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: Topli vonj kave se je mešal z zmernim vrvežem zimskih ulic Ljubljane.
En: The warm scent of coffee mingled with the moderate hustle and bustle of the winter streets of Ljubljana.

Sl: Sneg je mehko padal ob velikih oknih kavarne, ki je bila kot zavetje pred hladom zimske Ljubljane.
En: Snow gently fell outside the large windows of the café, which served as a shelter from the cold of winter in Ljubljana.

Sl: V tem prijetnem okolju je Matej, mlad, zvest, a včasih preveč impulziven, sedel nasproti svojemu najboljšemu prijatelju Jakobu.
En: In this cozy setting, Matej, young, loyal, but sometimes too impulsive, sat across from his best friend Jakob.

Sl: Jakob je bil sicer očarljiv in inteligenten, a skrivoma manipulativnim.
En: Jakob was charming and intelligent, yet secretly manipulative.

Sl: Med njima je ležalo nekaj neizrečenega, težko kot zimski plašč, ki ga je Matej nosil.
En: Between them lay something unspoken, heavy as the winter coat Matej wore.

Sl: Matej je globoko vdihnil in v zraku je bilo čutiti napetost.
En: Matej took a deep breath, and tension was palpable in the air.

Sl: "Zakaj, Jakob? Zakaj si to storil?" je vprašal, njegov glas je bil mešanica razočaranja in obupa.
En: "Why, Jakob? Why did you do it?" he asked, his voice a mix of disappointment and despair.

Sl: Jakob je odmaknil pogled, njegove oči so iskale izhod iz te zadušljive situacije.
En: Jakob averted his gaze, his eyes searching for an escape from the stifling situation.

Sl: "Nisem jaz kriv, Matej. Saj veš, kako je bilo. Nisem imel izbire."
En: "It's not my fault, Matej. You know how it was. I had no choice."

Sl: Matejeve oči so se zožile.
En: Matej's eyes narrowed.

Sl: "Vsak ima izbiro. Izbiraš med nami in med tem, kar si naredil."
En: "Everyone has a choice. You choose between us and what you did."

Sl: Ana, prijazna natakarica, ki je že mesece poznala oba, je stala ob pultu, srce ji je vznemirjeno utripalo.
En: Ana, a kind waitress who had known them both for months, stood by the counter, her heart beating anxiously.

Sl: Ni hotela izbrati strani, a videla je bolečino v Matejevih očeh.
En: She didn't want to take sides, but she saw the pain in Matej's eyes.

Sl: "Fantje," je začela, njen glas je bil tih, a odločen.
En: "Boys," she began, her voice soft but resolute.

Sl: "Morda... morda ni pravi trenutek za prepir.
En: "Maybe... maybe it's not the right time for a quarrel.

Sl: Poglejta, oba vaju poznam in oba sta mi mar."
En: Look, I know you both, and I care for both of you."

Sl: Matej je pogledal Ano, v njegovih očeh je bila iskra priznanja, vendar ni bil pripravljen odnehati.
En: Matej looked at Ana, a spark of acknowledgment in his eyes, but he wasn't ready to give up.

Sl: "Ana, moral bi vedeti resnico," je rekel.
En: "Ana, I should know the truth," he said.

Sl: V teh nekaj trenutkih tišine, ki so sledila, je bilo slišati le tiktakanje ure, in glasove drugih gostov, ki so v ozadju pomenkovali.
En: In those moments of silence that followed, there was only the ticking of the clock and the voices of other guests conversing in the background.

Sl: "Matej," je Ana zbrala pogum in stopila bližje.
En: "Matej," Ana gathered her courage and stepped closer.

Sl: "Morda bi moral vedeti, da Jakob ni bil edini vpleten v to zadevo.
En: "You should know that Jakob wasn't the...
