This course in Slovene is aimed at those who have never learnt the language before or who want to build on existing basic skills. It assumes no previous knowledge of other languages and places an emphasis on communication skills. The course is based on the 'Council of Europe Threshold' guidelines on language learning and exercise material is provided within the graded structure. Native speakers have recorded the audio content, which is available to supplement the course on CD (0340926643); or the book and CD may be bought together in a pack (0340926635). This 2nd edition has been revised by Natasha Stani , who has taught Slovene at the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Ministry of Defence.
