Language Courses

Good foreign language skills bring us numerous advantages. Moreover, knowledge of foreign languages is indispensable in education as well as in modern science. The School of Humanities of the University of Nova Gorica thus offers you the opportunity to learn foreign languages at various levels and gain an insight into the target cultures.

• Course of Basic Slovene Language (A1) – winter semester
• Course of the Slovene language (B1) – summer semester
