Today we will be talking about Slovenian airport vocabulary. First, let’s start with the Slovenian language. What is it?
The Slovene language is an indo-European language spoken in Slovenia and some parts of Australia and Italy. The Slovenian language is the official language In Slovenia, which is highly similar to Bulgarian Serbian Croatian, and Macedonia.
A Visit To Slovenia
When I searched about Slovenia culture and its historical places, there was a lot to visit. So, me and my friends made a plan to visit this beautiful land. We booked our tickets online. After two days, we had a flight. We packed our luggage and got ready.
On the way, one of my friends reminded us about the Slovene language, and wondered how we would communicate and understand Slovenian people. I gave them an idea about using Ling. It is one of my favorite apps. It helps us learn all the details about exact words and phrases in Slovenian.
We reached the airport in one hour and one of the men asked me, Kako pride na letališče means how do I get to the airport? I gave them a reply O man! You are at the airport. Just Kidding! I asked the air hostess, Kako si? And she replied to me, v reduce sem. kaj pa ti. In this way, I feel the power of the Ling App.
