    Tedinkyyy, of course there are books for learning the Slovene language. I have two of them! One is called "Colloquial Slovene" (although it is criticized for teaching "unnatural" Slovene), and the other is called "Učimo se Slovenščino!" and it is a very good book. I bought it in Slovenia. Very helpful, very well-written!

    Listening to Slovene songs is ideal for learning the language. I like the passion of Siddharta, the humour of Magnifico, the expressiveness of Vlado Kreslin, and I simply ADORE the album "Ljubimec iz omare" by Zoran Predin & Mar Django Kvartet!!!

    Don't mention it. (What's the Bulgarian answer to "благодаря"? "добре дошла"?) Well, when I told some Slovenes that I like Magnifico, they looked at me as if I had come from Mars! I don't know the styles that you like, but try Zoran Predin! He has a very masculine, bass voice, and he speaks really clearly.

    The album that I mentioned above, "Ljubimec iz omare", is in Gipsy-Jazz style. The music is great, but his lyrics are a bit difficult for beginners. Nevertheless, they are original and clever!

    i also have the book "Colloquial Slovene". It's very good.

    in jaz imam knjigo "Colloquial Slovene". Dobra je.

    Language lover, Magnifico rocks! I Do like him. He has some cool and cachy songs. Silvija, for example
    And Vlado Kreslin... He's also great. I listened to him few days ago live ^^
    Siddharta rocks. You can also try with Dan D and Big Foot Mama

    I think we should start with an alphabet. =)

    Aa (like a in car)
    Bb (like e in let)
    Cc (like ts in cats)
    Čč (like ch in church)
    Dd (like d in bad)
    Ee (like e in let)
    Ff (like f in fig)
    Gg (like g in bag)
    Hh (like h in huge: always pronounced)
    Ii (like ee in meet)
    Jj (like y in yes)
    Kk (like k in kind)
    Ll (like l in late)
    Mm (like m in milk)
    Nn (like n in new)
    Oo (like o in short)
    Pp (like p in post)
    Rr (strong r like in Spanish word amor [love])
    Ss (like s in seed)
    Šš (like sh in ship)
    Tt (like t in team)
    Uu (like oo in soon)
    Vv (like v in vine)
    Zz (like z in zero)
    Žž (like s in measure)

    Some letters are sometimes pronounced differently. But that depends where the letter is locating.

    Bb: If it's standing at the end of the word it's pronounced like p in put.
    Example: Drab. /drap/ (Drab is a surname)
    Grb. /grp/ = Coat of Arms

    Dd: If it's standing at the end of the word it's pronounced like t in put.
    Example: Gad. /gat/ = A viper [type of snake]

    Ll: If it's standing at the end of the word, after the vowel it's pronounced like w in win.
    Example: Postal sem. /postau/ = I've become.

    Vv: If it's standing after a vowel or before a consonant it's pronounced like w in win.
    If it's standing alone it's pronounced like oo in soon.
    Example: Lestev. /lesteu/ = A letter.
    V hiši. /U hishi./ = In the house.
    Zdravje. /zdrauje/ = Health.

    Hope that helped. ^^

    Interesting that there are some people eager to learn slovenian. I believe it's considered as one of the difficult languages for learning.

    Hey folks,

    can somebody help me with some words - I couldn't find a translation for them.
    Does anybody knows for a realy good Slovenian online dictionary?
    I have used so far this one:
    http://www.eudict.com/?lang=slocro&word=&go=Search

    I tried to translate "Vem da je verala" from Stavros and Sandi:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wmm9M6Uva4

    From this song I am not sure what does this words mean:

    jezim
    dotikate
    poveste
    saj
    ker mine vse
    res

    also:

    zavetje
    rišeš
    iščeš

    Thanks in advance!
    Pozdrav!

    I'll try to translate you words you wrote in your post.

    jezim - to be mad at - (from verb "jeziti se")
    dotikate - touching (something) - ("dotikati se")
    poveste - telling (somone) - ("povedati")
    saj - because
    ker mine vse - because everything comes to an end / ends, everything passes
    res - true
    zavetje - shelter
    rišeš - (you) draw - ("risati")
    iščeš - seeking, searching, looking for

    Those are direct translations but I think it's mostly accurate although I didn't listen to the whole song.

    regards,
    S

    singo, they are not only very close to each other, but also to my native language Bulgarian the problem here is that there's a danger that I'll mess them awfully lol
    At the moment I struggle to throw away the influence of Bulgarian in my Serbian speaking, then I guess, I'll have the same problem with Slovenian and the Serbo-Croatian influence :/

    Default learning language...beginner

    Hi! Glad to see that there is a current thread about the language!

    I'm trying to learn the language, but need help with the pronounciation portion. I'm considered a very basic beginner....I understand the sounds in the alphabet and know some of the standard greetings, etc. Is anyone interested in Skype for maybe 10 minutes a few times a week?

    Or...anyone interested in just helping me period? As in the first post, I have difficulty in getting materials also!

    Glad to have additional artists to try out...I've mainly listened to Vlado Kreslin and hadn't found anyone else where I could make out the words.

    Thanks!
