While Dave puts his back into cutting down his and Fani's first CHRISTMAS TREE - BOŽIČNA JELKA, let's look at some of the words he's learned today. GOZD or GOŠA is WOODS. SVEŽI ZRAK is FRESH AIR. MRZLO is COLD, BOR is a PINE TREE, HRAST is an OAK TREE, STORŽ is an ACORN and SMREKA is a SPRUCE TREE. MAH is MOSS. JASLICE is a CRIB or NATIVITY SCENE. SEKIRA is an AXE and SEKATI is TO CUT DOWN a tree. I think that Dave has definitely earned a KUHANO VINO – MULLED WINE or two today.

Yes … Dave has become a real promoter of the Slovenian language among foreigners. It is not a COINCIDENCE – NAKLJUČJE that in this last episode he already teaches Slovenian words: BUČKINA JUHA is PUMPKIN SOUP, BRUSNIČNA OMAKA is CRANBERRY SAUCE, TELEČJA PEČENKA means ROAST VEAL… And if you still want to learn even more words find all the episodes of “Dave’s Challenge: Let’s Learn Slovene” on the Radio Si podcast!

Let's hope that the kids BEHAVE THEMSELVES – OBNAŠATI SE, while Fani goes off to the HEN PARTY or DEKLIŠČINA. Dave remembers only too well his STAG PARTY or FANTOVŠČINA all those years ago. He got his darling wife some NAKIT - JEWELLERY for their OBLETNICA - ANNIVERSARY. She's off to the party with a new NECKLACE - OGRLICA and BRACELET - ZAPESTNICA. HOW THOUGHFUL! - KAKO POZORNO!

A new chapter in our Irish-Slovene couple´s life as parents has begun - the growing of the BABY TEETH – MLEČNI ZOBKI. Babies tend TO DROOL – SLINITI SE and also keep PUTTING THINGS IN THEIR MOUTH – DAJEJO STVARI V USTA. When you massage a baby’s GUM – DLESEN, you also see the tooth coming out. Some babies grow their teeth with no problems, others tend to get a light FEVER – VROČINA or even DIARRHEA – DRISKA. Yes, parenting is not easy…

Oh, what an episode. Only GOOD NEWS – DOBRE NOVICE. And it is not a VIŠJA PLAČA – HIGHER SALARY. Dave just PASSED THE LAST EXAM – OPRAVIL ZADNJI IZPIT and he is a LAWYER – ODVETNIK now… Sure, Milena is really PONOSNA or PROUD of him. He also had NEVERJETNA SREČA – UNBELIEVABLE LUCK at the PRVI RAZPIS – FIRST TENDER and got a great job. All the other good news is just STRAWBERRY ON THE CAKE – JAGODA NA TORTICI.
