Multilingualism

“Za vero, dom, cesarja ­ Slovenci v prvi svetovni vojni”

I didn’t understand it until the genius translation. It’s the First World War I learn about. Thus a Slovene point of view! During his historical studies, Danijel Grafenauer from Maribor researched especially those topics. Presented them last week highly self­-assured. Enjoying ancient politicians’ diplomacy, quoting them with a chuckle. Further discussions showed the deep impact among the audience.

Amazing for me, the smooth bilinguality. Lecture in the native language for the crowd, translation into German. Questions in both languages, translation in the other direction obsolet. My personal gain. One detail, ignored by others because of its obviousness.
