Today's episode is about Mother’s Day; its short history in the USA and Slovakia. In the Slovak lesson, you will learn plural of inanimate (not living) nouns. I will also teach you how to say “Happy Mother’s Day!” in Slovak. At the end of this episode, you can find my story called “The best mom in the world.”

Episode notes
In the last episode I talked about the customs and traditions on May First in Slovakia. Today, with Mother’s Day approaching, I want to talk a little bit about its history. In the Slovak lesson, we’re going to learn plural of inanimate (not living) nouns. I will teach you how to say “Happy Mother’s Day!” in Slovak. At the end of this episode, you can find my story called “The best mommy in the world.”
