There's a long way to a healthy lifestyle for Dave and Fani, but they‘ve started… And Dave has also learned TO AGREE - STRINJATI SE. A RUN –TEK is a GOOD IDEA – DOBRA ZAMISEL and a WARM-UP – OGREVANJE is very IMPORTANT – POMEMBNO. He now also knows that ANKLES are GLEŽNJI, TO CIRCLE is KROŽITI, and that NECK is VRAT in Slovene. As Fani said, HAM AND EGGS – JAJCA IN SLANINA are not healthy, but a smoothie is, especially when it contains GREENS –ZELENJE like SPINACH – ŠPINAČA, BROCCOLI – BROKOLI and KALE –OHROVT.

Dave is very lucky that cleaner Milena is so HELPFUL - USTREŽLJIVA. Today he learned that GNJAVITI is TO BOTHER/TO PESTER, GARDEROBA is WARDROBE, KUHAR is COOK, LUŠTEN or LUŠTNA is CUTE, GRENKO is BITTER, TREZEN is SOBER, PIJAN is DRUNK … And a lot of new ŽGANJICE - SPIRITS were presented to him: BOROVNIČEVEC - BLUEBERRY SCHNAPPS, VILJAMOVKA - WILLIAMS PEAR SCHNAPPS, HRUŠKOVEC - PEAR SCHNAPPS but sweet, TAUŽNTROŽA, TRAVARICA… and SCHNAPPS with MEDICINAL HERBS – ZDRAVILNA ZELIŠČA …. We can only hope Dave has a very good memory :)

So, the FIGHT – PREPIR is over. The morning is GOOD – DOBRO, Fani is not ANGRY – JEZNA anymore. And Dave learned that I’M SORRY is ŽAL MI JE. US TWO/WE is MIDVA, NOT FAIR is NI POŠTENO, APARTMENT is STANOVANJE and the RULES are PRAVILA. A PROMISE is OBLJUBA and their KITCHEN – KUHINJA is now CLEAN – ČISTA. Dave also learned that Fani loves those kinds of SURPRISES – PRESENEČENJA.

It's pretty tense at Dave and Fani‘s. But no matter what, Dave is learning Slovene in every situation… Today he is mostly shocked, but still he learned that MOVIE/FILM is FILM, SERIOUS is RESEN, WRONG is NAROBE and a MESS is NERED. To WASH DISHES is OPRATI POSODO, to TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE - ODNESTI SMETI, a WASHING MACHINE is a PRALNI STROJ and to WASH HAIR – is UMITI LASE. And now he also knows what it looks like when Fani gets really MAD – JEZNA. Let’s wait until tomorrow to see how the fight continues...

Dave can wake up early, even on Sundays … if it's a SUNNY DAY – SONČEN DAN and if the EARLY HOUR – RANA or ZGODNJA URA has sense. His motivation is high as soon he realizes that NAREZEK is a MEAT PLATE (COLD CUTS) with DOMAČA PAŠTETA - HOME MADE PATE and ZASEKA – MINCED LARD with ONION – ČEBULA… He even forgets about all the attributes of his friend's new mistress: DOLGE NOGE – LONG LEGS, ZELENE OČI – GREEN EYES and VELIKE USTNICE – BIG LIPS.

Today Dave went NAKUPOVATI - SHOPPING to the NAKUPOVALNO SREDIŠČE – SHOPPING CENTRE.He got a new SRAJCA - SHIRT, MAJICA - T-SHIRT, KAVBOJKE – JEANS... but he didn't buy any HLAČE - TROUSERS. Fani wanted to get him a new 'BUNDA' or WINTERCOAT... in April. And Dave learned that you need to change quickly in the CHANGING ROOMS - KABINE.He might need to bring a book with him next weekend though on his next trip for “nakupovanje”.

Today Dave feels the atmosphere of a GASILKA VESELICA – a FIREFIGHTER'S PARTY. He met a lot of VESELI LJUDJE – HAPPY PEOPLE and learned a few new words: NARODNA NOŠA – NATIONAL COSTUME, ŠKORNJI are BOOTS, OSVEŽILNO means REFRESHING, DEŽEVATI is RAINING, KRANJSKA KLOBASA is a CARNIOLAN SAUSAGE, PLES is DANCE and ROŽICA is small ROSE.

Today Dave's workout was DIGGING – KOPANJE with a SHOVEL – z LOPATO. He learned that Fani's mother has a HERB GARDEN – ZELIŠČNI VRT where she grows HERBS – ZELIŠČA. There are some VEGETABLES - ZELENJAVA that we PLANT – SADIMO, and some that we SOW – SEJEMO… For a big FAMILY – DRUŽINA it’s important to have a big GARDEN – VRT. Oh, and MELISSA (LEMON BALM) – that's MELISA – an herb.

Today Dave learned that POPOLDAN is AFTERNOON, DOPOLDAN is MORNING, POČITEK is REST, GLAVOBOL is a HEADACHE, PREHLAD is a COLD, ČASOPIS is a NEWSPAPER, or 'CAJTNG' if you live in Štajerska, 'SCHNAPPS' is seen as a cure for many ailments… and, no, Jože does not work as a secret agent… He just finds things ZANIMIVO - INTERESTING.

Dave and Fani are a couple, which means there’s two of them. And when THEY want to describe what THEY’RE doing, they have to use the first person of the Slovene dual form, which ends with the letters “v” and “a”. For example, THE TWO OF US – MIDVA: PLETE-VA - KNIT, DELA-VA - WORK, se POGOVARJA-VA - TALK, SEDI-VA - SIT, POSLUŠA-VA - LISTEN, se SMEJI-VA - LAUGH, se OBJEMA-VA - HUG, PLAVA-VA - SWIM, TEKA-VA - RUN, SMUČA-VA - SKI, PIJE-VA - DRINK, JE-VA - EAT in se STRINJA-VA - AGREE.
