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.

And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to South Korea or North Korea? Maybe you want to speak Korean with your family from Seoul? Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in Korea.

"설날 북...이에요. 작게나마 설날을 기념하고 싶어서요."En: Minjun replied with a trembling voice, "It's a Seollal drum... I want to celebrate the New Year, even if it's just a little."Ko: 의심이 들 법도 했지만, 은지는 민준이의 노력을 눈여겨봤다.En: Although she had her suspicions, Eunji took note of Minjun's effort.Ko: 민준의 방에는 작은 한복 장식도 걸려 있었다.En: In Minjun's room, there was also a small hanbok decoration hanging.Ko: 설날을 맞이하자는 의미가 담긴, 작은 축제였다.En: It was a small festival filled with the meaning of welcoming Seollal.Ko: 은지는 피식 웃으며 말했다. "오늘만은 괜찮아. 한 번 즐겨봐."En: Eunji smiled slightly and said, "Just for today, it's alright. Enjoy it once."Ko: 그날 밤 두 사람은 작은 북 소리에 맞춰 한복을 입고 기념 사진을 찍으며 설날을 축하했다.En: That night, the two of them celebrated Seollal by wearing hanbok and taking commemorative photos to the sound of the small drum.Ko: 민준이는 규칙의 울타리를 넘어서는 것이 때론 얼마나 의미 있는 걸음을 내딛게 만드는지를 배웠다.En: Minjun learned how stepping beyond the fence of rules can sometimes lead to meaningful strides.Ko: 반면 은지는 규칙 속에서도 즐김과 자유를 찾을 수 있다는 사실을 알게 되었다.En: On the other hand, Eunji realized she could find enjoyment and freedom even within the rules.Ko: 그리하여, 고요한 제주도의 겨울밤은 설날의 작은 축제로 따뜻해졌다.En: Thus, the tranquil winter night in Jeju Island was warmed by the small Seollal celebration.

Either they're using AI for the English speaker or the person speaking has absolutely no clue how any of the Korean words and names are pronounced. Not to mention the names are pronounced differently each time.
For a site that claims it is based on sociolinguistics, it seems to be missing a human component.
It was really hard to get past Jeyuungbookgoong for 경복궁.

Sounds like AI, and not a good AI
