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: Zrak je bil svež, ko so Jure, Mateja in Nina vstopili v Tivoli Park.
En: The air was fresh as Jure, Mateja, and Nina entered Tivoli Park.

Sl: Listje je šuštalo pod nogami kot preproga iz zlata in oranžne barve.
En: The leaves rustled underfoot like a carpet of gold and orange.

Sl: Družina se je odločila preživeti popoldne v parku, ki je bil na Dan spomina na mrtve poln mirnega razmišljanja.
En: The family decided to spend the afternoon in the park, which was full of peaceful reflection on All Saints' Day.

Sl: Jure je hodil počasi, tiho opazujoč okolico.
En: Jure walked slowly, quietly observing the surroundings.

Sl: Njegov pogled se je ustavil na Nini, ki je skakala po poti, polna energije.
En: His gaze stopped on Nina, who was hopping along the path, full of energy.

Sl: Bila je radovedna in želela je vedeti vse o parku, drevesih, življenju.
En: She was curious and wanted to know everything about the park, the trees, life.

Sl: Mateja je hodila poleg, vendar je bila njen um oddaljen v svetu službenih obveznosti, ki so jo težile.
En: Mateja walked beside them, but her mind was distant, occupied by her work obligations that weighed on her.

Sl: "Si OK, Mateja?
En: "Are you OK, Mateja?"

Sl: " jo je vprašal Jure.
En: Jure asked her.

Sl: Ona se je rahlo nasmehnila, a Jure je čutil, da je po mislih daleč stran.
En: She smiled slightly, but Jure felt she was far away in her thoughts.

Sl: "Nina," je rekel Jure in pokleknil k njej, "danes je poseben dan.
En: "Nina," Jure said as he knelt down to her, "today is a special day.

Sl: Spominjamo se naših prednikov.
En: We remember our ancestors."

Sl: " "Prednikov?
En: "Ancestors?"

Sl: " je vprašala Nina, nekoliko zmedeno.
En: Nina asked, somewhat puzzled.

Sl: "Ja, starih staršev, ki jih nisi nikoli spoznala.
En: "Yes, grandparents you never met.

Sl: Želiš slišati zgodbo?
En: Do you want to hear a story?"

Sl: " je vprašal Jure.
En: Jure asked.

Sl: Mateja je prisluhnila, čeprav je pogledovala na telefon.
En: Mateja listened, though she glanced at her phone.

Sl: Jure je sedel na klopico in povabil Nino k sebi.
En: Jure sat on a bench and invited Nina to sit with him.

Sl: "Ko sem bil tvoje starosti, sem z babico in dedkom hodil v ta park," je začel.
En: "When I was your age, I would come to this park with my grandma and grandpa," he began.

Sl: "Babica mi je vedno pripovedovala zgodbe o našem družinskem drevesu.
En: "Grandma always told me stories about our family tree."

Sl: "Nina ga je pozorno poslušala, njene oči so bile široko odprte.
En: Nina listened intently, her eyes wide open.

Sl: "Kaj je družinsko drevo?
En: "What's a family tree?"

Sl: " "To je simbol.
En: "It's a symbol.

Sl: Povezuje nas s preteklostjo.
En: It connects us to the past.

Sl: Tako kot drevesa v tem parku, imamo tudi mi korenine," je razložil Jure.
En: Just like the trees in this park, we have roots too," Jure explained.

Sl: Nina se je namrščila in razmišljala.
En: Nina frowned, thinking.

Sl: "Ali sem jaz del tega drevesa?
En: "Am I part of this tree?"

Sl: ""Seveda," je hitro odgovoril Jure.
En: "Of course," Jure answered quickly.

Sl: "Si posebna veja, ki raste naprej.
En: "You're a...
