The course consists of four 45-minute lessons each day for a total of 20 lessons a week. Before the beginning of the course the participants will be placed in appropriate groups according to a short test (there are between 8 and 12 students in a group). Courses run from 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. The classes are held in Slovene; in beginners' groups, however, teachers sometimes resort to other languages, mostly English, for certain explanations. At the end of the course the participants will receive an official Certificate of Attendance of a Slovene language course at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana.
Summer School activities are not limited to language learning; there is also a varied social programme, where you can get acquainted with Slovene culture, history and contemporary reality, although we won't forget about having fun. The activities of the accompanying programme are held in the afternoons and evenings and are covered by the tuition fee. On Saturday, 11th July 2010, we will organise a whole-day excursion.
