The Story continues... Milena is a treasure trove of new words for Dave … UTRUJEN/A means TIRED, RAZOČARAN/A – DISAPPOINTED, PRVI is FIRST, DRUGI is SECOND, PRAVLJICA – FAIRYTALE, PREMALO means TOO LITTLE, ZAVRETI – TO BOIL, PODEŽELJE is COUNTRYSIDE, ODRAŠČATI – TO GROW UP, SLUŽABNICA is MAID, OBNEMETI – TO BE SPEACHLESS, ZAKLAD is TREASURE, KRIČATI – TO SHOUT … And obviously Milena is not SATISFIED - ZADOVOLJNA, which is something completely different from "zadovoljena";)

It’s good that Dave has such good friends that they take him to a MEET ME PARTY or SPOZNAVNA ZABAVA. But Dave is also USEFUL – UPORABEN … he knows how to GET INSIDE or PRITI NOTER. He learned new words tonight: FRIZER is HAIRDRESSER, MLADINA is YOUTH, NAJBOLJ DIVJA means THE WILDEST, PLESIŠČE is DANCE FLOOR, GIBČNA is MOVABLE or FLEXIBLE, MAHATI is TO WAVE, OČALA are GLASSES and POZNATI SE means TO KNOW EACH OTHER. PRIDRUŽIMO SE – LET’S JOIN the party!

Today Dave and Mia learned that animals make different sounds in different languages. Well, Dave also learned a few other useful things… SVEŽ ZRAK is FRESH AIR, ZVOKI are SOUNDS, OVCA is a SHEEP and ŽABA is a FROG. He already knew RACA-DUCK and PETELIN-ROOSTER from before... But enough learning for today. It's time for a BREAK - PAUZA. Enjoy the CARTOONS - RISANKE Dave and Mia!

There were sparks at the pub tonight. But Dave keeps learning new words over and over again: V REDU SEM means I’M FINE, PREPRIČLJIVO means CONVINCING, POGREŠATI – TO MISS SOMEONE or SOMETHING, LIKATI is IRONING, LJUBOSUMEN – JEALOUS … and Korošica Urša is never ENVIOUS - NEVOŠČLJIVA. It seems that this story will not be concluded quickly…

That really was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT – LJUBEZEN NA PRVI POGLED… Fani and Leonard… Dave brought Milena’s CAT – MAČEK (or MUCEK when he’s young) while Milena is away for the WEEKEND – KONEC TEDNA. Now that there’s a GUEST – GOST in the house, Dave has to eat DINNER - VEČERJA alone.

Our couple experienced quite a shock today when they heard Fani´s dad FELL - PADEL and had to be taken to the HOSPITAL – BOLNICA/BOLNIŠNICA with an AMBULANCE - REŠILEC. As Dave and Fani rushed to see him, they found out that nothing vital – not the SPINE - HRBTENICA nor the HEAD – GLAVA - had been damaged. Instead, the X-RAY - RENTGEN showed that Fani´s dad BROKE HIS LEG – JE ZLOMIL NOGO and as Špela said he got a GIPS or MAVEC – PLASTER/CAST. He might need THERAPY sessions or TERAPIJA. You could say “SREČA V NESREČI” – “BLESSING IN DISGUISE”!

Dave found out today that he can also wear a 42 – DVA IN ŠTIRIDESET - shoe size, and not only a 43 – TRI IN ŠTIRIDESET size. He also learned that SLAČITI SE means TO TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES, while SEZUTI SE means TO TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES. Also, TO TRY ON – PROBATI/POSKUSITI, WET – MOKRO, COLD – MRZLO, RAIN - DEŽ, SNOW – SNEG, SOCKS – NOGAVICE, SHOES - ČEVLJI, TIGHT – OZKO, NAILS – NOHTI, and CASH is GOTOVINA.

Poor Dave doesn't sound too happy about his APPOINTMENT - TERMIN with the DENTIST – ZOBOZDRAVNIK/ZOBOZDRAVNICA. Well, he did learn some useful new words though. LIZIKA is a LOLLIPOP, SLADKARIJA means SWEETS or CANDY. ZOB is a TOOTH and ZOBNA MIŠKA is the 'Tooth Mouse', or the TOOTH FAIRY as they say in English. NEKAJ MANJKA means SOMETHING IS MISSING, and most importantly of all, ENO JABOLKO NA DAN, ODŽENE ZDRAVNIKA STRAN - AN APPLE A DAY, KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!

It’s not easy for a foreigner to start a new life in another country. He has to NAVADITI SE – GET USED TO a lot of new things. The HARDEST thing or NAJTEŽJE is the LANGUAGE – JEZIK, the CUSTOMS – NAVADE and traditions in Slovenia. In Dave’s case an obstacle was also that the Irish drive on the left and as Dave put it, he thought everyone was a GHOST DRIVER – VOZNIK KI VOZI V NAPAČNO SMER. But according to our Irish friend the upside are the PEOPLE - LJUDJE and FOOD - HRANA and that he can DISCUSS THINGS/HAVE A CHAT - POKRAMLJATI with friends over a good beer!

Easy money, that’s what Dave thinks! KARKOLI is ANYTHING, POKLIČITE is CALL, TAKOJ is IMMEDIATELY, ZDAJ is NOW. He wants TO SELL – PRODATI their TV – TELEVIZIJA. He says it’s BLACK – ČRNA, but only when it’s NOT TURNED ON – ko NI PRIŽGANA. He’s going to sell the TV together with the CABLES – KABLI and REMOTE CONTROL – DALJINEC, and you can watch while STANDING – STOJE, SITTING - SEDE, or LYING – LEŽE. DOBRA CENA – GOOD PRICE, CALL NOW – POKLIČITE ZDAJ!
