Abstract
The article addresses the use of online communication technologies for educational purposes by Slovenian emigrants and their descendants. Technologies such as web-classes, forums, blogs and social networks enable them to maintain transnational links with the homeland, especially in terms of learning the language, and exploring, preserving and negotiating cultural practices. The article builds on the extensive content analysis of web pages, portals and social network sites where they interact to discuss the variety of themes connected with Slovenian culture. It is argued that shared meanings are not necessarily communicated and negotiated within the frame of a single language, and that learning about cultural heritage and contemporary lifestyles through discussions on social networks is an efficient and popular mode of informal learning.
