À propos de cet audio

 Are you ready to supercharge your Slovenian 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 Slovenian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Slovenian 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 Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, or Ljubljana Castle? Maybe you want to speak Slovenian with your grandparents from Ljubljana?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background necessary to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere and life of Slovenia, the primary country where Slovenian is fluently 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 Slovenian listening comprehension.

O potovanjih v oddaljene kraje, raziskovanju sveta.En: Nina talks about their plans, about traveling to distant places, exploring the world.Sl: Vedno je bila pustolovska duša.En: She has always been an adventurous soul.Sl: Matej pa jo posluša, a misli mu begajo.En: Matej listens to her, but his mind is wandering.Sl: Nosil je skrivnost, ki ga je težila.En: He carries a secret that weighs heavily on him.Sl: "Matej, kaj misliš?" ga vpraša Nina ter se obrne proti njemu.En: "Matej, what do you think?" Nina asks, turning to him.Sl: Njen obraz je radoveden, pričakuje njegovo mnenje in soglasje.En: Her face is curious, expecting his opinion and agreement.Sl: Matej se ustavi.En: Matej stops.Sl: Gleda v jezero, kjer se sanke odsevajo na mehkih valovih.En: He looks at the lake, where sled reflections shimmer on the gentle waves.Sl: Vdihne globoko.En: He takes a deep breath.Sl: Zbere pogum.En: He gathers courage.Sl: "Nina," začel je počasi, "moram ti nekaj povedati."En: "Nina," he begins slowly, "I have something to tell you."Sl: Nina prikima.En: Nina nods.Sl: "Povej, Matej."En: "Tell me, Matej."Sl: "Prejel sem ponudbo za delo. V tujini," prizna Matej.En: "I've received a job offer. Abroad," Matej admits.Sl: Njegov glas je mehak.En: His voice is soft.Sl: Ve, da zadržuje dih.En: He knows he's holding his breath.Sl: Nina ga nekaj trenutkov gleda brez besed.En: Nina looks at him for a few moments without speaking.Sl: "Kje?"En: "Where?"Sl: "V Kanadi. Na pol leta," razkrije Matej.En: "In Canada. For six months," Matej reveals.Sl: Njegov pogled je napet, se ne more osredotočiti nikjer drugje kot na njene oči.En: His gaze is tense, unable to focus on anything but her eyes.Sl: Nina pogleda stran, čez jezero.En: Nina looks away, across the lake.Sl: "Kaj pa naši načrti?" njeno vprašanje je mehko, a polno čustev.En: "What about our plans?" her question is soft but full of emotion.Sl: Matej pogleda nazaj proti vodi, nato spet proti Nini.En: Matej looks back at the water, then again at Nina.Sl: "Ne vem, kako ti povedati.En: "I don't know how to tell you.Sl: Hotel sem ti prej povedati, a nisem znal.En: I wanted to tell you earlier, but I didn't know how.Sl: Bojim se, da te izgubim," reče iskreno.En: I'm afraid of losing you," he says sincerely.Sl: Nina se obrne nazaj k njemu, oči so ji tople.En: Nina turns back to him, her eyes warm.Sl: "Matej, ne bi smel skrivati tega pred mano.En: "Matej, you shouldn't have hidden this from me.Sl: Prijatelji si zaupamo.En: Friends trust each other.Sl: Razumem, zakaj.En: I understand why.Sl: Ampak moram vedeti."En: But I need to know."Sl: Matej s težavo prikima.En: Matej nods with difficulty.Sl: "Hočem to sprejeti, a nočem izgubiti tebe in naših sanj."En: "I want to accept it, but I don't want to lose you and our dreams."Sl: Pogovor jima teče počasi, z vsakim odkritim stavkom težo nekoliko lajšata.En: Their conversation flows slowly, with each revealed sentence lightening the weight a little.Sl: Nina ga nežno prime za roko.En: Nina gently takes his hand.Sl: "Matej, ti si moj prijatelj.En: "Matej, you're my friend.Sl: Podpiram te.En: I support you.Sl: In ko se vrneš, bova nadaljevala tam, kjer sva končala."En: And when you return, we'll continue where we left off."Sl: Matej se nasmehne z rahlim olajšanjem.En: Matej smiles with a slight sense of relief.Sl: "Hvala, Nina."En: "Thank you, Nina."Sl: Ob jezeru Bled snežinke še vedno nežno plešejo.En: By Lake Bled, snowflakes still dance gently.Sl: V tistem trenutku oba vesta: njihovo prijateljstvo je močno, zgrajeno na razumevanju in odkritosti.En: In that moment, they both know: their friendship is strong, built on understanding and honesty.Sl: Pot ju lahko vodi v različne smeri, a srci ostajata povezana.En: The path may lead them in different directions, but their hearts remain connected.Sl: S to gotovostjo v srcu se obrneta in nadaljujeta hojo ob zasneženem jezeru, skupaj in z novim upanjem.En: With this certainty in their hearts, they turn and continue walking along the snowy lake, together and with new hope.
