Vodnik’s school
As the Illyrian Provinces were established in 1809, the French promoted the knowledge of the French language but allowed the provincial (Slovenian) language to be used as the language of instruction in primary and lower secondary schools. Valentin Vodnik wrote the first purely Slovenian textbooks for classes in Slovenian. The content of these books is also taught to the participants of the Vodnik’s School lesson. They are thus given a unique opportunity to learn the basics of Bohoričica, which was used as the Slovenian script from the mid-16th to the mid-19th century.
Learning Objectives:
– Students learn an old script, Bohoričica,
– They translate some simple words from Slovenian to French and vice-versa.
