@@simonecappiello3937 no, it isn't better to speak English, it is always much better to be able to speak the local language because the connections you can create with the locals are stronger. Having said this, it is obvious that it is impossible to learn any language in the world and therefore knowing English is a good compromise and is "the easy way" to go for, but communicating in English is certainly not better than speaking the local language, speaking the local language is ALWAYS the best way
I’am french. The Slovak people seem to be nice people. I am impressed how you are speaking Slovak or tchèque. Have good trip. You are welcome in Corsica, its beautiful.
Villages like this are pretty common in Slovakia, he was literally in the middle of nowhere. Like the girls said, there is about 400 people living there, mostly elderly people because the younger families moved to bigger towns for work, education, services... Those villages will be turned into ghost towns several decades from now. @@kyeyuneman4150

A Slovakian girl i worked with was bragging about how beautiful Slovakia is and i was thinking yeah everyone says that about their own country. But i see she wasn't lying.
Great video. My best friend is from Slovakia, we met in 2007 in London, and from the time we met her family and friends have treated me like family. Slovakians are one of the most loveliest people I've ever met, real kind and helpful.... I'm impressed with how you speak the language so well.
Yeah people that are czech and Slovak can instantly recognize the lagnuage between Slovak and czech. But for people from different countries it's hard but yh.
Slovakians are very dear to us Czechs. They taught us how to be warmer and more socially open and we taught them how to be more industrious. Our spirit and their development both gained. Even after split, our cultural exchange is still very strong. When you cross the border between Czechia and Slovakia it just seems like a different region of the same country even after 30 years of split.
@@jan22150 it was political split, no referendum, Czechoslovakia was federation, so both sides had basically quite big autonomy and two prime ministers wanted to govern their parts with different philosophies/political programs. Slovakia wanted indipendence more, they felt like Czechs decided everything for them, Czechia was like a older brother with bigger population, multiple bigger capital city, historical indipendence and more international power. So Czechs were more like keep it, we are stronger together and Slovaks divide, we want our indipendence and you control us too much. But if there was referendum it would be like 80:20 in Czechia and 50:50 in Slovakia. But countries divided peacefuly and we enjoy perfect relations today, many put as an example of how these splits would look like, because 80-90% splits end up up in some war, crisis, uprising etc. Politicians even proposed to create some alliance in the past but the EU basically did all the things they proposed. There are still hundreds of thousands people with dual citizenship or Czechoslovakian citizenship. Its quite common that Slovaks go to Czechia for studies, since we have older and bigger universities free for them. The languages are more like dialects. Slovaks speak to us in Slovakian and we understand like 95% even as children.
Very impressive that you can converse in the local language!

I met some Slovak exchange students who came to USA during the summer season. The students were so nice, wonderful, and beautiful people. I spent my summer being friends to them. GREETINGS FROM USA TO SLOVAKIA.
Yes I was just there for 2 weeks , Poland, Hungry and Czech Republic.. one main thing that made it nice, relaxing, wonderful places on earth! One culture and people are not there!! No crying about being a victim, no major crime, no loud music blasting From cars, not having to walk on glass to not offend someone and be labeled a racist! No rap music, no mumbling English language.. NICE polite, clean countries .. Then you return to US watch the news it’s nothing but a certain group of people , moaning being victims , wanting something for free, calling everyone not like them a racist if they don’t get what they want. Crime and more crime ALL by 17% of a group in the entire US population! Absolute HEAVEN in Slovakia!!
Ooh this warmed my heart. I moved to Ireland and some days I miss Slovakia so much, so thank you for making me see my home country ! And I have never heard native English speaker speaking in Czech or Slovak , hats off for you, you are doing great!
I live in Denamrk for 3 years and I really miss my country Slovakia. The diference in hospitality of these two countries is enormous. I am so happy that I will return to zhis country what I can call home. Nice to hear all this conversations
Im danish and i found the opposite to be true. Slovaks dont pretend to care about formalities. Where as danes pretend to care by making small talk. But making friends is probably easier in slovakia as danes usually only keep a small circle.

I'm fascinated about how easily you get into conversations with people in another language! (You speak really great czech btw!) I can't even do that in my mother tongue lol. Great video, loved to see you explore that town with such enthusiasm!
Great video. Bit of a shame however the portrayal of the guy in the thumbnail of this video. He was a very knowledgeable and kind man. Good video though my friend 🇸🇰
He did the same thing when he was in Poland to another guy in the thumbnail. Pretty scummy way to get clicks and disrespectful to the guy in my opinion.
iam from czech republic and i just want to warn you in czech and slovakia you need to go the oposite direction of cars because its dangerous to walking with same direction on road ( if there is no path )
I think that law is everywhere but it’s not primordial. Its like jaywalking lol. (Which is legal in my country, but not within 50m of a zebra crossing haha)
One little improvement, 1:59 it is not Trabant, it is Lada Niva (Soviet). Also Trabant is not from Czechoslovakia, but from East Germany. The green car closer to you is IFA Multicar, small lorry, that was produced in Eastern Germany. I am new here, but I really like your content. Great work.
@@adamVLA Yes, excellent knowledge of cars, men! I'll add some more) This type of taillights appeared in 1993 after restyling (model Lada Niva 21213 or more recent models). Those. we can assume that the car was assembled after the USSR, in Russia
I'm practically not far into watching the video but I understand how friendly and accommodative the Slovaks are ; I love them . Hello to all Slovaks 🙌💌
This is so wholesome, keep doing what you love and collecting new experiences on the way! Happy to see some Slovak people being polite and hospitable, pretty refreshing after all we see from our country's people on the internet.
TBF I wouldnt be treated as good as you were and I am Slovak :D also really glad to see some people speaking nice fluent english like the girl who was sitting on the bench. Not sure if that is your real experience or you had to cut off many things but generally I think people were super nice to you to try to help you and show around even thought they could not speak english but their hand gestures/ slow talking and repeating stuff made it work. Well done Borinka.
Slovaks are pretty racist in comparison to other nations, wait until they have a large demographic of cross continental people too. That tends to rise racial hostilities
Finally I've found a real traveller. That's my dream as well, brother. Mostly travellers just go for big and famous cities, we need more people in the countryside, including down here in Brazil.
I've been to the Czech Republic for 2 weeks and it was the best vacation I have ever had. Just like the people shown in the clip, they are very friendly, they have the best beer and breathtaking scenery.
I often see videos and posts about visible minorities going to backwoods countries that have barely any immigrants from cross continental populations and acting surprised when they are treated well. Well, duh, no shit.. you’re an oddity there. If England or France had the Black population of Slovakia then people would be way more receptive of you visiting. There was an interesting documentary I watched about a group of Japanese Samurai touring Western Europe in the 1800’s. They were so impressed by how they treated like royalty with such respect. The thing is, now the French and English recognize that they are becoming a racial/ethnic minority in their own nation, so obviously and unfortunately they will be less welcoming to their perceived demographic substitutes.
18:20 in subtitles Inaudible, but the old man says "oný". This word does not have any specific meaning. It is something like "that one" and it is used when you can't remember how to say something.
Where I grew up in the 90’s I remember an Afroamerican male visiting the village with his Slovak wife for the first time. It wasn’t unusual since then for the most. I remember the villagers having respect for the couple, being welcome to them because he was the partner/ friend of. immidiatly a fam member. actually very refreshing for the Slovak folks 👍
It shocked her that you could communicate with her like that man. Excellent tour, Sir. Nice to know another nation have a neighbourhood looking like ours in the north of America.
I'm from England but I'm staying in Slovakia for 3 weeks because my mother comes from Slovakia. It was really interesting seeing the community here in Slovakia. Thank You for this video.
@@knowledgebornunderstanding8826 I come from one of the African countries (East Africa to be precise). I have interacted with a good number of people from different countries. But my experience with some Slovakia people was never good. On inquiry, people said Slovakians can be racist. Personally, I judge individuals, not entire country or group of people. This video shows that I was right not to judge the entire country.
@@rang3688 awesome you will very successful in this life , unlike Americans who throw the word racist around like a football that’s why I travel alone so my thoughts stay pure! I’m glad you also travel and meet other people
Just a complimentary note. "Dobrý den" is a magic word in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. I had a friend who lived in Prague and quite often had very noisy parties. But at the same time, when he met his neighbours during the day, he would greet everyone with a careful "Dobrý den" and all was forgiven. It's such a Czech charm- if you greet "Dobrý den", you are suddenly a fellow Czech.
Bruh you’re not Black you’re an African!! Black is the ethnic identity of Black America, no one else!! Race does not exist, therefore race “black” does not exist!! GET OFF OF THE NUTS OF BLACK AMERICA!!
I visited Zilina in 2017. I'm a South African with dark curly hair.I was pleasantly surprised by a few people who were curious to find out which country I was from.They were really friendly, kept smiling at me every time they made eye contact ☺️.Taking me back!Thank you☺️
I'm Nigerian living in Handlova, central Slovakia and also married to a Slovak. They are super friendly, hardworking and caring. Difficult language to learn to be honest but it's very interesting. Slovakia is like home for me. Edit: I've moved to Trencin 😉
4:07 "on the floor". It's not the floor. If it's outside mate, it's called the ground. I hear this all the time in videos from the UK, people referring to the ground as the floor. An easy way to remember the correct usage is : "Normally, the floor is what you walk on inside a building, and the ground is what you walk on outside." This is the way I was taught in school in the UK in the 1950s/60s. I have lived and worked in two other english speaking countries (currently in Canada) and the ground is never referred to as the floor in those countries. Is this the way it is taught in the UK now?
You know, more and more people of all ages are doing this in the UK. I'm always thrown a little when I hear people referring to the ground as the floor. I don't know where it's coming from! I see more of it when they show the police telling people to get down on the floor when they're standing outside on the street trying to arrest them 🤣🤣
Having watched this I've just realized how many of these cozy villages we have in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we just don't appreciate that 'coz we have some many of them :D and a big wow for how good you can speak Czech
9:50 BEST PART🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Granpa is EPIC👍👏 Excellent local folks from Borinka behaving very nicely. I just hope you'll get same or even better welcome and reactions like from these folks. You should know that Slovakia is a lot diversified in views for such a small country so don't take this as a norm everywhere you go😉 I am proud to be Slovak to see nice people like this!
Slovakia seems super❤ i love Slovakia really 🇸🇰i remember memories with Slovakia and all adventures and travel❤..i love your videos you show details and deep streets of Slovakia
Andre, no hard feelings. People hate diversity and racial mixing. This has nothing to do with racism. I am Serb and Slavic, and we do not like it either. You're alright as a tourist, but not as a person who will mix with our woman. A mixed family is not good.
I was looking too, it was russias lada niva, car that was rusted at the moment it came out of fabric,anyway, i am wondering there is not much problematic humans along the way, i like your videos, and how you comunicate in czech/slovak. Keep on going!
Keep travelling around Slovakia, I wish I made videos when I was in the East, such phenomenal people, genuinely kind and when you learn Slovak words, just watch their eyes light up! 😁
First time seeing one of your videos. Was brilliant. You are talanted mate. Wish I could speak more than one language. Slovakia looks beautiful and peaceful. The locals are friendly. Can't beat a Budwar 🙂
Moc mě baví, že jsi ujetý na slepice :D Hlavně mě moc těší, jak hezky umíš česky (sice je tam ještě přízvuk), ale i tak :) Takhle hezky neumí ani většina nepřizpůsobivých co tu žijí desítky let
what a lovely video :) I am slovak and I am glad that locals helped you and were really nice to you :) you know, they are not very used to see a person of colour as an older generation, and it is lovely to see that you were treated so kindly :) and I have to say, that mostly because you were able to speak czech, so they could understand what do you need. Otherwise they would not be able to help you and maybe you would receive some silence, but just because the older generation doesn't speak english. However really lovely to see how open hearted you were, so they were able to show their kind open mind. And the man who took you to the groceries was the sweetest, this type is usually always the most helpfull to anyone he can. Really sweet personality :)
i just randomly came across your video you speak Czech really nicely and your style of videos is relaxing and entertaining i will probably stick around your channel a little bit
Hey man, cool videos. I really enjoyed to watch it, as I am originally from Czechia. I lived over 10 years in London, but the calmnes and more time for everything just won my hearth, so I am back and enjoying a life in Brno. 😁
If there are not pathways, you should walk on the left side of the road. It is our policy. It might feel a bit counterintuitive at first but it makes a sense. In that way, cars are not approaching you from your back, which is very uncomfortable. You hear the car but do not see it. When walking on the left side of the road, you can see the cars perfectly and have enough time to react if anything goes wrong.
There's not much to see in the village but what's interesting is the people, how they interact with a foreigner......friendly and helpful. When I travel, I prefer to walk around small villages and talk to locals. It's all about meeting people and learning their culture and traditions. I enjoyed your video and first time to watch which popped up on my channel! I just subscribed. Thanks!
Beautiful. So impressive that you can speak languages. Good to see that lovely young lady could speak English. I want to hug that elderly man. People are so friendly SO PEACEFUL. Love from a British African in Britain. 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 ❤

It shows how actually a foreign from town is seen from the local people, they try to help you in a very meaningful way.

As someone from Slovakia I can tell that you can speak pretty well, even though it sounded more like czech language. Slovak and Czech languages are very similar.
The people in Slovakia are so friendly! Reminded me of my travel in Bratislava, Kosice, and some other smaller towns. Impressive that you speak the language so well - the grammar is very difficult!
Nothing confuses you like a guy who starts speaking german, then switches to spanish, and all of sudden starts speaking czech.

Great video. Bit of a shame however the portrayal of the guy in the thumbnail of this video. He was a very knowledgeable and kind man. Good video though my friend 🇸🇰
He did the same thing when he was in Poland to another guy in the thumbnail. Pretty scummy way to get clicks and disrespectful to the guy in my opinion.
@@Brian-vn4xbagreed
Its amazing you speak the Slovak language. I love the positivity and the wonderful humanity you show. Thank you!
Andre speaks Czech, not Slovak.
I am pleased to see your travels. Speaking a little of the language makes a difference! Well done and keep going!
iam from czech republic and i just want to warn you in czech and slovakia you need to go the oposite direction of cars because its dangerous to walking with same direction on road ( if there is no path )
I think that law is everywhere but it’s not primordial. Its like jaywalking lol. (Which is legal in my country, but not within 50m of a zebra crossing haha)
Applies everwhere
That’s the same everywhere bro
Thanks
@@blanco7726 Im a Blanco too u know.
The people seemed very kind and friendly. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video. I laught when you were shopping. You bought "Travel to Croatia" starter pack. Májka and pivo
😎
One little improvement, 1:59 it is not Trabant, it is Lada Niva (Soviet). Also Trabant is not from Czechoslovakia, but from East Germany.
The green car closer to you is IFA Multicar, small lorry, that was produced in Eastern Germany.
I am new here, but I really like your content. Great work.
jakožto odborník přes trabanty jsem to taky chtěl napsat ale vidím že jste mě předběhl
yes, I can confirm it ,its a LADA NIVA from Russian
@@adamVLA Yes, excellent knowledge of cars, men!
I'll add some more) This type of taillights appeared in 1993 after restyling (model Lada Niva 21213 or more recent models). Those. we can assume that the car was assembled after the USSR, in Russia
@@REM-gm1nd i have one :D
@@adamVLA Wow cool! Do you use it for the countryside or in the city? Is it cheap and easy to maintain in Europe?
Thanks for posting. Impressed to see you took the time to learn the language and engage with the locals.
This was a excellent video. This is such a beautiful and peaceful place.I am impressed with how much different languages you spoke.👍🏼🔥
I'm practically not far into watching the video but I understand how friendly and accommodative the Slovaks are ; I love them . Hello to all Slovaks 🙌💌
It's a beautiful Village it's so peaceful and so clean
Thank GOD the People of that Village are so warm and Friendly 😊🥰. Blessings to them 😂. Beautiful and clean Village ☺️.
This is so wholesome, keep doing what you love and collecting new experiences on the way! Happy to see some Slovak people being polite and hospitable, pretty refreshing after all we see from our country's people on the internet.
It would have been wholesome if he helped that old man to buy groceries, not ignoring him after he got to the shop and secured his views
Sou brasileiro e novo aqui no seu canal, achei muito legal seu trabalho. Espero que continue crescend. abraço mano 👏👏
TBF I wouldnt be treated as good as you were and I am Slovak :D also really glad to see some people speaking nice fluent english like the girl who was sitting on the bench. Not sure if that is your real experience or you had to cut off many things but generally I think people were super nice to you to try to help you and show around even thought they could not speak english but their hand gestures/ slow talking and repeating stuff made it work. Well done Borinka.

Why you wouldnt ve treated good? Because that place is lived by Hungarians? Huh
Ja som ohromena ze on si myslel ze sme racisti
Slovaks are pretty racist in comparison to other nations, wait until they have a large demographic of cross continental people too. That tends to rise racial hostilities
Finally I've found a real traveller. That's my dream as well, brother. Mostly travellers just go for big and famous cities, we need more people in the countryside, including down here in Brazil.
I never thought that Slovakians are so wonderful like that, this video give me joy ❤
I've been to the Czech Republic for 2 weeks and it was the best vacation I have ever had. Just like the people shown in the clip, they are very friendly, they have the best beer and breathtaking scenery.
yea but austria is better
The people are friendly in CZ and SK? probably now that is summer, they are not always friendly specially when it comes to customer service
Why are you Africans traveling the world calling yourselves “black” and hiding your ethnic identity?
god bless you all Slovak people ,
you people are so humble , and kind . you have stole my spirit much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Here is one
Tu je jeden
I often see videos and posts about visible minorities going to backwoods countries that have barely any immigrants from cross continental populations and acting surprised when they are treated well.
Well, duh, no shit.. you’re an oddity there. If England or France had the Black population of Slovakia then people would be way more receptive of you visiting.
There was an interesting documentary I watched about a group of Japanese Samurai touring Western Europe in the 1800’s. They were so impressed by how they treated like royalty with such respect. The thing is, now the French and English recognize that they are becoming a racial/ethnic minority in their own nation, so obviously and unfortunately they will be less welcoming to their perceived demographic substitutes.
18:20 in subtitles Inaudible, but the old man says "oný". This word does not have any specific meaning. It is something like "that one" and it is used when you can't remember how to say something.
Slovakia. These people are respectful. High five to them. Plan to visit such a kind respectful country in near future. Credit to their country
Týpek přijde na dědinu s 600 lidma, pozdraví, pokecá ve finále i anglicky a jde si koupit rohlíky a pivo 😆 To je řízek!
tak tomu ver :D, tak klasicky na dedinke, ešte domaca chybala😂
Video k ničemu, jen tam přišel “ házet patky “ s angličtinou, divím se, že ho někdo neposlal do prdele.
i was waiting for you to pay for the old man shopping.he was so lovely
Where I grew up in the 90’s I remember an Afroamerican male visiting the village with his Slovak wife for the first time. It wasn’t unusual since then for the most.
I remember the villagers having respect for the couple, being welcome to them because he was the partner/ friend of. immidiatly a fam member.
actually very refreshing for the Slovak folks 👍
It shocked her that you could communicate with her like that man.
Excellent tour, Sir. Nice to know another nation have a neighbourhood looking like ours in the north of America.
I love how you just buy the beer together with the breakfast. Well integrated into Czech culture 🙂
I'm from England but I'm staying in Slovakia for 3 weeks because my mother comes from Slovakia. It was really interesting seeing the community here in Slovakia. Thank You for this video.
How did your stay there go?
This is beautiful and it shows how brilliant these people are! Friendly and welcoming. It changes everything I thought about Slovakia.
The movies lie. I thought they were racist. Wow such helpful people. I guess we are the racists in our own countries. Fuck the movies.
What did you think about people in that country ? And why.. what country are you from?
@@knowledgebornunderstanding8826 I come from one of the African countries (East Africa to be precise). I have interacted with a good number of people from different countries. But my experience with some Slovakia people was never good. On inquiry, people said Slovakians can be racist. Personally, I judge individuals, not entire country or group of people. This video shows that I was right not to judge the entire country.
@@rang3688 awesome you will very successful in this life , unlike Americans who throw the word racist around like a football that’s why I travel alone so my thoughts stay pure! I’m glad you also travel and meet other people
I met very beautiful people in Tanzania and Rwanda I can’t wait to go back
Respect for speaking the local dialect. Charming village and nice locals u conversed with.
Ahoj André, už nějakou dobu tě sleduji. Moc pěkná videa, těším se na další 🙂
Just a complimentary note.
"Dobrý den" is a magic word in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
I had a friend who lived in Prague and quite often had very noisy parties. But at the same time, when he met his neighbours during the day, he would greet everyone with a careful "Dobrý den" and all was forgiven.
It's such a Czech charm- if you greet "Dobrý den", you are suddenly a fellow Czech.
@discord stuff jou
Dobar den is in Macedonian :D
More like a fellow slav
Bruh you’re not Black you’re an African!!
Black is the ethnic identity of Black America, no one else!!
Race does not exist, therefore race “black” does not exist!!
GET OFF OF THE NUTS OF BLACK AMERICA!!
Why are you Africans traveling the world calling yourselves “black” and hiding your ethnic identity?
This is really interesting to watch. I’m impressed that you know the language. Thank you so much for posting
Your pronounciation of "Slyšíte" and "Kohout" is perfect 😳 That's so cool🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
I visited Zilina in 2017. I'm a South African with dark curly hair.I was pleasantly surprised by a few people who were curious to find out which country I was from.They were really friendly, kept smiling at me every time they made eye contact ☺️.Taking me back!Thank you☺️

How to flirt a Slovak girl? i find it difficult
@@vietbui4110 😂 lol maybe you shouldn't flirt with them
@@emekaobidike9574 why?

Because you are not gifted down there like Africans 😂
@@blackjack242 maybe, because Africa is strong and long😂
4:07 "on the floor". It's not the floor. If it's outside mate, it's called the ground. I hear this all the time in videos from the UK, people referring to the ground as the floor.
An easy way to remember the correct usage is :
"Normally, the floor is what you walk on inside a building, and the ground is what you walk on outside." This is the way I was taught in school in the UK in the 1950s/60s.
I have lived and worked in two other english speaking countries (currently in Canada) and the ground is never referred to as the floor in those countries. Is this the way it is taught in the UK now?
You know, more and more people of all ages are doing this in the UK. I'm always thrown a little when I hear people referring to the ground as the floor. I don't know where it's coming from! I see more of it when they show the police telling people to get down on the floor when they're standing outside on the street trying to arrest them 🤣🤣
Having watched this I've just realized how many of these cozy villages we have in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we just don't appreciate that 'coz we have some many of them :D and a big wow for how good you can speak Czech
9:50 BEST PART🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 Granpa is EPIC👍👏
Excellent local folks from Borinka behaving very nicely. I just hope you'll get same or even better welcome and reactions like from these folks.
You should know that Slovakia is a lot diversified in views for such a small country so don't take this as a norm everywhere you go😉
I am proud to be Slovak to see nice people like this!
Slovakia seems super❤ i love Slovakia really 🇸🇰i remember memories with Slovakia and all adventures and travel❤..i love your videos you show details and deep streets of Slovakia

Yeah, pretty cheap of him to not buy him anything
@@qvasar89g73 you don't know that. I learnt, you don't show off when you do good to others
Andre, no hard feelings. People hate diversity and racial mixing. This has nothing to do with racism.
I am Serb and Slavic, and we do not like it either. You're alright as a tourist, but not as a person who will
mix with our woman. A mixed family is not good.
Enjoyed watching this video from the beginning to the end. You're such a nice and easy going guy 😊.

To kebyze viem tak ti spravim sprievodcu :)
contact me, i have some good stuff to turn in slovakia, castles and much more
Keep travelling around Slovakia, I wish I made videos when I was in the East, such phenomenal people, genuinely kind and when you learn Slovak words, just watch their eyes light up! 😁
First time seeing one of your videos. Was brilliant. You are talanted mate. Wish I could speak more than one language. Slovakia looks beautiful and peaceful. The locals are friendly. Can't beat a Budwar 🙂
Moc mě baví, že jsi ujetý na slepice :D Hlavně mě moc těší, jak hezky umíš česky (sice je tam ještě přízvuk), ale i tak :) Takhle hezky neumí ani většina nepřizpůsobivých co tu žijí desítky let
This was a great video. I've been to Slovakia and it was very nice to be there
Áno Slovensko je nádherná krajina
(Yes Slovakia is very beautiful country)
what a lovely video :) I am slovak and I am glad that locals helped you and were really nice to you :) you know, they are not very used to see a person of colour as an older generation, and it is lovely to see that you were treated so kindly :) and I have to say, that mostly because you were able to speak czech, so they could understand what do you need. Otherwise they would not be able to help you and maybe you would receive some silence, but just because the older generation doesn't speak english. However really lovely to see how open hearted you were, so they were able to show their kind open mind. And the man who took you to the groceries was the sweetest, this type is usually always the most helpfull to anyone he can. Really sweet personality :)
WOWWWW love your language abilities. I am a Brit and live in Poland and a small cottage in Slovakia so i know exactly your situation hahaha
i just randomly came across your video
you speak Czech really nicely and your style of videos is relaxing and entertaining
i will probably stick around your channel a little bit
Czech or Slovak?
@@SusanLynn656 I speak both :)
Love the video!!! The beer for breakfast has me cracking up 😂😂😂😂
Such lovely and friendly people. Love the way they are keen to help. ❤️
The old fella was amazing and the lady on the bench she dain't pull back one bit and she was happy to help. Great slovak people there ❤️
Hey man, cool videos. I really enjoyed to watch it, as I am originally from Czechia. I lived over 10 years in London, but the calmnes and more time for everything just won my hearth, so I am back and enjoying a life in Brno. 😁
Mate thanks for another awesome video! Keep up the good work.

If there are not pathways, you should walk on the left side of the road. It is our policy. It might feel a bit counterintuitive at first but it makes a sense. In that way, cars are not approaching you from your back, which is very uncomfortable. You hear the car but do not see it. When walking on the left side of the road, you can see the cars perfectly and have enough time to react if anything goes wrong.
Very nice video. I love the quaint little village. It's a place that most will never get to see, so thanks for taking us there!
There's not much to see in the village but what's interesting is the people, how they interact with a foreigner......friendly and helpful. When I travel, I prefer to walk around small villages and talk to locals. It's all about meeting people and learning their culture and traditions. I enjoyed your video and first time to watch which popped up on my channel! I just subscribed. Thanks!
Great video, just a small technical note. The Trabant is an old East German car and, as already written, the car is a Lada Niva.
🤓
Beautiful. So impressive that you can speak languages. Good to see that lovely young lady could speak English. I want to hug that elderly man. People are so friendly
SO PEACEFUL.
Love from a British African in Britain.

Love nigeria man from slovakia
Czech is different from Slovakian but they mostly understand each other. Dobry video bratr 🙏
This always confuses me. How can they perfectly understand each other?
Holy cow man, I don't think you would have ever found that shop without that man's help!
He could have at least bought him some groceries as that man clearly couldn’t afford them :(
Exactly
@@qvasar89g73 what are you talking about? 🤷🏽 He obviously can afford to buy his own groceries🙈
Rule of thumb do not offer this kind of help if no one asked for it.
You can easily be depicted as arrogant and disrespectful...I'm just saying!
That's for sure 💯%
Man, I’m Watching your video with someone that speaks Slovak and is actuallly so funny, the interactions are so natural and random.
It shows how actually a foreign from town is seen from the local people, they try to help you in a very meaningful way.
Your reactions are cool, man literally told you that they the owners passed away and they sons have to sold the house because they move away and your answer is:
“Dobre (Good)”
You a master, u got a new subscriber
I don't know Czech or Slovak. But I know another Slavic language, sometimes i understand some words. I love the nature of Slovakia and Czech Republic the most, also i like your houses and villages.
This video is brilliant. I'm from the Czech Republic, but it is beautiful how you show Slovakia and the Czech Republic to people all over the world, with so much love. You gave me some good mood. Thank you very much for such a content. You absolutely deserve my subscribe. JSI BOREC🤩

I love how there is so much love and positivity in the comment section, it makes my day!
Big hug to you brother, love from Andalusia

As someone from Slovakia I can tell that you can speak pretty well, even though it sounded more like czech language. Slovak and Czech languages are very similar.
...najlepší bol dedulo v čiapke a trenkách... 😀👍 André má šťastie na ľudí, ktorých stretá. Sú ako postavičky z filmov...
The people in Slovakia are so friendly! Reminded me of my travel in Bratislava, Kosice, and some other smaller towns. Impressive that you speak the language so well - the grammar is very difficult!
