In Slovenia the 31st  October is Primož Trubar’s day. On 24 st October our class visited his birthplace – Rašica. We travelled by bus. It was a long journey but it was worth.

When we arrived, the guide was waiting for us. He showed us some books that Trubar wrote and told us about his life and work. His father was a miller, so they weren’t poor. Trubar went to school to different towns, a year in Reka and two years in Salzburg. We learned some interesting facts about him. He was the first to give our nation its name – Slovenians and a language. The guide told us about the important people in Trubar’s life. One of them was the bishop Peter Bonomo who alloowed Trubar to read the books of contempoarary writers and get informed and educated that way. Primož Trubar wrote the first printed books in Slovenia – Abecednik and Katekizem. First he used gotica but hten he prefered latinica.

I think Primož Trubar was a very important man and a great writer.
