Slovak - The Language That Overwhelms Me

Image by Marek Bennett

"Ako sa máš?"

I love to hear my dad speak in his native language. He has several friends with whom he communicates via Skype, and so I sometimes get to hear them speak. 

It is really a neat language, that Slovak, but as an adult, it quite overwhelms me with just the slight inclination to learn the language. Those Slavic languages are difficult, although probably not as difficult as learning an entire new alphabet like some languages.


Interestingly enough, about 5 million people speak Slovak in Slovakia and abroad...hopefully I will make 5 million and 1 someday as it is on my bucket list to learn the language.

But where to start? I have done a beginner search on the best places to learn the language but I need to dig into the research a little bit more.

If anybody has suggestions on the best method for learning a new language, let me know!

Until the next time, Dovidenia.
