Each unit is based on simple dialogues between two or more people discussing everyday matters. In addition to the material in the dialogue you will be given snippets of background information on the language itself and on the society that uses it. Words and phrases will appear in manageable quotas, in readily reuseable formats. Your skill with these will be tested by various means after each unit, and only when you are confident that you have mastered one unit should you proceed to the next. Each unit contains two dialogues. These build up to give you a command of many essential phrases and, especially in the earlier units, much of the basic language you will need on first arriving in the Czech Republic. First there is a simple dialogue derived from the unit’s theme – hinted at in the unit’s title – with explanations and exercises to practise what you have learnt. The second dialogue usually expands this introduction with more phrases in the same domain, but also brings in some new material. Each unit also contains a Cultural Information passage, giving additional information about the Czech people, life or language. Scattered here and there you will find additional ‘Insight’ boxes giving all manner of additional information about the language and country.
