Anna in Slovenia 
Hi Anna! I’m a Brazilian, learning Slovene because my partner is also Slovenian 🙂
I’m really happy to have found your channel on Youtube and this blog.
Slovene seems a bit difficult for me as well. Webpages like yours help a lot though!
Congratulations, you share your knowledge in a simple and organised way.
Thanks for that!

hello, you might be able to find some videos on Youtube. Otherwise, this website can read Slovene text, so it can give you an idea of the pronunciation: eBralec ( https://ebralec.si/branje/).

The most common will be:

Which translate into “All the best for your birthday. Great health and happiness. Let all your secret wishes be fulfilled.
