Episode Notes

This is Season 1 so we are starting with the basic Slovak words and phrases. In the following seasons we will move to more advanced material.

In addition to learning language, you will get some interesting facts, stories, and other information about practically anything Slovak, all in English!

However, at the end of my show, I will have a story in the Slovak language. This is mainly for more advanced students of Slovak, but even complete beginners should listen to the rhythm and intonation of the Slovak language.
