Slovene is a Slavic language so anyone who's visited Poland, Czech Republic or Slovakia will pick up similarities in vocabulary. The same applies to other Balkan nations. Slovenia has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. For obvious reasons the locals won't expect a tourist to speak Slovene but knowing a few words and phrases is always appreciated. Although not in Slovenia Trieste has a Slovene legacy and is easily accesible. The border between Slovenia and its neighbours who are all EU states is non-existent these days.

Slovenia is great. Hiking near Triglav is amazing. The kocas are great places to eat in the hills. The trains are nice and clean. The dairy and honey are astounding, and the central market in Ljubljana is world-class for produce -- not quite the variety you'd find in Italy, but the quality is amazing. The people are super-great. I lived in a tiny village up north and bought fresh milk straight from my neighbor's cow -- best milk ever, anywhere. Oh, and the bicycle highway into Italy -- 'nuff said.

If you ever revise this video. I would add info about purchasing the car permit that is necessary to drive on the highways. Many European countries require them, and Slovenia is no exception. There is usually a place to purchase the permit at the first exit once entering the country. Some also offer it online. Check it out or you can pay a big fine. Slovenia is a great place to visit, though. In 8 weeks of European travel a couple of years ago, the 3 best meals we had were all in Slovenia!

To anyone who would want to come to Slovenija and speak slovne: Good luck! I did my first theree years of elementary education abroad before returning. The slovene classes were harsh. My grades on the subject took till high school to get to an acceptable level for me. Granted I am a native speaker and the level requierment was harsher, but just some of the basic grammar rules would probably make a total foreigner struggle a fair bit.

Tipping is optional! Don't be pressured about it, nobody looks you in any kind of way if you just thank and greet farewells.
