Story Transcript:

Hr: Ivana je gledala bijelo, snježne padine koje su se protezale ispred nje.
En: Ivana was gazing at the white, snowy slopes stretching out in front of her.

Hr: Osjećala je hladan zrak na obrazima i zvuk smijeha koji je dolazio iz obližnje kolibe.
En: She felt the cold air on her cheeks and the sound of laughter coming from a nearby cabin.

Hr: Petra, njezina najbolja prijateljica, uvjerila ju je da dođe u popularno zimsko odmaralište.
En: Petra, her best friend, had convinced her to come to the popular winter resort.

Hr: "Bit će zabavno, Ivana," rekla je Petra s osmijehom.
En: "It will be fun, Ivana," Petra said with a smile.

Hr: "Moraš probati skijanje!
En: "You have to try skiing!"

Hr: "Sada, kad je stajala ovdje, skije na nogama, Ivana nije bila sigurna hoće li uspjeti.
En: Now, as she stood there, skis on her feet, Ivana was not sure if she would succeed.

Hr: Petra ju je potapšala po leđima i rekla: "Sigurna sam da ćeš uživati!
En: Petra patted her on the back and said, "I'm sure you'll enjoy it!"

Hr: "Ubrzo su se Ivana i Petra pridružile školi skijanja.
En: Soon, Ivana and Petra joined the ski school.

Hr: Luka, njihov instruktor, bio je strpljiv i ohrabrujući.
En: Luka, their instructor, was patient and encouraging.

Hr: Nosio je crvenu jaknu i široki osmijeh.
En: He wore a red jacket and a broad smile.

Hr: "Dobrodošli, svi," rekao je Luka.
En: "Welcome, everyone," Luka said.

Hr: "Danas ćemo učiti osnove skijanja.
En: "Today we'll learn the basics of skiing."

Hr: "Ivana je bila nervozna, ali Luka ju je smirivao.
En: Ivana was nervous, but Luka calmed her down.

Hr: "Samo se opusti i vjeruj svom tijelu," rekao je.
En: "Just relax and trust your body," he said.

Hr: Ivana je kimnula, upijajući svaku njegovu riječ.
En: Ivana nodded, absorbing his every word.

Hr: Na početku, Ivana je imala problema.
En: At the beginning, Ivana had trouble.

Hr: Pala je nekoliko puta i osjećala se posramljeno.
En: She fell a few times and felt embarrassed.

Hr: "Nikad neću uspjeti," pomislila je.
En: "I'll never succeed," she thought.

Hr: Ali Luka ju je nastavio ohrabrivati.
En: But Luka continued to encourage her.

Hr: "Svi griješimo.
En: "We all make mistakes.

Hr: Važno je ustati i pokušati ponovno," rekao je.
En: The important thing is to get up and try again," he said.

Hr: Petra je bila uz nju, hrabreći ju sa strane.
En: Petra was by her side, cheering her on.

Hr: "Ti to možeš, Ivana!
En: "You can do it, Ivana!"

Hr: "Kada je došao trenutak za izazovniju stazu, Ivana je osjetila paniku.
En: When the moment came for a more challenging slope, Ivana felt panicked.

Hr: Luka ju je pogledao s povjerenjem.
En: Luka looked at her with confidence.

Hr: "Ja ću biti uz tebe cijelo vrijeme.
En: "I'll be with you the whole time."

Hr: "Uzdahnuvši duboko, Ivana je odlučila vjerovati Luki.
En: Sighing deeply, Ivana decided to trust Luka.

Hr: Stali su na vrh padine i Luka je rekao: "Kreni kad se osjećaš spremno.
En: They stood at the top of the slope, and Luka said, "Go when you feel ready."

Hr: " Ivana je kliznula niz padinu, najprije polako, a zatim sve brže.
En: Ivana slid down the slope, at first slowly, then faster and faster.

Hr: Luka je bio uz nju, ohrabrujući svaki njezin pokret.
En: Luka was beside her, encouraging her every move.

Hr: Osjetila je vjetar u kosi i brzinu skija pod nogama.
En: She felt the wind in her hair and the speed of the skis under her feet.

Hr: Kada je stigla na dno, njezin osmijeh bio je širi od padina.
En: When she reached the bottom, her smile was wider than the slopes.

Hr: "Uspjela sam!
En: "I did it!"

Hr: " Ivana je uzviknula, sretna i ponosna.
En: Ivana exclaimed, happy and proud.

Hr: Nakon skijanja, svi su se okupili u Cozi Cabin.
En: After skiing, they all gathered in Cozi Cabin.

Hr: Topla vatra u kaminu i miris vruće čokolade ispunili su prostor.
En: The warm fire in the fireplace and the smell of hot chocolate filled the space.

Hr: Petra je veselo grlila Ivanu.
En: Petra hugged Ivana joyfully.

Hr: "Znala sam da ćeš uspjeti!
En: "I knew you would succeed!"

Hr: "Luka ju je također pohvalio.
En: Luka also praised her.

Hr: "Bio je to nevjerojatan napredak, Ivana.
En: "That was an amazing improvement, Ivana.

Hr: Moraš biti ponosna.
En: You should be proud."

Hr: "Dok su sjedili zajedno, Ivana je osjećala mir.
En: As they sat together, Ivana felt at peace.

Hr: Znala je da je stekla samopouzdanje na snijegu i možda novu vezu s Lukom.
En: She knew she had gained confidence on the snow and perhaps a new connection with Luka.

Hr: Ovaj dan bio je početak novih avantura za Ivanu, avantura u kojima će biti manje straha, a više povjerenja.
En: This day was the beginning of new adventures for Ivana, adventures with less fear and more trust.
