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: Ob bregu blejskega jezera, ko so se listi dreves barvali v rumeno, oranžno in rdeče, je stal prijeten kavarniški kotiček.
En: By the shore of blejsko jezero, as the leaves of the trees turned yellow, orange, and red, there stood a cozy café corner.

Sl: Kava Bled je bil kraj, kjer so se turisti z veseljem ustavili, da si odpočijejo in uživajo v prelepem razgledu.
En: Kava Bled was a place where tourists gladly stopped to rest and enjoy the beautiful view.

Sl: V notranjosti je vladalo toplo vzdušje, ki ga je dopolnjevala prijazna natakarica Mateja in Andrej, ki je sanjal, da bi postal kuharski mojster.
En: Inside, there was a warm atmosphere, complemented by a friendly waitress, Mateja, and Andrej, who dreamed of becoming a master chef.

Sl: Andrej je delal kot natakar.
En: Andrej worked as a waiter.

Sl: V prostem času pa je poskušal ustvarjati svoje kuharske mojstrovine.
En: In his free time, he tried to create his culinary masterpieces.

Sl: Njegove sanje so bile, da bi kdaj postal kuhar v tej popularni kavarni.
En: His dream was to one day become a chef at this popular café.

Sl: Vendar pa je Andrej dvomil v sebe.
En: However, Andrej doubted himself.

Sl: Nikakor ni našel poguma, da bi lastniku kavarne predstavil svoje jedi.
En: He simply couldn't find the courage to present his dishes to the café owner.

Sl: Mateja je imela drugačne cilje.
En: Mateja had different goals.

Sl: Vsak trenutek, ko je lahko, je varčevala denar z željo, da bi potovala po svetu.
En: Every moment she could, she saved money with the desire to travel the world.

Sl: Sanjala je o krajih daleč stran, vendar je bila vedno pripravljena pomagati svojemu prijatelju Andreju.
En: She dreamed of places far away but was always ready to help her friend Andrej.

Sl: »Andrej, kaj razmišljaš?
En: "Andrej, what are you thinking about?"

Sl: « ga je vprašala Mateja nekega jesenskega jutra, ko je opazila, da je z mislimi nekje drugje.
En: Mateja asked him one autumn morning when she noticed he was lost in thought.

Sl: »Rad bi pokazal lastniku svojo jed,« je priznal Andrej.
En: "I'd like to show the owner my dish," admitted Andrej.

Sl: »Ampak bojim se, da mu ne bo všeč.
En: "But I'm afraid he won't like it."

Sl: «Mateja se nasmehne in reče: »Potrebuješ le malo več zaupanja vase.
En: Mateja smiled and said, "You just need a little more confidence in yourself.

Sl: Zakaj mi ne pokažeš jedi?
En: Why don't you show me the dish?

Sl: Pomagala ti bom.
En: I'll help you."

Sl: «Andrej in Mateja sta začela delati skupaj po koncu delovnika.
En: Andrej and Mateja started working together after their shifts.

Sl: Andrej je na skrivaj pripravljal svojo specialiteto - kremna bučna juha z ingverjem.
En: Andrej secretly prepared his specialty - creamy pumpkin soup with ginger.

Sl: Mateja mu je dala nekaj koristnih nasvetov, kako izboljšati okus in predstavitev.
En: Mateja gave him some useful tips on how to improve the flavor and presentation.

Sl: Ko je končno prišel trenutek, da predstavi svoj krožnik, ni bil več sam.
En: When the moment finally came to present his dish, he was no longer alone.

Sl: Mateja je stala ob njem.
En: Mateja stood by his side.

Sl: Njena podpora mu je vlila pogum.
En: Her support gave him courage.

Sl: Lastnik...
