   Hi Lubos,

   there is also the Slovak Spectator, which is pretty useful when it comes to news from the Slovak region.
   http://www.spectator.sk/

   Good job on the site, keeps getting better…

     Thanks Valerian. I checked out the group and turns out I know few people who are already members. It’s a small (Slovak) world in the USA.

     (I also slightly modified your comment since the URL wasn’t linking properly)

   Milí priatelia slovenského jazyka!
   To all friends of slovak language!

   Je nový anglicko-Slovenský slovník dict.cc (http://desk.dict.cc/) v internete. Vsetci mozu zapísat do toho slovníka slová aj frázy. Potom ini pouzivatelia kontroluju ale opravuju tie slová. Ja sa ucím po slovensky od dvoch rokov a tam zapísem moje prvé slová.
   Zial nie sù to mnohì pouzivatelia – pomoc je vítaný! Mohli by ste prosím navstivit internetovú adresu http://desk.dict.cc/ (« Mitmachen ») a kontrolovat niekolko slov. (To je samozrejme bezplatne!)

   There`s a new english-slowak online-dictionary “dict.cc” (http://ensk.dict.cc/) where everyone can participate in posting or correcting words or phrases.
   Sad to say there are only few participating in the English-Slovak section. So help is needed (http://desk.dict.cc/ „Contribute“) and new participants are cordially invited
   Of course it`s all for free!

   Dakujem pekne
   Many thanks and best regards
   Susanna (Austria)

     Cau Susanna, thanks for the link and good luck with your learning of Slovak. Looks like you have made quite a bit of progress already. Being in Austria, you probably have easy access to Slovakia and to Slovak language books. But, if you are looking for books online, you can order Slovak language books from panorama.sk, http://www.panorama.sk/go/zoznam.asp?lang=en&sv=3&dr=27. Wish you all the best, Slovak (and all other Slavic languages) are quite difficult and I admire any non-native who manages to master the intricacies of Slovak grammar.

   Sorry – I mixed up the links for the german-slovak and the english-slovak section of the dictionary “dict.cc” in my fist comment some minutes ago.

   It’s http://ensk.dict.cc/ for the english-slowak online-dictionary and http://desk.dict.cc/ for german-slovak.

   Best regards
   Susanna

     sorry but that site is sooo off in translation. Google language tools will do much better

     E.g., I typed “cukor” and got interpretation for “kufor, svokor, vrecko, utorok, uhorka, etc.) but none for “cukor”

     however, there is a link on that page to anglicko-slovensky slovnik, and that got most of things right.

       Sure – you`re right, if you look at it that way. For the time being, there are undoubtably more entries in http://slovnik.azet.sk/ or http://webslovnik.zoznam.sk/.
       But the benefit of a dictionary based on user-contributions is the possibility to add all the words or phrases you consider useful. This might be special cooking-vokabulary as well as any other.
       For me, the fascination lies in building up a high quality vokabulary rather than in competing in quantity…

       Best regards
       Susanna

   Lubos, did I tell you about The Monastery in Norfolk, VA? It is a great restaurant owned by
   Anna and Adolf Jerabek – he is from Morava, she is from eastern Slovakia. Fabulous food. They advertise it as austrian/hungarian/german, but it has many dishes just like at home in Slovakia.
   http://www.443granby.com if you want to check it out.

    HI, my cousins in Slovakia just found your website for me. It’s a gem and can’t wait to start using the recipes. Added bonus is the grammar lessons and other links. Beats searching the web. Thank you and keep it coming.

    Hello everybody,
    I’m glad for findind this website! I’ve sent the link to my boyfriend (he is spanish) and he’s trying the recipes at home one after another. He love’s our food!
    I’d like to contribute here as well! So, I found in web an offer of intensive courses of slovak language in Bratislava.

    http://blaisepascal.sk/kurzy_slovenciny.html

    The price for the course is very good and I made my german course in Vienna in that language school so I can really recommend them.
    Maybe it can help to some eager slovak learners

      Thank you Lucia! I just added the link. It’s good to know about this company. I am thinking about moving back to Slovakia for a year or two after I finish school to spend time with my family, and my girlfriend will likely come along. She doesn’t speak any Slovak. She is Colombian – so kind of similar to your boyfriend over there.

      what is “Haluska pan”? If I knew, maybe I could help but seriously I don’t know what it is.

        per Lubos suggestion, he thinks it’s haluskar, easy way how to drop halusky into boiling water.

        I bought one like this on the last Czech Slovak bazaar, it comes from this company
        http://www1.tescoma.com/en/scripts/katalog.php?gid=1050010000&id=643914

        it’s Italian based not sure they ship to the US. Darn, one of these days I’ll dive into it and start internet import/export business with Slovak food and utensils

    Another link to consider.

    My old friend from Texas referred me to this meat place in his neighborhood, that also sells and delivers over the net. It’s run by old czech butcher family making their own sausages, bacon, smoked meat, fresh meat, etc.

    He sent me a gift package some years ago, and it was pretty good!
