Üdvözlünk benneteket! Pozdravljeni! 

The greeting above says it all: we are the students of a bilingual secondary school. In this project the students of 3.a and 3.b classes of grammar school are taking part. Have a look at our glogster presentation and feel our vibe!

Our mentors are:
•    Mária Gaál, the geography teacher, who in addition to enjoying travels to close and foreign places dedicates more and more time to her pets and gardening;
•    Ildikó Kovač, the biology teacher, who spends her free time, if there is some left due to her work, in the nature or bakes delicious treats;
•   Gabriela Zver, M.A., the Slovene teacher and the head of this project, who enjoys experiencing different types of art and their value, loves to travel and is an active singer.

At Dvojezična srednja šola Lendava (The Bilingual Secondary School Lendava) we take classes in the Slovene and Hungarian language. Beside these two languages we also learn German, English and Spanish.
Our school offers the following educational programmes: grammar school (general upper secondary school), secondary technical education: economic technician and mechanical technician and various three-year vocational programmes.
A special feature of our school is that it organises professional excursions as part of our bilingual education, so this year we got to know Budapest and its area.

Special features of our town Lendava (Lendva – in Hungarian):
•    Did you know that during the Reformation period the first significant printing house, not only in Slovenia but in the former Yugoslavia, was set up in Lendava?
•    In our area people of different nationalities and religions (Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish) have always strived to live in harmony, thus we have a Catholic and an Evangelical church, as well as a synagogue. The Jews left an indelible mark in the rich middle-class culture and the economy.
•    Did you know that the most distant place from our capital Ljubljana is Lendava? Or that Lendava has the lowest annual precipitation in Slovenia?
•    Did you know that we can find the so called floating fern (lat. Salvinia natans) only in the oxbow lakes of The River Mura ?
•    Did you know that our area has many hidden treasures like geothermal water, which is great for our spas, orchids and for heating our school?
•    But you probably know that Lendava is located on the borders of Slovenia – Croatia – Hungary, and the Austrian border is also very close.

Take a look at the Photo Gallery on the website of  Turizem Lendava (Lendava Tourism) and the Photo Gallery on the municipal websites (click on the small icons in the line above), where you can also find short presentations of our cultural heritage and historical buildings and the history of our town.
