instead of trying to learn the books by heart we worked in small groups and looked for the information ourselves. I think it was more practical way to learn than by cramming

Final comments

Slovenia is a very beautiful country. it's definitely worth to travel around in small villages and in country side. I would recommend to go to the coastal area and lake Bled in the summer time and northern parts of the country and the skiing resorts in the wintertime. It's practical to have a car in Slovenia, because trains are slow and quite expensive - even for students.

Personal comments

I didn't speak a word Slovene when I went to Slovenia. I learned the language for one month prior to the beginning of the semester, but because the Slovenian students spoke English so well I didn't speak much Slovene with them during the semester. I learned a few phrases to be able to order food in restaurants and or buy clothes in shops, but that's pretty much it.

there are plenty of good cafes and restaurants - I liked especially the Mexican restaurants. The nightclubs were cool, but unfortunately quite often overcrowded
