Studying at home: translations

̶if you use the (PDF) dictionaries, do not look for the exact form you do not understand; look for
the most similar form → studovat (to study) could also look like: studuju (I study), studuješ (you
study)...
̶use any online dictionaries for isolated words
̶try not to use google translator
