learn Slovak

Ordered a Slovak book, supposedly it’s not great, but the best one from the rest. And it’s full of colors and pictures, which is great !!!! I’m a visual learning I think, so this will help me a lot. It’s for total beginners, like what I am, so I think it’s a good purchase and will help me learn. :)

Of course it doesn’t help with the pronunciation, but there’s time and the online Slovak TV for that. :P

Wow, I never thought I’d be learning Slovak one day … :)

I’ve learned very few basic phrases from the free trial program Byki, it’s great for very basic things!

But that isn’t enough, I need to learn vocabulary, grammar, and much more! I was thinking that the true teaching will come from a teacher, because I really want to know how to speak it well (and not sound like a tourist :P), but until that time comes, I will learn some things on my own. I’ve also installed the Slovak keyboard, it helps to know how words are spelled! If only I knew where ”!” the and other signs are. :P

Just so I won’t forget :

• Zbožnujem = adore
• Mrkva = carrot
• Prosím = please (?) - NOT -Prošim !!
• Neviem = I don’t know
• a = and
• Zajtra = tomorrow
• Prečo = why

This looks like a pretty difficult language, so I am starting slowly, and I don’t expect to know it by a certain time. Besides, we are learning for our wholes lives, right? ;)
