Thank you - not sure I agree but its always nice to hear.

The pronounciation is terrible, on the other hand you can pronounce Ř. And the phrases were also a bit wrong. Czech inflects nouns, adjectives, pronouns, numerals and verbs but you didn't. But if it's a phrasebook, there should be exact forms.

But generally, it's OK. You're better than others. Czech is really difficult and for a long explanation.

@radikborov Yeah, you are porbably right, right now I am reading Honzikova Cestu to my unborn son and my wife is constantly correcting me. The biggest problem is that there are no study materials out there that pronounce the various Czech words. When I was learning Spanish - I had a book with words and a CD that would repeat the English and then Czech - so far I have found nothing like this in Czech. It seems that for a country that wants its foreigners to speak Czech there is very little help

[radikborov]

@markabroad So, you're really interested in Czech language. Is your wife Czech, if she correts your mistakes? It's truth, there aren't many books for foreigners, but one company called Fraus could have some students books or simple stories in Czech.

You may check it, I'll send you adress.

They have perfect books. I think I found there something for foreigners too.

There's English version of the site.

@radikborov Yes my wife is Czech. I have plently books, Lida Hola, Czech For fereigners, I read many Czech books (or try to at least), but they do not help for pronunciation. Like I said more popular languages have CDs or DVDs that have almost full dictionaries translating the English to said language as well as conversations - even the Lida Hola books which are the preferred books for teachers to teach foreigners Czech is very limited in the verbal part. There are no advanced audio books

@pourmoinyc I have a German friend that speaks Czech really well...

[radikborov]

@markabroad Well, I believe, it might be hard to find a really complete book with CDs etc. Czech isn't English or Spanish indeed.

So now do you concentrate only on pronunciation and reading, or do you also learn some grammar and syntax?

Good luck, czech isn´t easy languague.
