know a little bit more about you but it's time to discover your country slovenia is a small country 00:01:58

but we want to know what makes it special. 00:02:05

So here are our questions about Slovenia. 00:02:08

How would you describe Slovenia in three words? 00:02:11

In three words? 00:02:15

Okay. 00:02:16

It's green, it's small, and there are nice people. 00:02:16

And what is the most beautiful place in your country? 00:02:22

Portoroš, Piran. 00:02:25

So you have many, no? 00:02:27

Yes. 00:02:28

These are the coastal cities with the beads. 00:02:29

We also have Lake Bled and Bohin. 00:02:33

They are very interesting. 00:02:37

Do you live in the capital? 00:02:38

I live in the capital, yes. 00:02:39

I live on the countryside. 00:02:42

What is something about Slovenia that foreigners don't know? 00:02:44

This is a tough question. 00:02:48

Nowadays, Slovenia is very touristy. 00:02:52

A lot of people come to Slovenia. 00:02:55

I think it's getting popular. 00:02:58

maybe they don't know that we were once part of a bigger country called yugoslavia and now we are 00:02:59

how many years we are independent till 1991 so it's 25 years wooden traditions what traditional 00:03:10

slovenian food should we try potica it's a sweet cake but it doesn't have cream it's uh like um 00:03:20

It's biscuit and filling. 00:03:28

Is there a funny or unusual tradition in Slovenia? 00:03:31

Maybe kurentovanie, carnival party, and we have traditional masks sent away in the winter. 00:03:35

They dress up in animals' skin, and they have bells around the belt, and they dance. 00:03:44

What is a typical celebration in your country? 00:03:52

Christmas. We bake potica. We make a Christmas tree. 00:03:55

School life. What time does school start and finish in Slovenia? 00:03:59

It starts at 8.20 and finishes around 1 or 2 o'clock. 00:04:03

It depends on the age of students. 00:04:09

Our kids go to primary school from the age of 6 till the age of 15. 00:04:12

So we have nine grades in primary school and the smaller kids finish earlier than the bigger kids, the older ones. 00:04:17

And what do children usually do during their breaks? 00:04:27

They are talking to each other, they are playing games. 00:04:31

Almost all the boys and some girls play football and the others just, I don't know, invent some other games. 00:04:36

yeah what would surprise slovenian students about our school that it starts so late they would be 00:04:44

super happy because some classes in slovenia they start already 7 30 i'm sure that now lots of people 00:04:51

will want to travel to slovenia thank you now we would know much more about slovenia but how much 00:05:02

do you know about spain let's find out it's game time welcome to two countries one challenge we are 00:05:10

going to read some sentences about slovenia and spain have to decide if they are true or false 00:05:17

teachers are you ready students you can play along too slovenia has a coastline on the adriatic sea 00:05:24

True. 00:05:32

The capital of Slovenia is Bratislava. 00:05:33

No. 00:05:37

Lake Bled has a small island with a church. 00:05:38

Yes. 00:05:42

And Spain and Slovenia had exactly the same school timetable. 00:05:43

No. 00:05:47

In Spain, people traditionally eat 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve to bring good luck. 00:05:48

Do you know that? 00:05:55

No. 00:05:56

I would think it's false. 00:05:57

No, it's true. 00:05:59

It's true. 00:06:00

so you two also do it everyone since you're a kid you watch it on tv all the family comes together 00:06:01

on tv you have it there's like a clock and every time the clock sounds you have to eat one grape 00:06:09

the thing is that it's kind of difficult because sometimes you have your mouth full of grapes and 00:06:15

you're not able to swallow them you have to eat one per second so it's like yeah and they're huge 00:06:21

grapes yeah that's really fun fact about spain yeah it said that you have to eat the 12 of them 00:06:27

to start the new year with lots of luck if you don't finish them in spain children usually have 00:06:35

dinner at six or seven o'clock in the evening yes true oh it's false i usually have dinner like 00:06:43

at eight or nine yeah eight thirty nine very late but and that's early eight is early 00:06:53

yeah but in Slovenia they usually have at six or seven o'clock so we were like 00:07:01

yeah Candela what time do you have dinner like nine or that I have dinner at 10 10 30 00:07:07

so it's usually very late in Spain people celebrate their name day as well as their 00:07:15

birthday is it true true in spain many people celebrating their saint's day especially their 00:07:22

name is associated with uh with the sign that it's like i don't know for me it's like a second 00:07:31

birthday it's the same in slovenia yeah yeah okay well done but now it's time for our next challenge 00:07:40

This one is a little bit harder. 00:07:49

Slovenian sounds very different from English and Spanish, 00:07:53

so we have a challenge for you, Nush and Varya. 00:07:56

You can teach us some Slovenian words that we will repeat. 00:07:59

And then we can teach you some Spanish words to you. 00:08:04

We will think three or four words. 00:08:07
