Apart from being hard-working and diligent, things we like to do, we do with great passion and energy, we are regarded as slightly more individualist, Despite the proverbial envy of neighbours or schadenfreude, the Slovenians are an open and hospitable people. You can easily make yourself understood with Slovenians, since the great majority speak English and other languages well. Another of the highest values for Slovenians is friendship. So you can expect the friendships you develop in Slovenia to last all your life. SLOVENIAN CHARACTER
