Ever wondered what 27 years of living in Slovakia does to your language skills? Join me, James Blore, as I take you through my long (and occasionally amusing) journey learning Slovak — from tongue twisters to unhinged phrasebooks, from chicken shops to an exploding appendix.

In this video, you’ll hear:

• How I survived early Slovak mistakes like shouting at a wrong number 🐔

• My favorite Slovak words and phrases: guľôčky, neidentifikovateľná, and more

• Tips and reflections on pronunciation, cases, and tricky inflections

• Why Slovak is both challenging and fun for English speakers

Whether you’re learning Slovak, interested in language humor, or just love listening to someone fumble delightfully through a foreign language, this podcast is for you!

📌 Topics covered:

• Slovak tongue twisters

• Wrong numbers

• Fantastic Slovak words

• Tips for language learning
