The 19th Summer Course of Slovenian on the Slovenian coast took place from 9 – 22 July 2012 in Koper entitled “Hello, this is Slovenian Mediterranean”. This year there were 42 participants from 17 countries from all over the world: Austria, BiH, Montenegro, Finland, Croatia, Italy, Japan, Canada, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, . . .

Lessons were held every day from 9 – 12.30, and participants were divided into 4 groups, depending on their previous knowledge of Slovenian which was tested on the first day of the course, by both written and oral examination.

Apart from lessons which were very interesting and educational, we had other activities. Every day at 15.00hrs a Slovenian movie was played, e.g.: Kajmak i marmelada, Petelinjin zajtrk, Varuh meje, Gremo mi po svoje, . . . In addition, different workshops took place: Slovenian folklore, Slovenian folk music, Slovenian literature, Slovenian theatre; and two excursions were also organized – one to Dolenjska and one to Istria.

At the end of the course, a final examination took place to see how much the participants progressed.
Participants from our Association were Milica Glizijan and Nikola Kunjadić, who were in the third and fourth group, respectively.
