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,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Slovak listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Sk: Miro stál na okraji lesa v Tatrách.
En: Miro stood at the edge of the forest in the Tatras.

Sk: Vietor mu chladne svišťal okolo uší, zatiaľ čo sa pozeral na farby jesene rozlievajúce sa po krajine.
En: The wind whistled coldly around his ears as he looked at the autumn colors spreading across the landscape.

Sk: Vedľa neho Zuzana listovala v poznámkach, spokojná s ich plánom na dnešný deň.
En: Next to him, Zuzana flipped through her notes, satisfied with their plan for the day.

Sk: Erik, mladý a plný elánu, kládol zvedavé otázky o medveďoch, ktoré mali nasledovať.
En: Erik, young and full of vigor, was asking curious questions about the bears they were to follow.

Sk: „To je on,“ povedal Erik ukážuc prstom na mapu.
En: "That's him," said Erik, pointing at the map.

Sk: „Medveď Ľubo sa pohybuje v tejto oblasti.
En: "Bear Ľubo moves in this area."

Sk: “ Jeho nadšenie bolo hmatateľné.
En: His excitement was palpable.

Sk: Miro však pocítil ťažobu na ramenách, ako keď nosil príliš veľa vybavenia sám.
En: Miro, however, felt a weight on his shoulders, like when he carried too much equipment by himself.

Sk: Musel zozbierať všetky údaje.
En: He needed to gather all the data.

Sk: Dostať dôkazy, že ich práca má zmysel.
En: Get evidence that their work was meaningful.

Sk: Cítil zodpovednosť.
En: He felt responsible.

Sk: Aj keď pochyboval, Zuzana ho vždy povzbudzovala.
En: Even when he doubted, Zuzana always encouraged him.

Sk: „Musíme byť opatrní.
En: "We have to be careful.

Sk: V takom počasí je ľahké stratiť cestu,“ upozornila Zuzana.
En: In this kind of weather, it's easy to lose our way," warned Zuzana.

Sk: Vedela, že podmienky nie sú ideálne.
En: She knew the conditions were not ideal.

Sk: Nepredvídané lejaky zadychčovali les a sťažovali ich výskum.
En: Unforeseen downpours made the forest breathe heavily and complicated their research.

Sk: Ale Miro mal plán.
En: But Miro had a plan.

Sk: „Pôjdeme hlbšie do lesa.
En: "We’ll go deeper into the forest.

Sk: Možno ho predbehneme a nájdeme predtým, ako sa prídu lovci,“ rozhodol Miro.
En: Maybe we can get ahead of him and find him before the hunters do," Miro decided.

Sk: Nebolo to jednoduché rozhodnutie.
En: It wasn't an easy decision.

Sk: Vedel o rizikách, ale taktiež cítil túžbu chrániť zvieratá.
En: He was aware of the risks but also felt the desire to protect the animals.

Sk: Ich výprava sa začala.
En: Their expedition began.

Sk: Miro viedol tím cez husté borovice, pričom sa snažil uchovať pokoj.
En: Miro led the team through thick pines, trying to remain calm.

Sk: Zrazu sa zastavili.
En: Suddenly, they stopped.

Sk: Zuzana prešla prstami po čerstvých stopách.
En: Zuzana traced fresh tracks with her fingers.

Sk: „Tu je,“ povedala s úsmevom.
En: "Here it is," she said with a smile.

Sk: Erik vyzeral fascinovaný.
En: Erik looked fascinated.

Sk: Ale náhle zvuky, vzdialené výstrely, donútili srdcia všetkých rozbúšiť zrýchleným tempom.
En: But sudden sounds, distant gunshots, made all their hearts race.

Sk: Miro sa musel rozhodnúť.
En: Miro had to decide.

Sk: Pokračujeme ďalej, alebo sa chránime?
En: Do we go further, or do we protect ourselves?

Sk:...
