À propos de cet audio

 Are you ready to supercharge your Croatian 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 Croatian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Croatian 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 Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes National Park, or Split? Maybe you want to speak Croatian with your grandparents from Zagreb?

Our podcast provides in-depth cultural and linguistic insights, preparing you for full immersion in the regions where Croatian is predominantly spoken, including Croatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina. 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 Croatian listening comprehension.

Prošli tjedan smo se svađali, ali sada smo ovdje."En: "I know you want to talk about us. We argued last week, but now we're here."Hr: Marin je stao ispod drveta.En: Marin stopped under a tree.Hr: Grane su bile gole, kao da slušaju svaku šapat.En: The branches were bare, as if they were listening to every whisper.Hr: "Ivana, volim te.

I want to write, to have peace."Hr: Ivana je uzdahnula.En: Ivana sighed.Hr: "Znam, Marin. Ali moja karijera je ovdje, u Zagrebu. Arhitektura je moj život. Teško je samo otići."En: "I know, Marin. But my career is here, in Zagreb. Architecture is my life. It's hard to just leave."Hr: Marin je posegnuo za njenom rukom.En: Marin reached for her hand.Hr: Njegov dodir bio je hladan, ali srce toplo.En: His touch was cold, but his heart was warm.Hr: "Mogli bismo zajedno izgraditi nešto lijepo na obali. Možda ne kuće, ali život vrijedan priče."En: "We could build something beautiful together on the coast. Maybe not houses, but a life worth telling."Hr: Ivana je razmišljala.En: Ivana pondered.Hr: Snježne pahulje počele su padati, stvarajući tihi ples oko njih.En: Snowflakes began to fall, creating a silent dance around them.Hr: "Znam, ali želim i dalje graditi ovdje. Imam mnogo planova. Ne želim se odreći svoje karijere."En: "I know, but I still want to build here. I have many plans. I don't want to give up my career."Hr: "Čuo sam te," odgovorio je Marin.En: "I heard you," replied Marin.Hr: "Ali moram znati, hoćeš li doći sa mnom? Želim imati obitelj s tobom, oboje možemo imati svoje snove."En: "But I need to know, will you come with me? I want to have a family with you; we can both have our dreams."Hr: Ivana ga je promovila. "Što ako ostanem? Što će biti s nama?"En: Ivana asked him, "What if I stay? What will happen to us?"Hr: Marinov izraz lica bio je tužan.En: Marin's expression was sad.Hr: "Otići ću za šest mjeseci. Ako ne dođeš, razumjet ću. Ali moram pokušati."En: "I will leave in six months. If you don't come, I will understand. But I have to try."Hr: Nastavili su hodati.En: They continued walking.Hr: Snijeg je šuštao pod njihovim koracima.En: The snow crunched under their steps.Hr: Ivana je osjetila teret odluke na svojim ramenima.En: Ivana felt the weight of the decision on her shoulders.Hr: "Ljubav je važna, ali i moji snovi. Moram ostati."En: "Love is important, but so are my dreams. I have to stay."Hr: Marin je zastao.En: Marin paused.Hr: Pogledao je u nju s nježnošću.En: He looked at her tenderly.Hr: "Volim te dovoljno da te pustim."En: "I love you enough to let you go."Hr: Tada su nastavili hodati.En: Then they continued walking.Hr: Maksimir je bio tih, osim snijega koji je i dalje padao.En: Maksimir was quiet, except for the snow that continued to fall.Hr: Iako su se kretali prema različitim sudbinama, hodali su zajedno još neko vrijeme, puštajući sjećanja da ih grije u zimskom zraku.En: Although they were moving towards different destinies, they walked together a little longer, letting memories warm them in the winter air.
