Summary/Abstract: In this paper the authors present the didactical-contentual concept of the e-learning course of Slovak language for breakthrough beginners „My Slovak“, which is part of foundation of the Slovak Language Centre at California University of Pennsylvania in USA. The establishment of the course and the Centre is preconditioned by a fact that there are about 1.2 million people living in the U.S.A. acknowledging their Slovak nationality. Mostly they do not know Slovak in written neither in spoken form; nevertheless they are very interested in learning the language at least at the level of beginners. The content of the project is being prepared and managed by the Faculty of Arts at the Comenius University in Bratislava and online teaching will be managed by Studia Academica Slovaca – Centre for Slovak as Foreign Language in Bratislava. The Civic Society iLearn is responsible for preparation of infrastructure technology, the course layout, methodical preparation of lectors leading the online teaching, operation of virtual rooms and implementation of KnowledgePulse application, using the microlearning methodology.
