There's some stuff available legally and for free out there, some of which I've noted in this profile under "Books" and "Links"
If you want to get a bit of practice with Czech for basic situations, watch the videos here and follow along with the transcripts in either Czech or English. Hodně štěstí! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I like how you chose this language -- because of seeing a film. I have a similar reason for wanting to learn Hungarian -- I heard a nice song -- but I have forced myself to wait while I work on some other languages.

I chose Norwegian after reading Sofies Verden =) I'd have chosen a scandinavian language later on anyway, but what mattered for me to choose Norwegian right away was indeed the book.
Good luck with Czech, it looks very nice to me. I tried to learn it once but with TY Czech I simply wouldn't go anywhere. Now I have Assimil but Czech is still on hold, though I like to follow logs. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Uhm, how to quote all of the posts above? I dont see multiquote button :|
děkuji chung your link has been bookmarked, I've watched the videos, very useful indeed. At first I thought it is hard to find educational materials to learn czech, it turns out there's plenty of it *glad* Čau brown owl the film really gets me, the narration was so beautiful, although I cant understand every single word they speak ahaha. From that time, I know that I can "feel" more the story if I understand czech. There is beauty in each language that sometimes can not be translated in other language Hi Expugnator yay you read sophie's world. Now I remember I havent finished reading that book yet :p ------------------------------------------- Log 23.8.2012

Není zač. Doufám, že videa budou pro Tebe užitečné. If you still have problems with ř, watch Anthony Lauder's video ("Splog" on HTLAL). When I hear 'ř' pronounced quickly, as is typical colloquially, it sounds to me a bit more like 'ž'. I tend to pronounce it (I think) by first starting to pronounce 'r' and then quickly moving on 'ž'. At the least when I've done this when talking to Czechs, I've never had a problem or got strange looks even if I'm not a native speaker. A few corrections:

I agree, it's definitely not trilled in normal speech. I think I pronounce it as pure fricative, it's a third tongue position in addition to s/z and š/ž. Additionally, dř/tř seem to be affricates rather than consonant clusters. 1 person has voted this message useful |
