BEFORE YOU START
Straight answers.
Is this a genealogy research service?+
No. Lessons focus on Slovak language and conversation. You can bring family names or places as learning material.
What if my family used a dialect?+
Your tutor can separate standard Slovak from regional or inherited forms when the difference is clear.
Am I too old to start?+
No. Lessons are private, paced around you and built for adult learners rather than school-style memorisation.
