In the last two episodes I told you about some of the caves in Slovakia. Today I’m going to talk about Slovak volcanoes. In the Slovak lesson, you will learn how to say “I am looking for …” in Slovak. Then we’re going to practice more sentences with accusative case in a short conversation that takes place in a hotel. For more advanced learners I have a short Legend of Jánošík.
