Just finished Season 1 - Christmas…in July! Thank you for making this podcast. I visited family in Slovakia in 2019, and was surprised when I returned there was no podcast where I could continue learning. My Slovak family recently visited us, which spurred me to look again for a podcast, so I’m thankful I found this! I have definitely learned the most from the culture segments. I wondered about the female last names differing from males, and asked my cousin, but wasn’t told and it seemed like a taboo topic so I never knew why. After listening, I now know :) The language itself is a bit overwhelming to wrap my head around - so many words! Bozena has an easy voice to listen to and makes it interesting when telling stories by changing the intonation of her voice (even though I have no idea what she is saying). Still, the episodes are very approachable for English speakers. Thanks again for a great podcast!
