Easy-to-follow explanations enable users to have simple conversations with native speakers. Since Slovenia, situated between Italy and Croatia on the "sunny side" of the Alps, gained independence in 1991, it has become a popular travel destination for those who enjoy its verdant hills, lush forests, and rugged mountains. This Dictionary & Phrasebook is designed to bridge the communication gap between western travelers and Slovenes. The bilingual dictionary incorporates basic vocabulary terms as well as Slovene slang, while the travel-oriented phrasebook includes cultural information, such as an overview of the national cuisine and a special chapter for business travel.

For more than 1,300 years Slovenes had lived in Eastern Europe without having a separate Slovene state, but in December of 1990, they voted for independence, or, put more appropriately, for "disassociation" from Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, Slovenia had to fight for its independence, which it did not fully achieve until 1995 after its bloody disintegration with Yugoslavia was over. Since independence, however, Slovenia has prospered; its economy is far ahead of other former communist states and in 2004 Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the European Union, the only republic of former Yugoslavia to do so. The A to Z of Slovenia covers the history of Slovenia and its struggle to gain independence from communism. This is done through a detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on some of the more significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.
