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.

Please help!" Jinwoo shouted with all his might.Ko: 그는 혼자 해결할 수 있다는 자신의 믿음을 깨고, 진정으로 도움을 요청했다.En: He broke his belief that he could resolve this alone and sincerely asked for help.Ko: 잠시 후 두 사람의 목소리가 그의 귀에 들어왔다.En: Moments later, two voices reached his ears.Ko: "저기, 들려?En: "Hey, did you hear that?Ko: 아마도 도움이 필요한 사람이 있는 것 같아." 민지와 수호는 진우의 목소리를 들었다.En: It seems like someone might need help." Minji and Suho heard Jinwoo's voice.Ko: 그들은 서둘러 소리가 나는 방향으로 향했다.En: They hurried in the direction of the sound.Ko: 몇 분 뒤, 그들은 진우를 발견했다.En: A few minutes later, they found Jinwoo.Ko: "괜찮으세요?" 민지는 걱정스러운 목소리로 물었다.En: "Are you okay?" Minji asked with a worried voice.Ko: "잠깐 쉬어서 몸 상태를 확인해봐요." 수호는 예의 바르게 진우에게 손을 내밀었다.En: "Let’s take a break and check your condition." Suho politely offered his hand to Jinwoo.Ko: 진우는 고맙다고 인사를 하며 사과했다.En: Jinwoo thanked them and apologized.Ko: "정말 감사합니다.En: "Thank you so much.Ko: 제 경솔함 때문에 이렇게 됐어요."En: This happened because of my carelessness."Ko: 그날 진우는 소중한 교훈을 얻었다.En: That day, Jinwoo gained a valuable lesson.Ko: 혼자서 모든 것을 해결하려고 하지 않고, 주변 사람들에게 마음을 열어야 한다는 것을 깨달았다.En: He realized that he shouldn’t try to solve everything on his own and that he needed to open up to those around him.Ko: 북한산의 겨울은 어느덧 해가 저물고, 세 사람은 안전하게 하산했다.En: As the day drew to a close in the winter of Bukhansan, the three of them safely descended the mountain.Ko: 설날, 가족과 함께 할 수 있다는 안도감에 진우는 마음속으로 미소를 지었다.En: With a sense of relief at being able to spend Seollal with his family, Jinwoo smiled to himself.Ko: 이제 그는 새해를 맞이하는 각오가 새로워졌다.En: Now, he was ready to welcome the New Year with a renewed resolve.Ko: 공동체의 소중함을 깨달으며 인간관계를 더욱 소중히 하리라 다짐했다.En: He pledged to cherish his relationships more and recognize the importance of community.Ko: 설날 그가 가족과 함께 있을 때, 바깥 세상의 추위는 더 이상 두렵지 않았다.En: When he was with his family during Seollal, the cold of the world outside no longer frightened him.

Eunhee exclaimed in admiration.Ko: 지수는 한복에 관심이 있었지만, 사실 처음 입어보는 거라 살짝 긴장됐습니다.En: Jisoo was interested in hanbok, but since it was her first time wearing it, she felt slightly nervous.Ko: "맞아, 하지만 좀 큰 것 같아. 조심해야겠어." 지수가 웃으며 대답했습니다.En: "Yeah, but it seems a bit big. I need to be careful," Jisoo replied with a smile.Ko: 세 사람은 돌담길을 걸으며 전통 가옥을 구경하고, 민속 놀이를 즐겼습니다.En: The three friends walked along the stone wall path, exploring the traditional houses and enjoying folk games.Ko: 그때, 사진 한 장을 찍기로 했습니다.En: Then, they decided to take a picture.Ko: 지수는 가족에게 보여줄 완벽한 사진을 원했습니다.En: Jisoo wanted a perfect photo to show her family.Ko: 그러나 한복 자락이 발에 걸려 지수가 정말 우스꽝스럽게 넘어졌습니다.En: However, the hem of the hanbok got caught under her foot, and she fell in a truly comical way.Ko: "아이고!" 지수가 외쳤습니다.En: "Oh no!" she cried out.Ko: 주변 사람들이 모두 그녀를 바라보았습니다.En: Everyone around looked at her.Ko: 지수는 빨개진 얼굴로 일어났습니다.En: Jisoo stood up with a flushed face.Ko: 너무 창피했지만, 잘 참고 웃음을 지으려고 했습니다.En: She was very embarrassed but tried hard to smile.Ko: "괜찮아?" 상민이 묻고 손을 내밀었습니다.En: "Are you okay?" Sangmin asked, extending his hand.Ko: "응, 괜찮아. 한복이 너무 커서 그래." 지수는 웃으며 대답했습니다.En: "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that the hanbok is too big," Jisoo replied with a laugh.Ko: 지수는 포기하지 않기로 했습니다.En: Jisoo decided not to give up.Ko: 상민과 은희가 도와준 덕분에, 한복을 조정하여 제대로 입을 수 있었습니다.En: With the help of Sangmin and Eunhee, she adjusted the hanbok so it fit properly.Ko: 세 사람은 한껏 멋을 내어 사진을 찍었습니다.En: The three of them styled themselves up and took a photo.Ko: 배경에는 전통 음악이 살짝 흐르고, 하얀 눈이 살짝 깔린 마을이 풍경을 더욱 아름답게 만들었습니다.En: In the background, traditional music played softly, and the village dusted with white snow enhanced the beauty of the scene.Ko: "이 사진 진짜 완벽해!" 은희가 사진을 보고 말했습니다.En: "This photo is truly perfect!" Eunhee said after seeing the picture.Ko: 지수는 미소 지었습니다.En: Jisoo smiled.Ko: "처음엔 좀 당황했지만 덕분에 좋은 추억이 된 것 같아. 완벽한 순간 그 자체야."En: "I was a bit flustered at first, but thanks to you, it turned into a great memory. It's the perfect moment itself."Ko: 그날 저녁, 지수와 친구들은 집에 돌아와 그날의 이야기를 나누며 웃었습니다.En: That evening, Jisoo and her friends returned home, laughing and sharing stories of the day.Ko: 지수는 깨달았습니다. 작고 큰 실수도 모두 소중한 기억이 된다는 것을.En: Jisoo realized that all mistakes, big and small, become precious memories.Ko: 완벽함보다 순간을 즐기는 것이 더 중요하다는 것을 말입니다.En: Enjoying the moment is more important than perfection.Ko: 긴 하루가 끝나고, 지수는 설날의 따뜻함을 마음에 품었습니다.En: As the long day came to an end, Jisoo cherished the warmth of Seollal in her heart.

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.
