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.

Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Izboljšajte svoje razumevanje poslušanja z našimi slovenskimi zgodbami danes!Copyright FluentFiction.org Education Language Learning

Matej asked.Sl: Eva je nemo prikimala, oči uprte v ekran.En: Eva nodded silently, her eyes fixed on the screen.Sl: "Imela sem kopijo, a je tudi ta izginila," je zašepetala.En: "I had a copy, but it's gone too," she whispered.Sl: To je potrdilo Matejeve strahove.En: This confirmed Matej's fears.Sl: Na obratu se je soočil s Tomažem, ki je z dvigom obrvi pozorno opazoval Mateja.En: He turned to face Tomaž, who observed Matej with a raised eyebrow.Sl: "Tomaž, potrebujem tvojo pomoč," je šepnil Matej.En: "Tomaž, I need your help," Matej whispered.Sl: "Ali lahko ugotoviš, kam je izginila datoteka?"En: "Can you find out where the file disappeared to?"Sl: Tomaž je dvignil brado in se malo nasmehnil.En: Tomaž raised his chin and smiled slightly.Sl: "Razvijal sem program za sledenje.En: "I developed a tracking program.Sl: Morda nam lahko pomaga," je priznal.En: It might help us," he admitted.Sl: Bil je to trenutek resnice.En: It was a moment of truth.Sl: Skupaj so pričeli s sledenjem.En: Together they began tracking.Sl: Program je pokazal pot datoteke do zunanjega e-poštnega strežnika.En: The program traced the file to an external email server, revealing a security breach in the system.Sl: "Imamo jo!" je zaklical Matej.En: "We found it!"
