 Are you ready to supercharge your Korean 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 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.

Or was it a matter of utmost importance?Ko: 지수는 명부를 들고 상관인 민호에게 조용히 다가갔다.En: Jisoo quietly approached her superior, Minho, holding the register.Ko: "민호 선배, 여기에 문제가 있는 것 같아요." 그녀는 조용히 말했다.En: "Minho, I think there's a problem here," she said quietly.Ko: 민호는 눈길 없이 서류를 보면서 대충 대답했다. "알겠어요, 지수. 지금은 바쁘니까 무시하세요. 그냥 지나가죠. 스캔들 일으킬 필요 없어요."En: Without looking up from the documents, Minho replied dismissively, "I understand, Jisoo. We're busy right now, so just ignore it. Let's just move on; there's no need to cause a scandal."Ko: 지수는 순간 망설였다. 설날도 다가오고 있어 쉽게 문제가 커질 수도 있었다.En: Jisoo hesitated for a moment. With Seollal approaching, the issue could easily escalate.Ko: 하지만 그녀는 양심을 외면할 수 없었다.En: But she couldn’t turn a blind eye to her conscience.Ko: "죄송하지만, 저는 이 일을 그냥 넘길 수 없어요. 꼭 바로잡아야 해요."En: "I'm sorry, but I can't just let this go. It needs to be corrected."Ko: 결국 지수는 그 문제를 바로잡기로 결심했다.En: Ultimately, Jisoo decided to address the problem.Ko: 민호의 눈총을 받으며 지수는 상사인 수진에게 다가갔다.En: Under Minho's glare, she approached her manager, Sujin.Ko: 수진은 상황을 심각하게 받아들였다.En: Sujin took the matter seriously.Ko: "잘했어요, 지수. 이 문제는 바로 해결해야 해요."En: "Well done, Jisoo. This issue needs to be resolved immediately."Ko: 그 후, 조사팀이 신속하게 움직였고, 그 불법적인 투표는 바로잡혔다.En: Soon after, the investigation team moved quickly, and the illegal vote was corrected.Ko: 몇 시간 후, 뉴스에서는 지수의 용기를 칭찬하는 보도가 나왔다.En: Hours later, the news reported Jisoo's courage, and she was commended.Ko: 덕분에 그녀의 일자리는 지켜졌고, 커뮤니티는 그녀를 영웅으로 칭송했다.En: Thanks to this, her job was secured, and the community hailed her as a hero.Ko: 지수는 무거운 짐이 내려간 것 같았다.En: Jisoo felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.Ko: 그녀는 미소를 지으며, 특히 이번 일을 통해 진정 무엇이 중요한지를 깨달았다.En: Smiling, she realized what truly mattered through this experience.Ko: 정직과 용기가 때로는 커다란 변화를 가져올 수 있음을 배운 값진 경험이었다.En: It was a valuable lesson that honesty and courage can sometimes bring about significant change.Ko: 설날이 되기 전에 지수는 ...
