Sorry -- mea culpa! Thought we had someone advertising their business but, like the idiot I am, I failed to read the dates properly and I was in a rush. Plenty of experience of moving to Slav towns (<30k pop) and not speaking the language. Also been to Slovenia many times though only stayed a couple -- usually passing through on the way down the coast.

How old's your husband? Has he learned any other languages? Has he ever worked for himself? Does he need an income? Are you going to work with him?

Some ideas for you. He isn't going to learn the language unless he gets out of the house and mingles with the locals.

TEFLA course before you leave and teach English. Contact local translators and offer English proof reading. Export business of something local. All these get him mingling in the local community and hence he will learn the language.
