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.

Si tudi ti prišel občudovat zimsko lepoto?"En: "Zdravo! Are you here to admire the winter beauty too?"Sl: Matej je dvignil pogled.En: Matej looked up.Sl: Pred njim je stala Jasmina, mlada ženska s toplim nasmehom.En: In front of him stood Jasmina, a young woman with a warm smile.Sl: Oči so ji žarele od navdušenja.En: Her eyes sparkled with excitement.Sl: Matej je pokimal in pogledal stran.En: Matej nodded and looked away.Sl: "Lepo je, ja," je bolj zamrmral zase, upajoč, da bo lahko nadaljeval svoj mirni sprehod.En: "It is beautiful, yes," he muttered more to himself, hoping he could continue his peaceful walk.Sl: Vendar Jasmina ni bila od muh.En: However, Jasmina was not easily discouraged.Sl: Vedno je iskala priložnosti za nove pogovore, nove prijatelje.En: She always sought opportunities for new conversations, new friends.Sl: Začela je govoriti o parku, o lepoti zime, o tem, kako se vsako drevo, vsaka steza zdi drugačna v snegu.En: She began to talk about the park, the beauty of winter, how every tree, every path seemed different in the snow.Sl: Matej je poskušal biti vljuden, a njegov um je hrepenel po samoti.En: Matej tried to be polite, but his mind longed for solitude.Sl: Pisalci in pesniki, kot je bil on, so pogosto v parku našli inspiracijo – tiho, osebno.En: Writers and poets, like himself, often found inspiration in the park – quietly, personally.Sl: A Jasmina je vztrajala.En: But Jasmina persisted.Sl: Zanjo je bil vsak dan priložnost za novo zgodbo, novo poznanstvo.En: For her, every day was an opportunity for a new story, a new acquaintance.Sl: Matej je končno pogledal v njene oči.En: Matej finally looked into her eyes.Sl: "Zakaj mi ne pustiš v miru?" je vprašal, bolj ostro, kot je nameraval.En: "Why won't you leave me alone?" he asked, more sharply than he intended.Sl: "Potrebujem svoj mir, tukaj... preslišati svet."En: "I need my peace here... to block out the world."Sl: Jasmina je bila tišja, razumela ga je.En: Jasmina grew quieter, she understood him.Sl: "Včasih se zdi, da smo sami, da moramo biti sami.En: "Sometimes it seems we are alone, that we must be alone.Sl: A park je tudi kraj za povezave."En: But the park is also a place for connections."Sl: Izgovorila je to s prijaznostjo.En: She said this with kindness.Sl: Pogledala okoli sebe, kako narava objema vsakogar, ki pride.En: She looked around, seeing how nature embraced everyone who came.Sl: "Narava nas uči, da tudi v tišini nismo vedno sami."En: "Nature teaches us that even in silence, we are not always alone."Sl: Matej je globoko zadihal.En: Matej took a deep breath.Sl: Njene besede so mu dale misliti.En: Her words made him think.Sl: Opazil je, kako danes sončni žarki prosevajo skozi oblake, kako svetloba spreminja vse, tudi njega.En: He noticed how the sun's rays broke through the clouds today, how the light changed everything, even him.Sl: "Oprosti, nisem bil pošten," je rekel.En: "I'm sorry, I wasn't fair," he said.Sl: "Mogoče res potrebujem koga, ki bi poslušal... Hvala, Jasmina."En: "Maybe I really do need someone to listen... Thank you, Jasmina."Sl: In začel je pripovedovati svojo zgodbo, počasi, previdno.En: And he began to tell his story, slowly, cautiously.Sl: Jasmina je poslušala, ni jemala njegovih besed zlahka.En: Jasmina listened, not taking his words lightly.Sl: Bila je tu zanj.En: She was there for him.Sl: In ko je Matej končal, se je počutil lažji.En: And when Matej finished, he felt lighter.Sl: Ko sta nadaljevala po parku, sta govorila o vsem mogočem.En: As they continued through the park, they talked about all sorts of things.Sl: Matej je prvič začutil, da ta park, ki ...
