  • Hello guys, in this video I am sharing some of the reasons why Slovak language is such a difficult language to learn.
    As you guys may have known already, I have been passively learning the language for more than a year now and I still dont get it! HAHAHA
    It is really difficult for me but I am trying my best so I can speak more to Slovak people someday.
    I hope you guys will like this video and if you, give it a thumbs up and subscribe my channel :)

    Never study grammar when you start with a new language, thats the biggest turnoff for many.
    Just learn VOCABULARY.
    People will understand even if you dont use the correct form /genitiv, dativ etc/
    So forget grammar :),
    and when you will have a strong vocabulary you come back and learn a bit of grammar, it will be a lot easier like that.

    "wings" and "apostrophes" we use instead of double, triple letters as in English.
    ch - č
    sh - š
    zh - ž
    j ,g - dž
    Here are English words in Slovak transcription:
    John - Džon
    shield - šíld
    chance - čéns
    good - gúd
    calling - kchólin
    wild - uvajld
    car - kár
    beautiful - bjútiful
    try again latter - čraj egen lejter ;-)
    etc... most of those sound are present in English too.
    Verb timing. In all Slavic languages one word in sentence contain more information. We can omit pronoun and sentence is fully understandable.
    For example:
    She have come. - (Ona)Prišla.
    Thats why is difficult. We omit prouns as they are not nessesery.
    Declination of nouns. English uses prepositions. Slovak use endings and prepositions.
    1 who? John - Džon
    2 from who? from John - od Džona
    3 to whom? to John - Džonovi
    4 who am I see? John - Džona
    5 n/a - salutation
    6 about who? about John - o Džonovi
    7 with who? with John - s Džonom

    Slovak must be crazy to learn - especially if you're not a native speaker, so great job :)
    I just have one note: the pronunciation of Ľ sort of varies depending on the region, and if you want to speak "correctly" - according to the central Slovakia accent or whatever - then yes, you have to pronounce the mäkčeň. However, I'm from Bratislava, and basically in Western Slovakia we simply don't bother and pronounce it as normal L. So you can totally fit in here if you don't mind the mäkčeň on Ľ - one less thing to worry about imo; that is if you choose to use a western Slovak accent.

    • @marekfu
      @marekfu Před 3 lety

      totaly agree with Tatiana. forget abou Ľ. Pronounce it as a normal L. If you try to say it correctly it actually sounds weird. ;-), say lalia rather than lialia. Even native speakers do not use Ľ very often. Maybe you should more think about "hlásky" and how to put hlásky toghether to pronounce a word. if you got it, it will be much easier to pronounce correctly.

    Hey Kim! Thank you for this video! 🙂 I love your examples, because im living in Austria and I try to learn my partner slovak, but sometimes is really big demotivation of those reasons, that u mentioned in video 😄 maybe some tipps for u: try to speak ť like t + j (jot like in german- not like džej 😃) - it really helps, because when u try to speak really fast, u have nearly the same sound like ť (its more effective than tie)😅 the next is practicing soft and hard sounds of letters (in english u have also some soft sound of letters - e.g. breath - you say soft f instead of TH) - my partner heard by your talking that u make small difference between e.g. letter P (hard) and letter B (soft), I think your husband know what im talking about (u can ask him for more info) 🙃 just keep going girl!!

    You're doing fine ! It takes years to become really profficient enough in another language, especially a wholly different one than Tagalog or English. The "mäkčeň" means literally "softener" - pretty much its exact function, since it softens the consonants it's used on. :-)

    A tip for promunciation of Ľ: pronounce it as regular L. Many Slovaks don't pronounce Ľ correctly themselves, and for example instead of "Ľúbim ťa" (I love you) they say "Lúbim ťa", which means the same thing, but it's not gramatically correct in punctuation. Or the word "Ľad" (ice), where I live we just say "Lad". Or adjective "Ľadový" (icy) is pronounced as "Ladový".
    It's so especially in the western and southern parts of Slovakia. From my experience the more to the north you go, the more Ľ you will hear. It's actually very common and natural to say Ľ only to make Czechs mad when we force them to say the word "guľôčka".
    So don't worry about Ľ at all and just say L.

      I totally agree. If you live somewhere for more than say, half a year, not at least trying to at least learn the most basic stuff, is not only kinda stupid and impractical, but also ...ignorant, at the very least, but I would even say it's somewhat rude.

      Deffinitely. I am living in Denmark and learning their hard language. People here appreciate it only if I say everything 100% correct, especially pronunciation makes a huge difference for them. But since I found some danish friends at work, it is easier to talk a bit and improve little by little :)

      @@SopranoHanzen this is a stupid thing, though, how some cultures have this mentality when they appreciate it only if you get it 100% correct, and get offended when you get something wrong (i've heard french are like that?), many language teachers in state-funded schools in my country are like that, and it creates a huuuge psychological block towards using a language and thus progressing in it...

      @@MidnightSt unfortunately Danes are very sensitive about their language and as they do not pronounce All the letters and they have 18 different sounds for vawels they Can not understand you if you say something vety different, Then they switch to english. and they are not patient enough to wait until you say a sentence slowly, especially in Copenhagen where the life goes fast. :D. And the same thing is in Slovakia, but at least Slovaks always try to help you and understand your effort to talk. The only way to learn it is to talk and make mistakes. Since I have found some nice danish friends, it is getting better with my danish :D

    Zaujímavý pohľad na slovenčinu očami cudzinca. Netušil som že pre cudzincov je slovenčina taká ťažká i keď som vedel že ťažká pre nich bude najmä v skloňovaní.

    native slovak speaker here, you can seperate the word to make it easier so instead of "dol´ava" you can say "do-l´a-va" it's a way kids learn longer words but when the words are complicated I use it too.
    .
    funny thing happened in my english class. We were wrighting biography and my classmate Samo (there are a lot of Samos) wrote something along the lines of "they lived in Kremnickej Bani" and this 'word bending' is captured in diferent charts depending if it is a noun, adjective, pronoun, verb or number
    ps, I love your acent

I have just little "zlepšovák" for you - tool to help you make learning easier, .. I live in west SK, not far from Bratislava.. and we never use the letter - ľ - => u will never need it in the west part :D I have never ever said " doľava" in my life, i say dolava. It ´s hard even for me to say that letter :D

    As a Czech speaker, if you find Slovak difficult, try Czech language. It is a little easier with that "de, te, ne" have always a wedge above if you need to soften it, and we soften less. On other hand, we have "ř" with words like "řeřicha". 🙂

    If you struggle with the pronunciation of Ľ, this way might help you: don't touch the roof of your mouth by the point of your tongue (like we do when we pronounce L). Touch it either by the up or bottom side of your tongue and then say L.
