 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.

Deju pārāk aizrāvos ar citām lietām. Mēs taču esam ģimene."En: Jānis interjected: "I've been away too long. I got too caught up in other things. After all, we are family."Lv: Līga piekrita, iekustinot sarunu vītnes, kuras ilgi bija bijušas nemanītas: "Zinu, ka man jāsabalansē. Man iztrūkst mūsu sarunu, mūsu vienotības."En: Līga agreed, stirring the threads of conversations that had long gone unnoticed: "I know I need to balance. I miss our conversations, our unity."Lv: “Tieši tā!” Martins uzsaucās, “Kāpēc jāgaida gadi, lai satiktos? Mums jāatrod laiks.”En: "Exactly!" Martins exclaimed, "Why wait years to meet? We need to find time."Lv: Viņu starpā aizplūda sakārtota naftallina gaisotne.En: Between them, an organized, nostalgic atmosphere flowed.Lv: Sirdi un prātu sen atstājušie vārdi izlauzās, vedot pie izlīguša dzirkstīguma.En: Words long left behind in their hearts and minds broke out, leading to a reconciled sparkle.Lv: Tā, kopīgā lēmuma reibumā, novācot ziemas apledojumu no stiklveltēm, viņi pieņēma solījumu.En: Thus, in the intoxication of a shared decision, wiping off the winter frost from the glass panes, they made a promise.Lv: “Paliekam tuvumā, nesatraucoties par attālumiem. Mēs taču esam Latvijā, bet svarīgāk ir būt kopā,” sacīja Jānis, sajūtot, kā visi kopā izdzēruši nelielu bet dziedinošu baiļu pilienu.En: "Let's stay close, not worrying about distances. After all, we are in Latvija, but what's more important is being together," said Jānis, feeling as if they had all consumed a small but healing drop of fear.Lv: Rīgas virsotnēs ziemas saule ...
