As a Slovak language teacher, I am thrilled to help you learn vocabulary related to transportation. Whether you are traveling for leisure or business, it is essential to have the right words to navigate your new surroundings. In this lesson, we will cover the basics of taking a bus, train, or taxi. Let's get started!

Taking a Bus

If you plan to travel by bus in Slovakia, you should familiarize yourself with the following words:

Odchod	oht-khoot	Departure
Príchod	pree-khoot	Arrival

• To get on the bus, say "dobrý deň" (good day) to the driver and give him your ticket.
• If you're not sure which stop to get off at, ask the driver for help. You can say "Prosím vás, kde mám vystúpiť?" (Excuse me, where should I get off?).

Taking a Train

If you prefer to travel by train, you should learn the following vocabulary:

Slovak	Pronunciation	English

• To board the train, show your ticket to the conductor and look for your assigned seat.
• If you need assistance, find a train station attendant and ask for help. You can say "Prosím vás, môžete mi pomôcť?" (Excuse me, can you help me?).

Taking a Taxi

If you prefer to take a taxi, you should learn the following words:

• To hail a taxi, wave your hand and say "Taxi" or "Stoj" (stop).
