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.

Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Izboljšajte svoje razumevanje poslušanja z našimi slovenskimi zgodbami danes!Copyright FluentFiction.org Apprentissage des langues Éducation

Lepo je, da si tukaj."En: As he approached, he kindly said, "Hi, Zala. It's nice to see you here."Sl: Zala ga je presenečeno pogledala. "Oh, Miran! Nisem te pričakovala tu," se je nasmehnila.En: Zala looked at him in surprise. "Oh, Miran! I didn't expect to see you here," she smiled.Sl: "Sem del teh umetniških razstav. Bi si rada ogledala kaj mojega?" je predlagal in pokazal na svoja dela.En: "I'm part of these art exhibitions. Would you like to see some of my work?" he suggested, pointing to his pieces.Sl: Zala je prikimala in začela opazovati Miranove slike.En: Zala nodded and began to observe Miran's paintings.Sl: Ena izmed njih jo je še posebej pritegnila.En: One of them especially caught her attention.Sl: "Ta je čudovita," je rekla iskreno. "Odraža veliko čustev."En: "This one is beautiful," she said sincerely. "It conveys a lot of emotions."Sl: Miran je bil presenečen in hvaležen. "Vesel sem, da ti je všeč. To mi veliko pomeni."En: Miran was surprised and grateful. "I'm glad you like it. It means a lot to me."Sl: Skupaj sta se zasidrala v pogovoru o umetnosti, potovanjih in življenju.En: Together they delved into a conversation about art, travel, and life.Sl: Miran je začutil, kako mu raste samozavest.En: Miran felt his confidence growing.Sl: Zala je presenetljivo uživala v njegovi družbi, nekaj, česar ni pričakovala ob tovrstnem dogodku.En: Zala surprisingly enjoyed his company, something she did not expect at such an event.Sl: "Bi šla na kakav?" je na koncu predlagal Miran.En: "Would you like to go for some cocoa?" Miran eventually suggested.Sl: Zala je oklevala le za trenutek.En: Zala hesitated only for a moment.Sl: Nato je rekla: "Zakaj pa ne? Poskusiva."En: Then she said, "Why not? Let's try."Sl: Tako sta se odpravila proti bližnji kavarni, kamor sta vstopila smeječa in polna novih idej.En: So they headed to a nearby cafe, entering with laughter and full of new ideas.Sl: Ljubljani je zima prinesla nekaj posebnega; prijateljstvo ali morda kaj več.En: Ljubljana was given something special by winter; friendship or perhaps something more.Sl: Miran je ugotovil, da je moč ljubiti svoje delo in biti odkrit.En: Miran realized that it's possible to love one's work and be open.Sl: Zala pa je razumela, da čar lahko pride iz najmanj pričakovanih krajev.En: Zala understood that magic can come from the most unexpected places.Sl: Snega je bilo vedno manj, a toplina srečanja je počasi premagovala mraz.En: There was less and less snow, but the warmth of the meeting slowly overcame the cold.Sl: Trg je ostajal živahen, tisoče novih zgodb se je začelo že to zimo, vendar je njihova zgodbica komaj vzklila.En: The square remained lively, thousands of new stories had already begun this winter, but their little story had just sprouted.
