À propos de cet audio

 Are you ready to supercharge your Latvian 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 Latvian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Latvian 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 Sigulda, Riga, or Jurmala? Maybe you want to speak Latvian with your grandparents from Liepaja?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Latvia, the heartland where Latvian is primarily 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 Latvian listening comprehension.

Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Izlabo savu klausīšanās sapratni ar mūsu Latviešu stāstiem šodien!Copyright FluentFiction.org Apprentissage des langues Éducation

Visi meklē tevi!”En: “Jāni, where are you? Everyone is looking for you!”Lv: Mare bija bijusi viņa draugs uz ilgu laiku, un tagad šķita, ka viņa varētu viņu izglābt.En: Mare had been his friend for a long time, and now it seemed she might save him.Lv: “Es esmu laboratorijā, aizslēgts iekšā!” Jānis kliedza.En: “I am in the laboratory, locked inside!” Jānis shouted.Lv: Bija gandrīz haoss, bet Māra ātri izsauc Rūdolfu, tehnoloģijas ekspertu, pa ceļam.En: It was almost chaos, but Māra quickly called Rūdolfu, the technology expert, along the way.Lv: Viņi sāka meklēt pārraudzības tabulā uz ielas, lai atrisinātu problēmu.En: They started looking at the control panel on the street to resolve the issue.Lv: Tikmēr, iekšā, Jānis uzmanīgi sekoja Rūdolfa norādēm, cenšoties atrast pareizo slēdzi.En: Meanwhile, inside, Jānis carefully followed Rūdolfs' instructions, trying to find the right switch.Lv: Viņš to atrada tieši tajā brīdī, kad beidzot sakontaktēja ar ārpusi, un mašīnas apstājās.En: He found it just as he finally made contact with the outside, and the machines stopped.Lv: Kad viss nomierinājās, kā starp brīnumiem, Jānis pamanīja savu cimdiņu sapraustu zem dažiem metāla gabaliem.En: When everything calmed down, as if amidst miracles, Jānis noticed his glove stuck under some metal pieces.Lv: Viņš nolēma būt vērīgāks turpmāk.En: He decided to be more vigilant in the future.Lv: Būtīs kļūdams - neaizmirst savas mantas un meklējot palīdzību, kad nepieciešams.En: The lesson was clear - not to forget his belongings and to seek help when needed.Lv: Kad Jānis atkal iznāca ārā no laboratorijas, ar smaidu sejā un draugiem blakus, viņš pateicās viņiem par palīdzību.En: When Jānis came out of the laboratory again, with a smile on his face and friends by his side, he thanked them for their help.Lv: Viņa sirds bija pilna siltuma, ne tikai no cimdiņa, bet arī no draugu uzticības un atbalsta.En: His heart was full of warmth, not only from the glove but also from the trust and support of his friends.Lv: Un viņš sev apņēmās: turpmāk viņš būs uzmanīgāks, mazliet rūpīgāks, bet visvairāk - novērtēt tos, kas ir viņa pusē.En: And he promised ...
