How to say “I don’t have …” in Slovak; Animate nouns in Accusative case; Slovak Caves 1; Legend about Matej Korvin S2E7

Today I'm going to tell you about some of the Slovak caves. In the Slovak lesson, we’re going to practice more sentences with accusative case. This time we use animate nouns, that means people and animals. You will also practice more how to say “I have” and “I don’t have” something in Slovak. For more advanced learners I have my version of the Legend about Matej Korvin.
