Hi Lubos,
there is also the Slovak Spectator, which is pretty useful when it comes to news from the Slovak region.

Good job on the site, keeps getting better…
Thanks! Just added it.
For recipes on Slovak food (sometimes with balkan twist), unfortunatelly only in Slovak see http://baranek.blog.sme.sk/r/11169/Varime-s-medvedom.html
Novinky a recenzie zo Slovenska. Cestovatelsky portal http://www.mojeslovensko.sk a recepty na http://www.papampijem.sk
slovaks and czech on the western coast on facebook
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.

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

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.
http://slovnik.azet.sk/preklad/anglicko-slovensky
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
