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 Slovak, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Slovak 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 Bratislava, Košice, or High Tatras? Maybe you want to speak Slovak with your grandparents from Banská Bystrica?

Jakuba v Levoči. En: Marek stood in front of the magnificent Gothic structure of St. Jakub Church in Levoča. Sk: Leto bolo v plnom prúde, a teplé lúče slnka ožarovali veže kostola, ktoré sa dotýkali neba. En: Summer was in full swing, and the warm rays of the sun illuminated the church towers, which seemed to touch the sky. Sk: Marek ťažko vzdychol. En: Marek sighed heavily. Sk: Cítil sa nesvoj.
