About this listen

 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.

Moramo pokazati najboljše."En: "Today we have a surprise inspection. We need to show our best."Sl: Luka je pokimal: "Anže, imamo pripravljen načrt.En: Luka nodded: "Anže, we have the plan ready.Sl: Jaz bom preveril generatore, Nina pa bo poskrbela za varnostne protokole."En: I'll check the generators, and Nina will take care of the security protocols."Sl: Anže se je trudil nasmehniti. Bil je vodja.En: Anže tried to smile. He was the leader.Sl: Moral je voditi. Toda dvom je glodal njegovo samozavest.En: He had to lead. But doubt gnawed at his confidence.Sl: Kaj, če kaj ne gre po načrtih?En: What if something didn't go according to plan?Sl: Ko so vstopili globlje v bunker, je Anže začutil, da bunker skriva več presenečenj kot običajno.En: As they went deeper into the bunker, Anže felt that the bunker hid more surprises than usual.Sl: Stari hodniki so bili kot labirint.En: The old hallways were like a labyrinth.Sl: Vsak ovinek je prinesel nov izziv.En: Every turn brought a new challenge.Sl: In potem, nenadoma, se je vse stemnilo.En: And then, suddenly, everything went dark.Sl: Luči so ugasnile.En: The lights went out.Sl: "Kaj se dogaja?" je vprašala Nina z zaskrbljenim glasom.En: "What's happening?" Nina asked in a worried voice.Sl: "Mogoče je izpad elektrike," je predlagal Luka.En: "Maybe it's a power outage," suggested Luka.Sl: Glas njegovega telefona je osvetlil hallway pred njimi.En: The glow from his phone lit up the hallway in front of them.Sl: "Gremo preverit generatore."En: "Let's go check the generators."Sl: Anže je v tistem trenutku vedel, da se mora zanesti na ekipo.En: At that moment, Anže knew he had to rely on his team.Sl: "Luka, pojdi tja, Nina, poglej za ostale rezerve.En: "Luka, go there, Nina, look for other reserves.Sl: Jaz bom postavil svetilke."En: I'll set up the flashlights."Sl: Ticho, ki je sledilo, je bilo polno napetosti.En: The silence that followed was full of tension.Sl: Anže se je prisilil, da zaupa Nini in Luki.En: Anže forced himself to trust Nina and Luka.Sl: Minilo je morda pol ure, mogoče le nekaj minut.En: Maybe half an hour passed, maybe just a few minutes.Sl: Zdelo se je kot večnost, a luči so znova zasvetile.En: It felt like an eternity, but the lights came back on.Sl: Ekipa se je na novo zbrala; vsi so bili utrujeni, a zadovoljni.En: The team regrouped; everyone was tired, but satisfied.Sl: Ko so pregledovalci prišli, je Anže hitro predstavil svoje naloge.En: When the inspectors arrived, Anže quickly presented their tasks.Sl: Kljub preprekam je kontrola potekala gladko.En: Despite the obstacles, the inspection went smoothly.Sl: Inšepektorji so zapustili bunker z vtisom, da je Anže premagal težave z neverjetno odpornostjo.En: The inspectors left the bunker with the impression that Anže overcame the difficulties with incredible resilience.Sl: Ko so se vrata bunkerja za njimi zaprla, je Anže globoko vdihnil.En: As the bunker doors closed behind them, Anže took a deep breath.Sl: Pogledal je svojo ekipo.En: He looked at his team.Sl: "Odlično delo, ekipa.En: "Excellent work, team.Sl: Brez vas ne bi uspeli."En: We couldn't have done it without you."Sl: S tem se je Anže naučil pomembne lekcije.En: With that, Anže learned an important lesson.Sl: Zaupanje in sodelovanje sta ključna.En: Trust and collaboration are key.Sl: On sam ni dovolj, potrebuje ljudi okoli sebe.En: He alone is not enough; he needs people around him.Sl: In v tem malem bunkerju, skritem med kraškimi griči, to ni bila samo zmaga za projekt, ampak tudi za prijateljstvo.En: And in this little bunker, hidden among the kras hills, it wasn't just a victory for the project, but also for friendship.
