Slovakia is a young country with a long
history, an enduring culture, and a very old language. Its recent history has
been one of frequent change, but the traditions of the Slovak people are rich
and easily perceived in the architecture and geography of their surroundings,
in their customs and celebrations, and in their general warmth and determination.
Culture Smart! Slovakia
introduces you to the country’s festivals, social norms, and rites of passage,
and the colorful artistry of its folk traditions. It examines the enduring
values of hospitality and community and offers insight into the cultural Slovakian
quirks that visitors are likely to encounter. It offers advice on how to get
around, how to navigate the unfamiliar situations you may find yourself in, and
how to make the most of your time in this picturesque yet often overlooked
country at the heart of Europe.
Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
