Are you ready to supercharge your Slovak 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 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. 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 Bratislava, Košice, or High Tatras? Maybe you want to speak Slovak with your grandparents from Banská Bystrica?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Slovakia, the heartland where the Slovak language is primarily 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 Slovak listening comprehension.

Predaj by nám dal šancu na niečo nové.“En: "The house needs a lot of work. Selling it would give us a chance for something new."Sk: Marek sa zastavil.En: Marek stopped.Sk: Pozrel na poličku so starými fotografiami, kde bola ich babička s nimi ako deťmi.En: He looked at the shelf with old photographs, where their grandmother was with them as children.Sk: „Je to naša rodinná pamiatka, Lenka.

Maybe one day it will be a place for our children," Marek said quietly.Sk: Lenka prešla po starom koberci, ktorý si pamätala z detstva.En: Lenka walked over the old carpet she remembered from childhood.Sk: „Máš pravdu, ale... možno môžeme urobiť oboje?“En: "You're right, but... maybe we can do both?"Sk: Diskusia pokračovala, až kým ich nezastavila vonkajšia metelica.En: The discussion continued until an outside blizzard stopped them.Sk: Vietor vyfúkol ich spomienky na chlad.En: The wind blew their memories into the cold.Sk: Bežali naspäť do útulného tepla kuchyne.En: They ran back to the cozy warmth of the kitchen.Sk: „Pozri, čo som našla!“ zvolala Lenka, keď z jednej zo zásuviek vyhrabala starý zápisník.En: "Look what I found!" Lenka exclaimed, as she pulled an old notebook from one of the drawers.Sk: Babkin ručný zápisník, pokrytý pachom minulosti.En: Their grandmother's handwritten notebook, covered with the scent of the past.Sk: Obsahoval rodinné príbehy, recepty na koláče a háčkované vzory.En: It contained family stories, cake recipes, and crochet patterns.Sk: Sedeli spolu, prezerali si stránky a smiali sa nad poznámkami napísanými babkinou rukou.En: They sat together, flipping through the pages and laughing at the notes written in their grandmother's hand.Sk: „Naša história je tu,“ povedal Marek dojatý.En: "Our history is here," Marek said, touched.Sk: Zrazu sa pozreli na seba.En: Suddenly, they looked at each other.Sk: Nostalgia a predtucha budúcnosti sa spojili do úžasného pocitu jednoty.En: Nostalgia and the premonition of the future merged into a wonderful feeling of unity.Sk: Ťažké myšlienky ustúpili rozjasneným plánom.En: Heavy thoughts gave way to brightened plans.Sk: „Čo keby sme renovovali jednu časť domu pre moderné potreby, ale iné časti nechali pre rodinu a spomienky?“ navrhol Marek.En: "What if we renovated one part of the house for modern needs, but left other parts for family and memories?" Marek proposed.Sk: Lenka prikývla s úsmevom.En: Lenka nodded with a smile.Sk: Zima zatiaľ vonku vládla, no medzi súrodencami zavládla dohoda, ako premeniť babkin dom na miesto, kde sa stretnú minulé i nové príbehy.En: Winter ruled outside, but an agreement was reached between the siblings on how to transform their grandmother's house into a place where past and new stories meet.Sk: Tak sa brat a sestra vydali cestou zmierenia, v objatí zimy, ale s nádejou na jar.En: Thus, brother and sister set out on a path of reconciliation, embraced by winter but with hope for spring.
