Hello all,
I am new to the forum and really to learning languages. I am currently considering starting up Slovene and trying to
figure out if it would be worth my effort.
Basically, I would like to know anyone's experiences with Slovene and how difficult you found learning/studying it,
particularly coming from an English or Romance language background.
Thanks for any help or advice on this one.

Take a look at these threads.
Online resource for Slovenian and more!

It's been a while since I was studying Slovenian but it's worth the effort if you're going to Slovenia or have personal reasons to learn it. Just make sure that you get a good course in it. "Colloquial Slovene" by Marta Pirnat-Greenberg is probably your best bet unless you can get something from Slovenia or you have enough reading knowledge in German to use this free online course. I recall there being a couple of natively-produced courses for beginners when I was browsing in bookstores in Slovenia some time ago but I didn't get the titles or ISBNs.
Avoid either of the Slovenian courses by Andrea Albretti (i.e. Teach Yourself Slovene and the old edition of Colloquial Slovene) as they're not worth your time (especially if you're learning on your own).

Thank you Chung. Great information. It's too bad there aren't more resources to learn Slovenian and that my ability
in German is low.
