Review of digital dialects.com


They have some learning games. I clicked on animals and they give you a list to look at on line that you can not copy or print off. Well, I don't have photographic memory and I need to physically manipulate things to learn them so I wrote up some flash cards. Then worked on figuring out the pronunciation. Overall, I think the site is good place to test your memory of the words. It doesn't give you the pronunciation so you have to go elsewhere for that.

I started writing the slovak book for my family again by longhand in a notebook. Right now I'm following the vocabulary from digital dialects. Then looking up the words in my dictionary for pronunciation. Then looking at my other 2 slovak learning books for additional pronunciation guidance. One thing nice about Slovak is that it is mainly pronounced the way it is spelled. 

Somár for donkey is not in my dictionary. I found an error in one of my old posts. http://simplyslovak.blogspot.com/2008/06/animals-is-has.html Krava is cow. Not Kava. Káva (f) is Slovak for coffee. Need to fix that post. There done. It's fixed. I like how I have the page set up. I may do the same format. Right now I am just learning vocabulary. Grammar is a little more difficult in Slovak.

I looked at http://www.digitaldialects.com/ablico/about_contact.htm . It appears that it's OK to link to them as the material on my blog is free. I can contact them at dd@digitaldialects if I have any questions.
