À propos de cet audio

 Are you ready to supercharge your Slovak 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 Slovak, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Slovak 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 Bratislava, Košice, or High Tatras? Maybe you want to speak Slovak with your grandparents from Banská Bystrica?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Slovakia, the heartland where the Slovak language 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 Slovak listening comprehension.

Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Zlepšte svoje počúvacie schopnosti s našimi slovenskými príbehmi ešte dnes!Copyright FluentFiction.org Apprentissage des langues Éducation

Je zima,“ sťažovala sa.En: “Marek, can we move on? It’s cold,” she complained.Sk: „Ešte chvíľu, Ivana. Musím mať fotografiu tej veže,“ odpovedal Marek a sústredil sa na nastavovanie svojho fotoaparátu.En: "Just a little longer, Ivana. I need a photo of that tower," Marek replied, concentrating on adjusting his camera.Sk: Lukáš zatiaľ nedával pozor.En: Meanwhile, Lukáš wasn't paying attention.Sk: Zaujímalo ho všetko, čo videl. Najmä však svoju pozornosť venoval malým zapadnutým kútikom, ktoré vyzerali záhadne.En: He was interested in everything he saw, especially focusing on the small hidden corners that looked mysterious.Sk: „Poďme tam, tam to vyzerá zaujímavo!“ ozval sa a ukázal smerom k bočnému nádvoru.En: "Let's go there; that looks interesting!" he called out, pointing towards a side courtyard.Sk: „Lukáš, počkaj. Musíme sa držať pri sebe,“ volal za ním Marek, ale Lukáš už bol na ceste.En: “Lukáš, wait.
