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.

En: Matej was sitting on a wooden bench in Tivoli park. Sl: Senca kostanjev ga je hladila pred poletno vročino. En: The shade from the chestnut trees cooled him from the summer heat. Sl: Sonce je sijalo skozi liste, ptice pa so peli svoje pesmi. En: The sun shone through the leaves, and birds sang their songs. Sl: Okoli njega so bile družine, prijatelji in parčki. En: Around him were families, friends, and couples. Sl: Vsi so uživali v sproščenem popoldnevu. En: Everyone was enjoying the relaxed afternoon. Sl: Vendar pa je Matej čutil tesnobo. En: However, Matej felt anxious. Sl: Danes je bil njegov rojstni dan, dan, ki ga je želel preživeti z Ana in Gregorjem. En: Today was his birthday, a day he wanted to spend with Ana and Gregor. Sl: Vedel je, da njegova sramežljivost lahko uniči ta dan. En: He knew that his shyness could ruin the day. Sl: Mislil je tudi, da nista opazila njegovega posebnega dne.
