Smile

Slovaks appreciate a smile with a greeting.

💡

Drop the pronoun

You don't need to say 'Ja' every time. 'Som študent' is perfectly natural.

💡

The 'ne-' Rule

Always check for 'ne-' on your verb. If it's missing, you aren't negating the action.

When in doubt, use Vy

It is always safer to be formal than informal.
