Anton Martin Slomšek, Priest and educator in the age of Enlightenment

One of the most significant contributions to Slovenian education was made by Anton Martin Slomšek, a prominent Slovenian of the time. Born in 26 November 1800, the same year as France Prešeren, he was to be appointed to an exalted position as the Bishop of Lavant, but the work into which he put all his energy and undoubtedly great ability was Slovenian language education.

Žiga Zois, Man of the Enlightenment

It was the Age of Enlightenment. In Austria and in Slovenian lands of the empire, Žiga Zois became the leading patron of the arts and sciences, owner of the largest private library in the Austrian Empire, second only to the State Library of Vienna. It is estimated that the library collection exceeded 2,700 titles in the second decade of the nineteen century.

Language courses in Slovenia

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.

Stress, gender and number

As in English, stress in Slovenian can fall on any syllable of a word : mÃ¡ti(mother); govorÃ¬ti (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: nosÃ¬ti â€“ nÃ³sim, mÃ³ž â€“ možÃ¡, člÃ´vek â€“ človÃ¨ka. A few words have no stress whatsoever.

Declension

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.
