Any Slovak speakers around?

[kotov]

I was looking for some advice on where/with what materials I might go about learning Slovak. It's not an urgent need but I have an idea for a second or perhaps third project subsequent to my dissertation for which I would need to read Slovak. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd check out Pitt's summer program. Pitt is the big place for Slovak studies.

Alright, sweet, thanks.

 

It makes me sad to see that they're not teaching Romanian either. IU used to teach it during the summers (I took it there a few years ago), but they don't offer it anymore either. I guess Arizona State is basically the only way to do a summer program for it anymore (also did that program and it's great, but not everyone can travel to Romania for a month).
