    I'm not positive if this is the correct forum for this, if not, sorry mods!


    myself and a LARGE group of people on scouting ireland are headed to Croatia and Slovenia on saturday, i was just wondering does anyone have a url for a decent online translator.
    I have phrase books, but things like,

    "im a scout from ireland and im living on 2€ a day" isnt commonly found in phrase books

    any ideas???

    Hey there! Glad to hear your headed in my direction! I always get excited when some Irish people turn up here! As for the language its not two you will pick up quickly! You will be fine with English for the most part, so i wouldn't worry too much about it. But since you asked, here are a few,

    Hvala, thank you,

    Govorite anglesko, do you speak English,

    Kje je stanisce prosim? Where is the toilet please!

    and yes and no are, da and ne.

    Oh by the way thats Slovene! My Croatian is not great but again you'll be fine with English.

    Enjoy it! And you never know might bump in to you in Ljubljana!
    Ciao!!

    Today i was in International bookshop around the corner from Reads buying a Slovene language cd and book where I saw a slovene phrase book.

    If you head along Nassau street, and after passing Reads it's the next right, and it's 2 doors up...

    It's definately there

    Oh you're in Cork, I'm talking about Dublin, sorry!

    You'll be mocked for attempting to speak Slovene.
    Because none of their neighbouring countries are interested in the language, so they won't understand why you would want to try.

    I agree,it will be so easier to speak english,balcan is place where everyone knows english,especially on places where tourists come,so i think you can earn some slovenian words for yourself but its better to use english
