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: Sneg je pokril Bled in ga spremenil v zimsko pravljico.
En: The snow had covered Bled and transformed it into a winter fairy tale.

Sl: Jezero je bilo mirno, nad njim pa se je vzdigoval zasnežen grad.
En: The lake was calm, and above it rose a snow-covered castle.

Sl: Na sredini jezera je stala otok z majhno cerkvico.
En: In the middle of the lake stood the island with a small church.

Sl: Vse okoliške hiše so bile okrašene s svetlečimi lučkami, ki so sijale v noč.
En: All the surrounding houses were decorated with twinkling lights that shone into the night.

Sl: V tak čarobnem okolju so se pripravljali na šolski zimski projekt.
En: In such a magical setting, they were preparing for the school's winter project.

En: His classmate, Matej, was always the best.

Sl: Vedno je dobil najboljše ocene.

En: "Don't worry, Anže," said Teja.

Sl: "Imava odlično idejo.
En: "We have a great idea.

Sl: Poveživa projekt z Bledom in božičem.
En: Let's connect the project with Bled and Christmas."

Sl: "Anže ni bil prepričan.
En: Anže wasn't sure.

Sl: "Ampak, kako?
En: "But how?"

Sl: ""Najprej," je rekla Teja, "morava raziskati lokalno kulturo.
En: "First," said Teja, "we need to research the local culture.

Sl: Izdelava lahko maketo otoka s cerkvijo in dodava božična drevesa.
En: We can make a model of the island with the church and add Christmas trees.

Sl: Predstaviva lahko zgodbo o Bledskem zvonu.
En: We can present the story of the Bled Bell."

Sl: "Bledski zvon, legenda o zvonu, ki ga vržejo v jezero in pozvonijo željo, je bila znana.
