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 Korean, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Korean 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.

And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to South Korea or North Korea? Maybe you want to speak Korean with your family from Seoul? Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in Korea.

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 Korean listening comprehension.

"건축에 대해 알고 계세요?"En: Sooah, showing interest in the bunker conversation, asked Jihoon, "Do you know about architecture?"Ko: 두 사람은 벙커와 관련된 이야기를 시작으로 서로에게 마음을 열었습니다.En: The two began to open up to each other starting with their conversation about the bunker.Ko: 지훈은 수아의 밝은 성격에 끌렸고, 수아는 지훈의 진중한 태도에 안정을 느꼈습니다.En: Jihoon was drawn to Sooah's bright personality, and Sooah felt a sense of stability from Jihoon's serious demeanor.Ko: 그런데 갑자기 벙커 안의 전등이 깜빡거리더니, 순식간에 전기가 나갔습니다.En: But suddenly, the lights inside the bunker began to flicker and, in an instant, the power went out.Ko: 어둠 속에서 느껴지는 불안함.En: In the darkness, there was a sense of unease.Ko: 지훈은 손전등을 꺼내어 둘 사이를 비추었습니다.En: Jihoon took out a flashlight and illuminated the space between them.Ko: 수아는 조금 긴장한 듯 했지만, 지훈의 침착한 모습에 안심했습니다.En: Sooah seemed a little tense but felt reassured by Jihoon's calm demeanor.Ko: "괜찮아요. 발전기가 돌아오면 금방 전기가 들어올 거예요."En: "It's okay. The electricity will come back on as soon as the generator starts working again."Ko: 그동안 두 사람은 긴장한 어둠 속에서 서로를 의지하게 되었습니다.En: During that time, the two relied on each other in the tense darkness.Ko: 조심스레 이야기를 나누며 서로의 이야기를 조금씩 열어 보였습니다.En: Cautiously sharing stories, they gradually opened up to each other.Ko: 지훈은 자신의 외로움을 털어놨고, 수아는 자신의 두려움을 솔직히 말했습니다.En: Jihoon shared his loneliness, and Sooah spoke honestly about her fears.Ko: 잠시 후 전기가 돌아왔습니다.En: After a while, the electricity returned.Ko: 벙커 안은 ...
