Welcome to Se vidimo! Slovene with Polona — your friendly guide to learning the Slovene language step by step Whether you’re a complete beginner or brushing up on what you already know, this podcast will help you build your Slovene skills with ease. We focus on clear explanations, practical vocabulary, everyday dialogues, pronunciation tips, and fun cultural insights from Slovenia. The first episodes are entirely in English (A0 level), and the amount of English then gradually decreases. Therefore, I recommend that beginners start with the first episode. Pozdravljeni na kanalu Se vidimo!
