Slovenian is a South Slavic language (like Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, Bulgarian). Slovene is a romantic language because it has the singular beside the plural and also the dual (speaking about two people). To work in Slovenia, you need to speak and write in Slovenian.
We have an exceptional variety of programs and learning modules, including our in-house developed learning board game Lingopoly, to help everyone!
We will teach you everything you need, from the alphabet on all the way to be able to excel in fluent conversation at work, tourism, casual chat or meeting new people.
We offer different levels, from the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels.
Do you want to start for FREE? No problem, we prepared that for you!
My girlfriend is a foreigner and because she is moving to Slovenia, she wants to learn Slovenian. I don’t know how to teach it because I have no idea how the mother tongue is taught with all our declensions and suffixes. Can you help her with Slovene for foreigners?
We can help! We have a very well-developed Slovenian language program for foreigners, with which we help students learn Slovenian step by step and enjoy it. We shouldn't overwhelm them with all the rules and endings right from the start.
In the foreground is communication, new words with which we build sentences, and only through concrete examples in dialogues and in sentences, we help them with rules, as with shortcuts to more and more correct expressions. The courses are held both online via video conference and live here in Ljubljana.
The bonus that our students have is the SOL (Study Online Language) online platform, which allows many added exercises with instant solutions, audio and video clips for listening and imitation, graphic visual display of vocabulary and grammar, phonetic exercises, songs and cultural highlights. You can also surprise her with a very useful and fun gift, a set of board games for learning and consolidating Slovenian Lingopoly - Who are they? At the same time, they will have fun together and strengthen their Slovenian.
Our brand can be translated into a "city of languages". Our mission is to bring closer an approachable method of experiencing and communicating in one’s desirable language(s).
We offer live courses at our location Tržaška 132, Ljubljana - Vič.
We offer courses also online - we use the Zoom app. This allows trainees to connect from any location.
In internal courses, the teacher can also teach at your place at the company or at home.
Yes, you can. Check it HERE (click).
If you are interested in learning in a group, we will let you know when the next free presentation hour is via the form through which you sign up. If you are applying for a course in the middle of the year, we invite you to attend one meeting in an existing group for free to find out whether this is the right group for you.
In the case of individual courses, we offer you a free 30-minute meeting with a teacher in which you learn something new, as well as talk about what kind of program you want. This free meeting is not binding and you will not be obliged to attend the course.

We are starting a Slovene course for beginners in Ljubljana. The course will be held on Thursdays...

STUDENT’S OPINIONS ON US:
Overall RatingBefore I started this course I only knew a few basics words in Slovene. Now after 6 months I can have a basic conversation and understand a lot of things. I can jump into conversations and be myself, meaning I can express my emotions and desires. During this 6 months I thought to give a few times, thinking how hard the language is. But with a support from my teacher Bojana keeping me motivated and giving me the right explanations made me continue with the course. I totally recommend this language school due to the amazing support you will have, day or night, you will get always your doubts taken. There’s an amazing materials support, pdf files and also a platform online with all the exercises you learned to practice whenever you want. Bojana, hvala lepa za vse 😊
I would add another star, but I'm not that literate. Thank you Of course, many thanks to Prof. Matthew
As an American expat, I have taken 3 different languages at Jezikovno Mesto and highly recommend it. Two of the languages were taught by the owner and they were consistently interesting and engaging for the students. It is a very personable organization that is willing to work around your level and needs. Jezikovno Mesto is a great choice when considering where to learn your next language.
I believe that Language City, with its freshness, interesting tools and varied approach to teaching, is a real addition to the flood of language courses and a serious competitor to already established language schools. I want it not to become a "big city" because then it would lose its charm.
What Do I like about this business - everything! Both of my teenage children attend classes in this language school and if teenager is happy and goes to SCHOOL with smile on its face, than parents are more than satisfied. Recommendations for both, live and online classes, for all ages and language level. Learning groups are perfectly matched and communication with school is easy.
