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.

Marek replied determinedly.Sk: Cez ticho lesa sledoval stopu, ktorá ho doviedla k malému otvoru v stromoch.En: Through the silence of the forest, he followed the trail that led him to a small opening among the trees.Sk: Tam stál!En: There it stood!Sk: Strom bol dokonale neporušený, ale pokrytý čudnými značkami, ktoré vyzerali ako runy.En: The tree was perfectly intact but covered with strange marks that looked like runes.Sk: Tajomstvo, ktoré Marek nemohol vysvetliť, ale ani ignorovať.En: A mystery that Marek couldn't explain, yet couldn't ignore either.Sk: Spolu s Annou jemne vzali strom späť na farmu.En: Together with Anna, they gently took the tree back to the farm.Sk: Našťastie, dorazili včas na dodanie do mesta.En: Luckily, they arrived in time for delivery to the city.Sk: Príbeh o zmiznutom stromčeku, ktorý sa akoby zázrakom objavil, stal sa súčasťou vianočnej mágie a upútal pozornosť mnohých.En: The story of the missing tree, which miraculously reappeared, became part of Christmas magic and caught the attention of many.Sk: Týmto Marek nielenže zachránil Vianoce pre farmu, ale aj nadobudol odvahu a riešenie ovládnuť každú výzvu.En: In this way, Marek not only saved Christmas for the farm but also gained courage and determination to tackle every challenge.Sk: Pozrel sa ďalej do budúcnosti a predstavil si svoju vlastnú malú škôlku stromov.En: He looked further into the future and imagined his own small nursery of trees.Sk: Možno jedného dňa...En: Perhaps one day...Sk: A tak Vianoce na farme ostali nádherným symbolom spolupráce a odvahy, zatiaľ čo vzduch vonku niesol vôňu čerstvého snehu a jedlí.En: And so, Christmas on the farm remained a beautiful symbol of cooperation and courage, while the air outside carried the scent of fresh snow and firs.Sk: Každý kto tadiaľ prišiel...
