 Are you ready to supercharge your Latvian 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 Latvian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Latvian 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 Sigulda, Riga, or Jurmala? Maybe you want to speak Latvian with your grandparents from Liepaja?

Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Latvia, the heartland where Latvian 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 Latvian listening comprehension.

    Fluent Fiction - Latvian: Beyond the Canvas: A Rīga Art Encounter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/lv/episode/2026-01-10-23-34-01-lv Story Transcript:Lv: Rīgas centrā, kur ziemas dienas gaišums caur logiem sūcas kā klusa dzērvju dziesma, atrodas Latvijas Nacionālais mākslas muzejs.En: In the center of Rīga, where the winter day's brightness seeps through the windows like a silent crane song, is the Latvijas Nacionālais mākslas muzejs (Latvian National Museum of Art).Lv: Šeit, pie gleznainajiem lukturiem, modernais latviešu mākslas darbs kļūst dzīvīgs un iedvesmojošs.En: Here, by the picturesque lamps, modern Latvian art becomes lively and inspiring.Lv: Lielais muzeja vestibilā ir šodien rosīgāks nekā parasti – notiek ziemas izstāde, kas piesaista daudzus interesentus.En: The grand vestibule of the museum is busier than usual today—a winter exhibition is taking place, attracting many enthusiasts.Lv: Ilze stāv muzeja priekšā, sajūsmā par gaidāmo izstādi.En: Ilze stands in front of the museum, excited about the upcoming exhibition.Lv: Viņa ir aizraujoša mākslas entuziaste, kura ilgstoši studē mākslu.En: She is a passionate art enthusiast who has been studying art for a long time.Lv: Pavisam nesen izstāde tika atklāta.En: The exhibition was just recently opened.Lv: Tai ir pievienojušies arī viņas draugs Andris un Mākslas vēsturnieks Mārtiņš.En: Her friend Andris and art historian Mārtiņš have also joined her.Lv: Ilzi acis spīd no gaidas.En: Ilze's eyes sparkle with anticipation.Lv: Viņa vēlas atrast jaunas iedvesmas saviem mākslas studiju darbiem.En: She wants to find new inspiration for her art studies.Lv: Taču ir vēl kāds iemesls – viņa cer uzturēt sarunu ar Mārtiņu, kurš viņai šķiet noslēpumains un sadraudzīgs.En: But there's another reason—she hopes to engage in conversation with Mārtiņš, who seems mysterious yet friendly to her.Lv: "Vai patiesi izstāde būs tik interesanta kā tu saki?" vaicā Andris, it kā pārāk aizrāvies ar savām fotogrāfijām, lai ticētu gleznām.En: "Will the exhibition truly be as interesting as you say?" Andris asks, seemingly too engrossed in his photographs to believe in paintings.Lv: Ilze pasmaida. "Es zinu, ka gleznas nekad nebūs tev tik aizraujošas kā fotoaparāts," viņa saka.En: Ilze smiles. "I know that paintings will never be as exciting to you as a camera," she says.Lv: "Bet šeit ir dažas instalācijas, kas varētu tevi ieinteresēt.En: "But there are some installations here that might interest you.Lv: Turklāt, gaismas un ēnas varētu veidot lielisku fonu tavām bildēm." Andris dod roku un piekrīt nākt līdzi, kaut ar skeptiskumu.En: Moreover, the lights and shadows could create a great backdrop for your photos." Andris holds out his hand and agrees to come along, albeit with some skepticism.Lv: Pa ceļam pa zālēm, Ilze nebeidz domāt, kādā veidā viņa varētu uzrunāt Mārtiņu.En: On their way through the halls, Ilze can't stop thinking about how she might start a conversation with Mārtiņš.Lv: Viņš ir pazīstams ar savu dziļo izpratni par mākslu, bet reti dalās savās domas.En: He is known for his deep understanding of art but rarely shares his thoughts.Lv: Ilze jau iepriekš gatavoja dažus interesantus jautājumus, cerot viņu ieinteresēt sarunā.En: Ilze had previously prepared some interesting questions, hoping to engage him in conversation.Lv: Kad viņi ieiet lielajā izstāžu zālē, pa visu telpu izplatās klusa runātuļa un soļu murdoņa.En: When they enter the large exhibition hall, a quiet murmur of voices and footsteps spreads throughout the space.Lv: Kāds jau ir norādījis Mārtiņa atrašanās vietu, un Ilze ar Andri lēni virzās viņa virzienā.En: Someone has already pointed out Mārtiņš's location, and Ilze and Andris slowly move towards him.Lv: Mārtiņš stāv pie viena no gleznām, pētīdams nianses kāda mākslinieka darbos.En: Mārtiņš stands by one of the paintings, examining the nuances in an artist's work.Lv: "Labdien, Mārtiņ!" Ilze sveicina viņu ar siltumu, piespiedusi sev noticēt saviem vārdiem.En: "Hello, Mārtiņ!" Ilze greets him warmly, convincing herself of her words.Lv: "Vai mums varētu pastāstīt par šo mākslas darbu?"En: "Could you tell us about this art piece?"Lv: Mārtiņš mierīgi pagriežas un viegli smaida. "Protams, Ilze. Šis darbs ir unikāls sava krāsu lietojuma dēļ. Tas simbolizē...".En: Mārtiņš calmly turns and gently smiles. "Of course, Ilze. This piece is unique due to its use of color. It symbolizes...".Lv: Tā viņi pavada daudz laika draudzīgās sarunās, Ilze apbrīno ne tikai mākslas darbu, bet arī Mārtiņa ieskatu un stāstus par māksliniekiem.En: That's how they spend a lot of time in friendly conversations, Ilze admiring not just the artwork but also Mārtiņš's insights and stories about the artists.Lv: Tikmēr Andris, kas ...

Lieliski. Tu teici tas, ko arī es biju iedomājusies, bet nespēju izteikt."En: "Yes, I understand. Excellent. You expressed what I had also imagined but couldn't articulate."Lv: Viņa pasmaidīja Raimondam un piebilda, "Tas bija ļoti iedvesmojoši."En: She smiled at Raimonds and added, "That was very inspiring."Lv: Raimonds juta, kā viņa sirds lepni sitās.En: Raimonds felt his heart beating proudly.Lv: Viņš saprata, ka viņa balss ir vērtīga un ka viņš var būt tieši tikpat pārliecināts kā Dace.En: He realized that his voice was valuable and that he could be just as confident as Dace.Lv: Šodien bija jaunas draudzības sākums, un muzeja gaišās zāles piepildījās ar draudzīgiem smiekliem un dalītām intervencēm.En: Today marked the beginning of a new friendship, and the museum's bright halls filled with friendly laughter and shared interactions.Lv: Aiz logiem Rīgas sniegs turpināja lēnām krist, bet iekšienē Raimonds sajuta siltumu, kas ...
