslava stála na kopci a smiala sa.
En: Most importantly, Miloslava stood on the hill, laughing.

Sk: Jej smiech bol melodický ako zvončeky.
En: Her laughter was as melodic as bells.

Sk: Sprievod dosiahol vrchol svojho programu.
En: The parade reached the peak of its program.

Sk: Jozef prekvapene zistil, že jeho tanečná vložka sa stala vrcholom večera.
En: Jozef was surprised...
