Combining a clear, practical and accessible style with a methodical and thorough treatment of the language, it equips learners with the essential skills needed to communicate confidently and effectively in Slovene in a broad range of situations. Each unit presents a wealth of grammatical points that are reinforced with a wide range of exercises for regular practice.
