Welcome to my log for the TAC 2013.
I'm glad to be a member of the Kofola team and hope I'll be able to improve my Czech significantly in 2013. As a matter of fact, I'm really thrilled that our team has so many members, experienced Czech and Slovak learners as well as beginners like me. And I should not forget to mention our helpful native speakers (Cavesa and Majka for Czech and wyctory for Slovak). Team log The team members are: Chung (Slovak) Danac (Slovak) Hřibeček (Czech and Slovak) Lapislazuli (Czech) stelingo (Czech) tajosto(Czech) Theodisce (Czech) Wompi (Czech) I've studied the language regularly since June 2012 and have Skype lessons once or twice a week plus two language exchange partners which I have neglected a bit in November/December but I hope to speak to them regularly next year. Ressources I use: - ANKI and Memrise for vocabulary - italki to get corrections for written texts - Langenscheidt Praktisches Lehrbuch Tschechisch for review - Lída Holá: Tschechisch Schritt für Schritt (German version of "Czech Step by Step") - Cvičebnice Češtiny - Čeština jako cizí jazyk (grammar exercises) - Jana Harperová: Čeština extra - Průvodce českou gramatikou - Alena Nekovářová: Čeština pro život - 15 moderních konverzačních témat - Pražske legendy - a book with short stories for A2 - Jan Neruda: Povídky malostranské (adapted for Czech learners - B1) - magazine "Týden" (available in my town, will buy it once in a while) - website of radio Prague (www.radio.cz) - český blog pro cizince (http://czech-extra.blog.cz/) Goal for 2013: I hope to take the A2 exam in Prague at the beginning of November, so my language level at the end of the year should be a stable A2 and possibly a B1.

I also looking forward to read your entries.
Why did you start czech? With the declension endings I also still struggle. I think this is one of the most difficult aspect in czech. But maybe this is just because I hate grammar drills and try to learn the endings from immersion. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Welcome! I am also using "Langenscheidts praktischer Sprachlehrgang", but I have only progressed as far as lesson 3 by now - so I am not yet able to share any wise words in czech by now.
From what I have been told by people who know better then I do, it seems to take a while to get the declension endings right. Probably one of the many things that need a lot of exposure and getting used to the language. Looking forward to reading your entries! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Es ist mir interessant, daß ihr Tschechisch mit Langenscheidt lernt. Ich habe Tschechisch auf Deutsch nie gelernt, aber ich habe den Kurs für deutsch sprechende Menschen "Tschechisch im Alltag" von LEDA benutzt um meine Kentnisse aufzufrischen - nützliches Buch mit 3 CDs (und es kostete umgefähr 600 Kč (~ 25 Euros), als ich ihn in Brno gekauft habe :-))

I've been living in the Czech Republic for 5 1/2 years and I still have some problems with irregular declensions. As you say though, the most common declensions aren't too difficult and will come quite quickly once you've used them in a natural setting a few times.

Well, I have Czech roots, my grandfather was born near Plzeň as a child of a Czech mother and a German father. When I was a child, he kept in touch with friends from his childhood by writing letters and sending parcels and I remember that I found it quite fascinating because I grew up in the times of the cold war and everything behind the Iron Curtain seemed to be more exotic than Africa or Asia :-). Unfortunately I lost interest after I had moved out and then my grandfather died. So I don't have any connection to the Czech Republic now. Apart from that: I'm proud to say that I'm a fan of Karel Gott :-). Well, and I just love the country and its splendid nature. Same with Slovakia actually. I wouldn't mind to move there one day. I've recently started to teach German via Skype and could probably make a living of it once I'm not responsible for my daughter anymore who's 15 now. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How famous is Karel Gott in Germany? Czechs always tell me that he's very popular there, but you're the first German that I've heard say it. I expect you know that here he's something like a god, although most men would never admit to liking his music. 1 person has voted this message useful |
