As good as you were at explaining words a year ago… OMG your presentation skills and production quality has improved so much! You have let me know your secret, it can’t just be practice.
PS I can’t believe the YouTube comments for this video are relatively intelligent.
Word “Ahoj” (pronounced: ahoy) is actually used on dayly basis by 15 milions people in Slovakia and Czech republic. So now you known others

Oh, and just to notice, we always used it only - once - by one person for greeting someone we just met, not - twice -…
Nobody says “hello” twice either
Hi Marina,
I’ve been going back and catching up on old lessons I never watched before. You are really improving your game considerably over such a short time. Remarkable.
Regarding “hello” though, you might want to redo this video. Prior to the invention of the telephone, the word was used as a greeting in literature (e.g. Mark Twain in the story “Roughing It” and as far back as the 1820’s by other authors).
Have a great day!

Hey Eric, I agree with you on your suggestion. I also have found other references to the word. Also many references to the word ahoy. I think further investigation and a remake of the video would be great.
However, you may mispronounciate some words, but it sounds cool and sexy anyway…
gimme a call :). just kidding.
Ahoy hoy Marina,
Great presentation & explanation, you mesmerize me with your beauty and the fact that you like to explain words/phrases, you explain so seductively.
I like it, while learning at the same time, good website!
