Colloquial Czech: The Complete Course for Beginners [audio + book]


Colloquial Czech
Date: 2011
Pages: 477
Format: PDF
Size: 3 MB
This third edition of my Colloquial Czech is a revised version of the edition first printed in 1999. Ten years have passed. It was time to update the dialogues and vocabulary here and there, and respond in places to user feedback. The presentation of the grammar has been adjusted at various points, in order to distribute material more evenly between lessons and make the exposition of points a closer match for my reference volume Czech: an Essential Grammar (Routledge, 2005). The Czech-English glossary is more comprehensive. Letter-writing has mostly given way to emails, mobile phones with text messaging are busily in use, and computers are everywhere around us. The recordings are new, and more carefully paced, we hope. The course aims as before to take you up to a level at which you can begin to communicate with success on a range of essential topics, as well as tackle books, the press and other media (with the help of a decent dictionary, see below). The language is a hard one for English speakers, so no foolish promises are going to be made to you about how easy or straightforward your task will be. There is much alien grammar, as well as alien vocabulary, to be assimilated, step by step, and there’s no way to avoid making robust efforts over a period of time if you want to complete the course successfully!
