Self-study slovenian language materials
Numerous courses for study of Slovenian language, are provided by the University of Ljubljana, at The Center for Slovene as a Second/Foreign Language, Faculty of Arts. Applicants have a choice of short courses, a half-year course, short winter and summer school, personal tuition, and the annual full year course.
As in English, stress in Slovenian can fall on any syllable of a word : máti(mother); govorìti (to speak); zakaj (why). In the vocabularies the stress is always marked. In diferent forms of the same word, the stress occurs quite on different syllables: nosìti – nósim, móž – možÃ¡, člôvek – človèka. A few words have no stress whatsoever.
Slovenian expresses with its endings not only number and gender, but also relationships between the different words in the sentences (which in English are expressed by means of prepositions). There are a total of six forms for these relationships – which are called cases.
When we communicate, we use a wide variety of language forms, which have their particular structure, style and purpose. They have been called text-types or discourse forms.
