Are you ready to supercharge your Indonesian 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 Indonesian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Indonesian 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 Bali, Yogyakarta, or Raja Ampat? Maybe you want to speak Indonesian with your grandparents from Jakarta?

Our podcast will enrich you with the cultural and linguistic knowledge needed to fully immerse yourself in the regions of Indonesia, where the Indonesian language is predominantly 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 Indonesian listening comprehension.

Tanah Lot in Bali.Id: Di tengah semilir angin basah dan suara deburan ombak, Dewi berdiri sambil memegang erat tas punggungnya.En: Amidst the gentle breeze and the sound of crashing waves, Dewi stood holding tightly onto her backpack.Id: Hawa musim hujan membuat aromanya segar, meskipun tanah di sekitar terasa licin.En: The rainy season's air made the aroma fresh, even though the ground around felt slippery.Id: Pemandangan yang biasanya ramai dikunjungi turis kini sepi, menyisakan suara desiran angin dan suara ombak yang menghantam batu karang.En: This usually tourist-filled sight was now quiet, leaving the sound of the whispering wind and waves crashing against the rocks.Id: "Dewi, jangan jauh-jauh, ya!En: "Dewi, don't wander too far, okay!Id: Ingat kita di sini untuk belajar," seru Arief, sahabat baiknya, sambil melambai ke arah Dewi yang mulai melangkah lebih jauh dari rombongan.En: Remember, we're here to learn," called out Arief, her good friend, waving towards Dewi who was starting to step further from the group.Id: Arief, dengan sifatnya yang hati-hati, selalu mengingatkannya agar tidak melakukan hal yang nekat.En: Arief, with his cautious nature, always reminded her not to do anything reckless.Id: Dewi hanya tersenyum kecil.En: Dewi just gave a small smile.Id: Mata cokelatnya memandang ke arah Sari, murid pindahan baru yang selalu tampak misterius.En: Her brown eyes looked towards Sari, the new transfer student who always seemed mysterious.Id: Kali ini, Sari tampak lebih tertarik pada arah lain dari keramaian, ke area yang sedikit tersembunyi.En: This time, Sari appeared more interested in a different direction from the crowd, towards a slightly hidden area.Id: Ada sesuatu tentang Sari yang membuat Dewi penasaran.En: There was something about Sari that piqued Dewi's curiosity.Id: "Arief, coba lihat ke sana.En: "Arief, take a look over there.Id: Aku dengar ada tempat rahasia yang sering diceritakan legenda lokal," bisik Dewi sambil menunjuk ke arah Sari menghilang.En: I heard there's a secret place often mentioned in local legends," Dewi whispered, pointing towards where Sari disappeared.Id: Rasa ingin tahunya yang membara seakan tidak bisa ditahan.En: Her burning curiosity seemed impossible to contain.Id: "Ayo kita ikuti," Dewi menambahkan dengan semangat yang tak bisa dibendung.En: "Let's follow," Dewi added with unstoppable enthusiasm.Id: Arief menggeleng, "Ini bukan ide yang bagus, Dewi.En: Arief shook his head, "This isn't a good idea, Dewi.Id: Pura ini besar dan bahaya kalau nyasar.En: This pura is big, and it’s dangerous if we get lost."Id: "Namun, rasa penasaran Dewi sudah terlanjur berkobar.En: However, Dewi's curiosity had already flared up.Id: Dia melanjutkan langkahnya diikuti dengan sedikit ragu oleh Arief.En: She continued her steps, followed with slight reluctance by Arief.Id: Mereka menyusuri jalan setapak yang dibatasi oleh pohon-pohon tinggi dan semak basah, mengikuti Sari dari kejauhan.En: They traced a narrow path bordered by tall trees and wet bushes, following Sari from a distance.Id: Hujan mulai turun dengan deras, memaksa ketiganya mencari perlindungan di bawah naungan sebuah batu besar.En: Rain began to pour heavily, forcing the three of them to seek shelter under the shade of a large rock.Id: Di balik batu itulah, mereka menemukan area tersembunyi, tempat ritual kuno, seperti yang disebut dalam legenda.En: Behind the rock, they found a hidden area, a place of ancient rituals, as mentioned in the legends.Id: Dinding batu berukir dan sesajen kuno tersusun rapi, memberikan aura magis yang menyejukkan.En: The stone walls were intricately carved and ancient offerings neatly arranged, giving off a magical, calming aura.Id: "Bagaimana kamu tahu tempat ini?En: "How do you

captivated.Id: Hujan mulai reda, dan saat mereka kembali ke rombongan, Dewi merasa ada yang berubah dalam dirinya.En: The rain began to subside, and as they returned to the group, Dewi felt something had changed within her.Id: Keberanian dan rasa penasarannya kini berbalut rasa hormat terhadap tradisi yang baru ia temui.En: Her bravery and curiosity were now wrapped in a newfound respect for the
