Slovene is meant to be a very hard language to learn and so we asked the person who we arranged the accommodation through if they could also provide us with some basic lessons when we arrived in Slovenia. They said yes and we will take a few lessons in Ljubljana in the first couple of weeks.
We already know how to say hello, thank you, 2 beers please, ask for the bill and no mushrooms on the pizza please, but a bit more wouldn't go amiss if we are going to spend 10 months there. We then found a great website (Eurotalk.com) which provided us with a cd where we can play games and learn quite a few words and phrases before we get there.
So the last week we have been learning Slovene each night and it has been quite a bit of fun so far. Officer Crabtree from 'Allo 'Allo has nothing on us but then we still have a few weeks to practice.
Back to the cd now for me for my next lesson!
