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.

Maybe you want to speak Slovak with your grandparents from Banská Bystrica?

En: The fresh spring breeze blew over the peaks of the Vysoké Tatry, where mountain flowers began to bloom among the melting snow. Sk: Marek, skúsený a starostlivý strážca prírody, stál na okraji nového turistického chodníka. En: Marek, an experienced and caring nature warden, stood at the edge of a new hiking trail. Sk: Po jeho boku stála Viera, energická nová členka tímu, ktorá sa chystala na svoju prvú veľkú úlohu.

Sk: „Marek, mám nápad, ako urobiť tento chodník prístupnejším, a pritom zachovať prírodné krásy,“ začala Viera s nadšením.

Sk: „Ak presunieme časť chodníka, môžeme obísť túto krehkú lúku a chrániť tak vzácne rastliny. En: \"If we reroute part of the trail, we can bypass this fragile meadow and protect the rare plants. Sk: Navyše môžeme pridávať drevené mostíky cez niektoré potoky. En: Also, we can add wooden footbridges over some of the streams.\" Sk: “Marek premýšľal. En: Marek thought it over.
