Are you ready to supercharge your Korean 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 Korean, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Korean 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.

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.

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 Korean listening comprehension. Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself.

We've got you."Ko: 지호는 동료들의 격려에 힘을 얻었다.En: Jiho drew strength from his colleagues' encouragement.Ko: 그는 민서와 수진의 도움을 받아 재료가 없으면 없는데로 대체할 방법을 고민했다.En: With the help of Minseo and Sujin, he brainstormed ways to substitute if materials were unavailable.Ko: 혁신적인 복원 기법을 적용하며 그들은 가슴 벅차게 작업해 나갔다.En: By applying innovative restoration techniques, they worked with hearts full of excitement.Ko: 마지막 복원의 단계에 다다랐을 때, 더욱 강한 폭풍이 다시 불어닥쳤다.En: When they reached the final stage of restoration, an even stronger storm struck once more.Ko: 지호는 정신을 가다듬고 차분히 심호흡을 했다.En: Jiho composed himself and took a deep breath.Ko: 수진이 조용히 그의 손을 잡았다.En: Sujin quietly held his hand.Ko: "지호, 우리가 할 수 있어," 민서가 힘을 줬다.En: "Jiho, we can do this," Minseo reassured him.Ko: 그는 다시 작업에 집중했다.En: He focused back on the work.Ko: 시간이 촉박했지만 그들은 포기하지 않았다.En: Time was running out, but they did not give up.Ko: 노력 끝에 드디어 마지막 조각이 제자리를 찾았고, 눈 속에서 유물들이 다시 빛을 발했다.En: After much effort, the final piece found its place, and the artifacts shone once again from within the snow.Ko: 설날 전날 아침, 사원은 설렘으로 가득했다.En: On the morning of the day before Seollal, the temple was filled with excitement.Ko: 복원된 유물은 마치 처음의 모습처럼 반짝였다.En: The restored artifacts glittered as if in their original condition.Ko: 지호는 미소 지으며 자신의 능력과 동료의 도움을 다시금 신뢰하게 되었다.En: Jiho smiled, regaining trust in his abilities and his colleagues' support.Ko: 사원의 설날 행사 동안, 지호는 자신이 한 일을 되돌아보았다.En: During the temple's Seollal event, Jiho reflected on the work he had done.Ko: 그는 자신의 과거와 화해하며, 함께하는 일의 중요성을 깨달았다.En: He reconciled with his past and realized the importance of working together.Ko: 지호는 이제 더 큰 자신감과 평화를 얻었다.En: Jiho now gained greater confidence and peace.Ko: 그토록 소중한 시고어를 보호하겠다는 그의 다짐은 더욱더 단단해졌다.En: His resolve to protect such precious artifacts strengthened even more.

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
