Users can apply for the course launched by the Christian Cultural Association and the Slovenian Cultural Association at https://www.slovensko.at/30tage30woerter.
The participants receive an e-mail with a new Slovenian word every day as of 1 June, a phrase that is commonly used in Slovenian and some additional information, including on Carinthian Slovenians and Slovenia.
The campaign To Live Slovenian/Experience Slovenian has also been under way since January last year, primarily on social media, and is available at https://www.slovensko.at.
The project features a simple online language practice book and an online songbook with audio recordings and lyrics of Slovenian songs. A special app, MyKoroška, has also been created, featuring some 900 Carinthian town names, various videos showing local pronunciation of certain words, and cooking tips.
