While Dave gets to grips with eastern Slovenian place names, let's see what he learned on the drive home. AVTOCESTA is a MOTORWAY/HIGHWAY. ZAPRTO/A is CLOSED, OBVOZ is a DETOUR, ŽIVAL NA CESTI is AN ANIMAL ON THE ROAD, DELO NA CESTI means ROADWORKS, OKVARJENO TOVORNO VOZILO is a BROKEN DOWN LORRY/TRUCK and NESREČA is an ACCIDENT. And let's hope that Dave's driving skills get up to speed on Slovenia's fast roads pretty soon.

Dave's favourite team is set to win and Dave and Fani will celebrate tonight! And next time, Dave can start using some of the Slovenian football vocabulary: CORNER KICK – KOT, HAND BALL – ROKA, FOUL - PREKRŠEK, FREE KICK – PROSTI STREL, RED CARD - RDEČI KARTON, YELLOW CARD – RUMENI KARTON, PENALTY KICK – ENAJSTMETROVKA, POWERFUL – MOČNO and VICTORY – ZMAGA. Oh, and the match did finish ONE-NIL – ENA-NIČ.

So, Dave is going back to school… There's a long way to go but he's optimistic… He's learning Slovene with every step. For example, he learned today that DEKAN is DEAN, SESTANEK is MEETING, NAD POVPREČJEM means ABOVE AVERAGE… and his GRADES - OCENE really are above average, so he can start TAKOJ - IMMEDIATELY with LECTURES – s PREDAVANJI.

Dave is about to go back to STUDY – ŠTUDIJ. He studied LAW – PRAVO back in Ireland and tomorrow he’s going to get more information at the FACULTY OF LAW – PRAVNA FAKULTETA, so he can CONTINUE HIS STUDIES – NADALJUJE ŠTUDIJ. When he becomes a PRAVNIK - ODVETNIK, he’ll be able to work at a COMPANY – v PODJETJU, at the COURT – na SODIŠČU, or have his own LAW OFFICE – ODVETNIŠKO PISARNO or ADVOKATURO. Today he also learned about Slovenia’s biggest POET – PESNIK, France Prešeren… the one who wrote Slovenia’s NATIONAL ANTHEM – HIMNA, the “Zdravljica”.

There are many things you can do against NESPEČNOST – INSOMNIA. You can try and RELAX – UMIRITI SE, you can COUNT SHEEP – ŠTETI OVCE. Sometimes MILK AND COOKIES – MLEKO IN PIŠKOTI help as well. But there is a backdraft in doing this, as our Fani learned… you might end up SNORING - SMRČATI… SLADKE SANJE – SWEET DREAMS Fani… hope you fall asleep soon…

Telling time in Slovene is making life even more complicated for Dave. He’s trying TO UNDERSTAND – DA RAZUME, but it IS COMPLICATED – JE KOMPLICIRANO. Let’s do a quick recap: WHAT TIME IS IT is KOLIKO JE URA, and for example: POL-ŠTIRI is HALF-PAST THREE. ČETRT NA ŠTIRI is a QUARTER PAST THREE, and TRI-ČETRT NA ŠTIRI is a QUARTER TO FOUR. We wish you the best of luck!

Today Dave learned some very important words in Slovenian… TRGATEV is GRAPE HARVEST, ŠKARJE are SCISSORS or SHEARS, and the word for a BOX is ŠKATLA… or maybe it's GAJBA... or... KIŠTA! Let's just say »škatla« for now!

So, Dave has learned about a common Slovenian habit… You have to take off your shoes and put on SLIPPERS – COPATI when you go into someone's house. You can't wear FLIP-FLOPS - NATIKAČI, or SANDALS - SANDALE. It's also not a good idea to wear your SOCKS – NOGAVICE (ZOKNI), and definitely don't go BAREFOOT – BOS/BOSONOG... But the most important thing is not to be TRMAST - STUBBORN.

It’s seems Dave’s not ready for Thursday yet but he learned some Slovene today. He learned that LOUD is GLASNO, ART is UMETNOST, RAINBOW is MAVRICA. And the colours: RED - RDEČA, YELLOW - RUMENA, ORANGE - ORANŽNA, GREEN – ZELENA and BLUE - MODRA. Now he knows an EXPERT is STROKOVNJAK and THURSDAY - ČETRTEK is almost here… ??

Today Dave learned that a VRSTA is a QUEUE, to be V VRSTI means to be IN A QUEUE, and when you’re NA VRSTI it means it’s YOUR TURN. Dave was smart enough to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT – SE JE NAROČIL, which means he did not have to WAIT – ČAKATI too long…
