      Yep, I as half southern Austrian can agree. They are like our little step brother, raised by a slavic dad and the same germanic mother we had.
      We have the same joy for mountaineering, drink wine and Schnaps and enjoy dancing Polkas to the Oberkrainer-style music with the Steirische. And it could be possible, that they were formally a western slavic tribe, since the Czechs also have the same destinies for drinking Beer and dancing to Polkas. ^^

    I'm a Brit living in Slovenia, and oh boy the difficulties for people learning the language... yeah.. tell me about it... It makes you feel especially stupid when like you said 2-3 languages for everyone. The weird thing is it depends which border is the closest to you as to what the 3rd language is... Near Italy? Italian it is! Near Austria? Slide into German! etc. The introduction of a 3rd language of English across the country I’ve found is usually dependent on the age/ generation gap (which with their history makes sense). If someone is under 35 you’ve got about a 90% chance that they speak English. Over 35 is a bit hit and miss.
    Food is great, wine is fantastic (although other spirits made at home are fun. Got given a home-made bottle with a sticker that said 24%-49% alcohol they didn’t know exactly), and if you start your day early enough you can wake up in the flat farming plains of Europe, go skiing and sunbathing on the coast all in the same day... which is just stupid...
    The traditions parts you mentioned were a little off from what I've learnt. Each valley (YES VALLEY!!!) has its own traditions and at times language (yes tell me about it); the 212 municipalities give you an idea. The 3-day birth of a child party for example is 1 day where I am based. At weddings it's tradition in some parts for the father of the groom to provide a wheelbarrow (or modern-day trolley) filled with multiple gifts for the mother of the bride but not anywhere else in the country. Traditionally these would-be things like fruits, vegetables (farming powerhouse tractor reference coming through) and alcohol... lots of that.
    If anyone does read this and wants to ask for experiences feel free 😊 Most of them are amazing 😉

The people are great, food and wine is awesome, the language differences across the country are highly annoying though. I am not the best at languages, so Slovene is a real challenge to me (but i do keep trying!), however with full time employment and a small child, time is limited. Therefore finding out certain words i learn don't apply in other areas of the country annoys me to no end!

I live in Tolmin, so as someone who attended annually I'm pretty sad. Our biggest music festival and biggest metal festival in Europe, gone just like that. The only condolence is the fact that it usually takes about twenty years for our government to build anything so welp

    Fun fact, your demographic intro (11:54), these guys in black suits with stripes and hats, represent slovenian folklore, they are called "kopjaši". Basically non-married single males, who can be "kopjaši" only, if they attended folklore dance for several years, or if they inherited uniform from their father/grandfather. Their task is to accompany grooms at weddings and bring joy and happiness and dance rythm to the wedding and much more.

    As an Austrian, I feel culturally more affiliated to Slovenia than Germany or Switzerland. Despite the common language, and entertainment market, we don’t have so many things in common with D and CH.
    Slovenia has many caves and similar landscapes but sunnier, they love wine, they drink schnapps and keep bees, just like we do. Similar dishes. The accordion is so typical for both of our countries, and I think our mindsets must be alike too.
