Ahoj Zuzko, učím se česky asi za rok a půl, a myslím, že tvoje videa a taky tvoje nová učebnice Just in Case jsou ÚŽASNÉ!!! Děkuju mockrát za čas a energii, kterou dáš do tvojí prace, abychom cizinci jak já umí se učit lépe a s radostí ten krásný jazyk! Doporučuju učebnici Just in Case všem, kteří chtějí mluvit česky správně 😊 Andreas z Německa
Mockrát děkuji, Andreasi! Jsem ráda, že moje videa i materiál pomáhají lidem z různých zemí, to mě naplňuje. Dovolím si malou opravu, protože se týká tématu videa: "Učím se česky asi rok a půl" (bez předložky)
Enjoy your well deserved holiday! Next 3 weeks we will enjoy our holidays through Czech and Slovak Republics and printed out your very nice books to keep on practicing during the next 6 weeks I won't see my personal Czech teacher. I can highly recommend this book to the other followers of this channel.
What's amazing is that you have a command for English, which makes you an amazing teacher. I'm in awe. So when I return to your country in September and say "Dekuji na kavu" will they know I'm a moron?
You are right, "cz" is not typical in English or Czech nowadays. In Old Czech, the [ch] sound was transcribed as cz. Czech language doesn't use *z* to soften consonants anymore, that's why we have "háček": č, š, ř... *Cz* (or sz, rz...) still remains in Polish. English language adopted this combination in order to represent the č sound.
It's just archaism, English name was standardised a long time ago when Czech alphabet looked more like today Polish alphabet. Some people say that it looks like that actually because name "Czech" came to English from Polish, it's also possible.
I've been using Duolingo...I think it's doing more harm than good. I have a czech grammar book from the 60s that was much more disciplined for me. That was before the internet.
I have heard a lot of stories about Duolingo and their numerous sentences with spiders. It's a good way to practice vocab, I think, but grammar might be misleading at times. I can imagine the book from the 60s is still good despite having some words that are now outdated. What's the name of the book? Is it English-Czech?
@CzechbyZuzka lol...spiders. Funny my father used to call people "pavouk" all the time. My grandfather came from Kasava. The book... it's called A Modern Czech Grammar by Harkins. It's an old hard cover book.
@CzechbyZuzka this video I put together a while ago explains my czech family history and how my father was able to reunite ruclips.net/video/-rSvWIKiuNU/видео.html

Thanks!
Děkuji vám!
Djakuji za skvělý lekce! :)
Rádo se stalo!
Dekuju za skvele lekce😊 , mam radost že sa učim Svami Česki 😊☺️👍🌷
Nemáte zač! A mně dělá radost, že se učíte s mými videi.
Your lessons nearly always fill a gap in my learning. Especially the part about ‚za‘ made it click.
Thank you so much! I usually pick a topic that my students struggle with.

Thank you! I'm happy my book will keep you company. Have a great vacation and speak a lot of Czech!

Samozřejmě budu mluvit česky. Oslavím, že se mi po 30 letech vrátila česká národnost.
@@paulterpstra6705To je skvělé! Gratuluju!
Do you already have a video on the various forms of "if"?
I made a video about conditional and conditional clauses, that covers "if": ruclips.net/video/UQoyxg51ERc/видео.html

Thank you!
Well, try saying it and see what the people's reactions will be. I think people might just find that funny.
@CzechbyZuzka actually everyone in Czechia seems to be impressed that I take the time to speak the language. I get "why would you bother? " alot...lol
ooh this was very helpful, thank you! On a side note.... can you explain why the cz in Czech is pronounced ch .... it seems like this is an anomaly!
You are right, "cz" is not typical in English or Czech nowadays. In Old Czech, the [ch] sound was transcribed as cz.

@@CzechbyZuzka wow... Very interesting answer! Thank you.

To je fajn, že se učíte česky. Vím, že to není jednoduché, ale stojí to za to. Nevzdávejte to!
I'm watching this again because obviously I don't yet understand lol

Našetřím peníze na dárek pro manželku abychom letěli do Prahy na dovoleny na týden (za asi $5,000 CAD) přístí let.
Bravo! Správně jsme použil všechny předložky. Snad vám plán vyjde.
Malá oprava: _na dovolenou, příští léto_
