That is true! Already speaking Russian at an A2-B1 level, I must say that it is quite similar. It would probably not be that hard to learn as for someone who speaks no slavic language
Ahoj bro :) ..... I'm from India and I'm interested in learning czech language ..... For good conversation in czech language can i contact you if possible :)
I'll be moving to Czech to teach English next year. I'm trying my best to know greetings and small conversations a much as possible. 8 more months to go!! 🇨🇿
I'm Polish, i started learning Czech today and it's so similar that it makes all the differences even more obvious. It makes Czech easier to learn for me.
Same here from Russia, I want to immigrate to the Czech Republic in a couple of years, so I started learning Czech as well, and I can't help but notice how a lot of Czech words are either completely equal to or really similar to Russian words, just written in a different alphabet
I'm an absolute Bulgarian and I love Czech Republic and Czech language. I have been in Prague and I'm totally in love with it! Greetings from Bulgaria and Germany!
@ Elitsa Ivanova Как стоят нещата в Чехия, лесно ли се намира работа(в IT сферата) и как са хората, защото мисля в близкото бъдеще(след 1-2 години) на там да се отправя
I am Czech decent. I use to speak Czech fluently but since my parents passed away for over 30 years, I have lost my Czech! I want to get back to my Czech roots. So thank you for these lessons, they have brought back many memories!!!
Dobry den. I am Canadian and my ancestors were Czech and recently decided to learn it. There is so many things to keep in mind when trying to catch on to it. I think you have done a great job in teaching it.
Perhaps you can answer something (although I know difficult in text, since it's a question about speech): I know now that the default stress in Czech is on the 1st syllable. I also know that the acute accent lengthens a vowel, but does not indicated stress. I find it quite difficult, in a phrase like "dobrý den", to elongate the "ý" without also stressing it. I suppose the only answer is to keep listening to recordings of native speakers saying it, but it seems hard to reproduce it. (Not, of course, as hard as "ř" :-) ).
@@mikewellwood1412 English has long vowels, like "ee" in word sheep, etc...I am still curious why are so many English speakres confused about long vowels when they actually have them too. Even when you stress it not correctly, it will be probably understandable, don't be so afraid say it, nobody is speaking 100% correctly and even native speakers are not saying "dobrý den" really correctly, it's mostly shortened to "dobrej" or "brý den" or other variants. This is valid for Bohemia, in Moravia and Silesia, people speak differently. If you think dobrý den is hard, then try Polish version of it. :-D
Because they are Slavic languages, Czech is west slavic language, Russian is east slavic language and my croatioserbian-serbocroatian is south slavic language and yeah it is very similar also to my language because of that our languages are slavic. West Slavic countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland East Slavic countries: Belarus, Russia, Ukraine South Slavic countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia (FYROM), Bulgaria
Can I ask Something? I hope somebody can answer my Question. Is the word "Kradleaz" means Thief or Thieves on Czech language? It's not very big deal, I just rumble some words and want to create a Unique Name for my future son. I created the name Kradleaz by my self, Krad in opposite as Dark, and Leaz as Zeal. It mean DarkLover or should I say other term of Nyctophilia. Then suddenly when I type that word on Google Translate, Czech language pop up as Thief or Thieves. So I hope somebody here, tell if Kradleaz is a Thief in Czech language.
i have nothing to do at night, so i am just watching how to learn my native language instead of practicing French that i actually need / want to learn.

Excellent video, I have 2 Czech customers in our hotel tonight, this video has everything I need to show them I put in some effort to make them feel welcome.
I'm starting to learn Czech language due to some Czech metal band's influences, I'm going to name some of them: Root, Cult of Fire and Purnama. Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Thanks for the recommendation! Music and movies in a particular language help a lot to learn the language, and I've been on the hunt for some good Czech-language bands to listen to.
I am from Canada, and my grandfather told me recently his dad came over from then Czechoslovakia. So now I will try to learn the basics. I would like to visit some day.
Acutally, almost nobody says "Rád(a) vás poznávám". In an informal situation, informal formulations are used, which therefore do not have a stable form.
Learning German and Russian. Now I find Czech is crazily similar to Russian. And many Russian words sound similar to German or English ones. It's so easy for Europeans to learn another European language; but it's usually quite difficult for Asians to learn another Asian language.
Want to know why Czech may sound so similar to ruzzian? Because ruzzians tried hard to assimilate Czech with ruzzian during the occupation of Czechoslovakia; original Czech words claimed to be "archaism" and were replaced with "modern" ruzzian equivalents.
Jsem Polák a myslím si, že čeština je prostě krásná! Začal jsem se ji učit před třemi lety a vidím spoustu podobností s polštinou. Z mého názoru je to i jeden z nejjednodušších slovanských jazyků, které Polak může se naučit a zvládnout nejrychleji. V budoucnosti plánuji letět do Prahy, kde nakonec si budu moci vyzkoušet svou češtinu s domorodci!🇨🇿❤️
i am a native english speaker, i have learned czech in over 2 years (minus 1 year cause of covid) i can fluently, write, read, and talk pretty decently. i went to a public czech school in 2019. the best way to really learn the languange is to go to school and interact with others! the school forced me to learn and put more effort into learning. learning czech from english was really difficult for me considering it was nothing like english! if your looking to learn czech, dont be so hard on yourself! i was also really difficult but learning slovak languanges makes you have a okay understanding with polish, slovanian, and even russian! wish you all luck
I have become extremely interested in the Czech language, culture, and history thanks to the video game Kingdom Come Deliverance. Thanks to Daniel Vavra and Warhorse Studios!
For languages that have Slavic pronunciations, even if they are neither Slovak nor Czech, for sure it will be easier. I am Indonesian, my love for Czech Republic is big, especially its places :D Dobrý den!
Great to go over some of my czech, i am half czech, i speak fluently but sometimes i get stuck and confused in what im saying, somit is good to go over it!♥️♥️♥️
tě - te, vás - vous / vos, já jsem - je suis / yo soy. Czech obviously isn't a romance language, but at least in the basics there are some striking parallels, especially with what I'm assuming are the formal and informal 2nd person pronouns. Showing the common roots of romance and slavic languages.
I’m half Czech and 20 years old, currently in the airport about to visit family near Prague. I’ve always been disappointed in myself for relying on my family in Czech to communicate in my language. Hopefully by this time next year I can surprise them and hold a conversation in their native language :).
US here. My father and his brothers all identified as Bohemian and Czech. My grandmother didn't speak any English and her sons would translate for us. I used phrases I was taught but Czech speakers would correct me. I'm worried but fascinated that they had their own low Czech. I got chewed out when I proudly said "how are you?" And was met back with "that is not formal" I am learning so much
@@DiscoLove1978 Tak možná tady na YT, ale v Praze znám několik cizinců, kteří se skutečně snaží naučit česky. Mají můj obdiv. Proč se taky učit tak těžký jazyk, který jim většinou k ničemu nebude.
Vůbec nevím, proč jsem se na tohle video začal dívat, ale je to moc pěkně udělané 😊 I have no idea why I started watching this video but it's very well made 😊
@@firestorm165I'm polish and I understand some Czech , but it's not enough to hold a conversation.But Czechs have less problems understanding polish, so you'll be able to understand some sentences.
@@firestorm165 not really, you would be able to understand some words but as a czech person I think that you will understand more russian(and slovakian ofc) than polish
thanks for preparing this lesson. I have been to Prague, Brno several times, but still yet have to learn Czech. Next time I go to Czech, I will use what I have learned to greet Czech people.
this is like 0.005% of czech language, but good luck, here are tips: 1. Old people mostly can not even slightly speak English. If you are Russian/German you can try to speak your language, maybe there will be someone who hasn't forgot those languages yet, (English wasn't taught in schools back then) 2. Young people (16-30) might understand english the best. Very slightly Russian or German language however. 3. If you are a tourist, and trust me, we can tell from a looong distance, just say the name of the place you are looking for. Trying to speak our language is an added challenge since a single letter can change meaning of the whole word and it becomes arkward cuz of your non-understandable accent. just say ,, subway? nádraží? " 4. If you are in Prague, feel free speaking English, people are used to tourists, on other cities and villages however ..?? Just.. don't. It all becomes terribly embarrasing. Find someone who will be your translator, or use one. 5. We hate fake smiles, if your happy, smile however you want. But smiling on everyone will make you look like you are high on something or you are insane 6. do not call Czech people atheist. At the times of communism, a lot of churches had been burned up, destroyed, christian people went to jail or had been followed (their family as well) and they couldn't get a job, their children could not go to schools they wanted, or they had been kicked out of shops, because sellers refused to sell them food like meat, clothes and others. It is funny calling us Atheist when on christmas, insted of Santa, we have baby Jesus. 7. do not take anything personal, we love black humor and love making fun of people and making insults. Btw we make fun of ourselfes the most. But if you, tourist, disrespect our traditions or our pride, we will remember 8. lmao proč tohle vůbec píšu. já se tak nudím help
I'm from Croatia and just wanted to know some bacis words, it is almost like Croatian, but just spelled different, I guess all slavic languages are easy to learn then😅
Ahoj Karol! Good question, unfortunately the gender of nouns needs to be learned mostly by heart. There are a few hints though, such as: - nouns ending at consonant are mostly masculine - nouns ending at the vowel A are mostly feminine - nouns ending at the vowel O are mostly neutral - nouns ending at the vowel Í or Ý are mostly neutral - nouns ending at vowel E are mostly feminine or neutral Adjectives then follow nouns, so if you see a noun in a sentence which is together with an adjective you can tell which gender the noun is by looking at the adjective: dobrÝ - masculine dobrÁ - feminine dobrÉ - neutral I hope this helps you, cheers!

Well, It is a language of Bohemia - land of Creative, Artful and Crafty Nation. Prague itself is rich in architecture. It has always been on trade crossroads for many to get inspired and to exchange knowledge, goods and arts. Prague is called the Heart of Europe, The City of hundered towers, for reasons. Even the King Charles the Forth knew why he loved it. :) Czech is one of countries with a lot of fairytales too. It was said that there is a musician in everyone there :) ...lovely
Already speaking Russian at an A2-B1 level, I must say that it is quite similar. It would probably not be that hard to learn as for someone who speaks no slavic language
I teach Portuguese as a second language, I decided to learn Czech because of my student from Prague and in order to better understand his struggle to learn Portuguese.
I’m in Pilzen now with my bf who is a native. I don’t understand anything but I catch a few words. Next time I come which might be the summer I want to be better.
So if anyone from America is Czechoslovakian like me I would like to inform you of your ancestry. You are part hun and part roman. The Huns had round heads. The romans had the white hair that turned blond/grayish in tone with blue eyes. I have all those traits.
I just talked to two drunk dudes from Serbia on Twitter spaces and told them I think i have Czech heritage and he told me to learn the language because it is in my genetics...it's comes very naturally to pronounce most of these words lol Much easier to say these words than Asain Languages. Interesting. Edit: ćau is very similar in Vietnames. Double interesting.
I learned how to say 1 sentence from my grandmother. She was the only one born (out of 12) in the states. Sadly, her mom died when she was 3 and she was sent away to live with a family who had come to the states a generation before she had so she barely knew any Czech herself. All she knew was what her sister taught her. I can say "i am a girl" in czech but I doubt im pronouncing it correctly.
I started learning this language because I just came across the fact that I was born in Yugoslavia in my past life. (A tarot reader just said it to me.)
I live in the States but I'm 25% Czech and I'd love to completely learn the language. I've tried a few times but I already have some speech issues as it is. I also can't roll my Rs, so that makes it difficult as well.
k I hope someone can answer me because I started learning Czech on Duolingo and now I'm confused af. They teach us "dekuji" as thank you, does that exist or is it just "dekuju"? Also, is "prosím" used as "please" too or just as "you're welcome" like this video said? Also arghh let me know if Duolingo is actually good for Czech because now idk. :(
Děkuji or děkuju can be used both as thank you. Prosím is normally used as Please, but can be also used as You're welcome. Of course they can't teach u everything. And learning Czech is usefull only if you live in Czech Republic or Slovakia tbh
It is normal that in Czech you have to remember the word in several variations. Example: Kočka means Cat One cat - jedna _kočka_ Two cats - dvě _kočky_ There are many cats - Je tu hodně _koček_ Im going to these cats - jdu za těmi _kočkami_ or jdu k těm _kočkám_ I prefer to learn some words first and then grammar hope this helped
Giulia Cerny Native Czech speaker here: Both děkuji and děkuju are correct. Děkuju (used in this video) is the more casual version. I would recommend you stick with děkuji, it sounds more polite and educated:-))
@@sakuraa4522 "Děkuji" is a fully formal form, but it become a bit literary and archaic. "Děkuju" is gramatically equivalent, in colloquial form, but not in all dialects. A more informal form is "díky" or "dík" which is not a verb but a substantive ("díky" in plural, "dík" in singular). "Prosím" is normally "please", but it as also a standard idiomatic reply to "děkuji". It can be also used as an invitation or offer, when you give something to somebody or you let someone in, usually with corresponding hand gesture. It could mean something like "please accept my offer/service and enjoy it."

Awee it's so sweet to know anyone wants to know MY FIRST language 🥺❤️
AHHAHAGSISG I'M LITERALLY SCREAMING TF 😭❤️
Czech sounds so beautiful! It will take a long time, but I'm going to learn it!
Yeah It will. I wish you good luck in learning our leanguage.
Finally !!! A great series of Czech language /teaching. 💖😁. Ugh so many others are alittle sentences for tourists. This girl is great teacher !
I'm from Iran and I'm willing to learn Czech. Czech is a beautiful country and I really like to visit there😍
Im Norwegian and learning czech to talk to a friend, it's a very cool langauge! It's also my first slavic language and I am struggling 😂
Ahoj 🤗 ! I'm from India and i love Czechia and their czech language 🇮🇳❤️🇨🇿
Vůbec nevím, proč jsem se na tohle video začal dívat, ale je to moc pěkně udělané 😊
I have no idea why I started watching this video but it's very well made 😊
Polish is so similar to Czech.
So if I learn Czech I'll be able to understand polish?
@@firestorm165 I don't think so... you'll be able to understand some words and what some sentences mean
@@firestorm165I'm polish and I understand some Czech , but it's not enough to hold a conversation.But Czechs have less problems understanding polish, so you'll be able to understand some sentences.
@@firestorm165 nope, but you could understand Slovak
@@firestorm165 not really, you would be able to understand some words but as a czech person I think that you will understand more russian(and slovakian ofc) than polish
I spoke with a hockey player from Slovakia. He said I did really well.
thanks for preparing this lesson.
I have been to Prague, Brno several times, but still yet have to learn Czech.
Next time I go to Czech, I will use what I have learned to greet Czech people.
as a Cantonese speaker, I fell like my tongue is underdeveloped
Haha I think the rest of the world would feel the same when learning Cantonese
Thanks so much this will really help me too much I have Czech husband and am trying to learn Czech language and am also here in Czech
this is like 0.005% of czech language, but good luck, here are tips:
1. Old people mostly can not even slightly speak English. If you are Russian/German you can try to speak your language, maybe there will be someone who hasn't forgot those languages yet, (English wasn't taught in schools back then)
2. Young people (16-30) might understand english the best. Very slightly Russian or German language however.
3. If you are a tourist, and trust me, we can tell from a looong distance, just say the name of the place you are looking for. Trying to speak our language is an added challenge since a single letter can change meaning of the whole word and it becomes arkward cuz of your non-understandable accent. just say ,, subway? nádraží? "
4. If you are in Prague, feel free speaking English, people are used to tourists, on other cities and villages however ..?? Just.. don't. It all becomes terribly embarrasing. Find someone who will be your translator, or use one.
5. We hate fake smiles, if your happy, smile however you want. But smiling on everyone will make you look like you are high on something or you are insane
6. do not call Czech people atheist. At the times of communism, a lot of churches had been burned up, destroyed, christian people went to jail or had been followed (their family as well) and they couldn't get a job, their children could not go to schools they wanted, or they had been kicked out of shops, because sellers refused to sell them food like meat, clothes and others. It is funny calling us Atheist when on christmas, insted of Santa, we have baby Jesus.
7. do not take anything personal, we love black humor and love making fun of people and making insults. Btw we make fun of ourselfes the most. But if you, tourist, disrespect our traditions or our pride, we will remember
8. lmao proč tohle vůbec píšu. já se tak nudím help
А ну окей, на русском надеюсь меня поймут :D
Beautiful Chanel beautiful teacher and beautiful language
Im Filipino🇵🇭 trying to learn czech here.
Máme podobné vlajky :D
@@wpwwsharpscum2613 to jsem si také všiml XD

Hustý
hi we are at 2024 i finish studying english and now im bored i found czech so cool i wanna learn so bad THANKS IS REALLY REALLY USEFULL !!
this is so similar to croatian! woah
I'm from Croatia and just wanted to know some bacis words, it is almost like Croatian, but just spelled different, I guess all slavic languages are easy to learn then😅
this video helps me alot. we have friends in czech who can't speak english so i have to learn czech (but i like that so its not a problem)
Wow! I really liked Czech 😍
I lived in Prague (shout out to Kobylisy and Pankrac) for 2 years. I didn't learn as much as I should have done, but refuse to lose what I learnt.
Ahoj, I'm learning cesky right now. Could you help me please? How to know or to identify that a word is the maskulin or feminin or neutrum??
Thank you
Ahoj Karol!
Good question, unfortunately the gender of nouns needs to be learned mostly by heart. There are a few hints though, such as:
- nouns ending at consonant are mostly masculine
- nouns ending at the vowel A are mostly feminine
- nouns ending at the vowel O are mostly neutral
- nouns ending at the vowel Í or Ý are mostly neutral
- nouns ending at vowel E are mostly feminine or neutral
Adjectives then follow nouns, so if you see a noun in a sentence which is together with an adjective you can tell which gender the noun is by looking at the adjective:
dobrÝ - masculine
dobrÁ - feminine
dobrÉ - neutral
I hope this helps you,
cheers!

This video is very high quality, thank you
Well, It is a language of Bohemia - land of Creative, Artful and Crafty Nation. Prague itself is rich in architecture. It has always been on trade crossroads for many to get inspired and to exchange knowledge, goods and arts. Prague is called the Heart of Europe, The City of hundered towers, for reasons. Even the King Charles the Forth knew why he loved it. :) Czech is one of countries with a lot of fairytales too. It was said that there is a musician in everyone there :) ...lovely
Thank god I do Spanish and this IS my mother tongue 😀😀😀. Nice lesson 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
*Wow Nice I'm From Nepal im coming soon Czech. I want learn Czech language .*
How you progressed in learning Czech?
Already speaking Russian at an A2-B1 level, I must say that it is quite similar. It would probably not be that hard to learn as for someone who speaks no slavic language
Learning Czech is a lot easier than I anticipated.
Very much informative for a new beginner , Greetings here in Zlin Czech Republic
My girlfriend is Czech and here I am trying to surprise her... I'm failing so hard I'm beginning to question our relationship.
Don't give up tho! She will be pleasantly surprised for sure
Thank you very much. You are the best teacher.
Thinking about learning the Czech language because some of my ancestors came from there and that I think my last name is of Czech origin.
I teach Portuguese as a second language, I decided to learn Czech because of my student from Prague and in order to better understand his struggle to learn Portuguese.
4:26 How is this spelled?
EDIT: I Googled it - it's "těší mě".
Dear Molly,
it is spelled: "Těší mě". I hope this helps.
Cheers,

very nice,i like to learn czech language ,your teaching style is credible.
Love from Sweden!
Hello!
Ahoy! i'm russian and i think it better to learn czech on your channel. maybe i will learn english too xD
Did you know that 8 sounds awesome, that's my bilingual joke of the day
¡Muchas gracias! Děkuje muc!!
I’m in Pilzen now with my bf who is a native. I don’t understand anything but I catch a few words. Next time I come which might be the summer I want to be better.
‘My native language is Turkish.But I thought Czech was sooooo cool so I wanna learn it!’
Haha, the other way around here
So if anyone from America is Czechoslovakian like me I would like to inform you of your ancestry. You are part hun and part roman. The Huns had round heads. The romans had the white hair that turned blond/grayish in tone with blue eyes. I have all those traits.
For the first time that I am happy for being born in Serbia. Similar grammar and a lot of similar words, this is going to be easy.
Wow! You makes things too easy to learn. Dekuju moc.
Notice that the dobre or dobry, is used in most languages like Polish, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, etc
Toto jsou opravdu dobrá videa, ráda vás sleduji.
Thanks for the video I’m moving soon to Prague and want to lear Czech ❤️
I just talked to two drunk dudes from Serbia on Twitter spaces and told them I think i have Czech heritage and he told me to learn the language because it is in my genetics...it's comes very naturally to pronounce most of these words lol Much easier to say these words than Asain Languages. Interesting.
Edit: ćau is very similar in Vietnames. Double interesting.
I learned how to say 1 sentence from my grandmother. She was the only one born (out of 12) in the states. Sadly, her mom died when she was 3 and she was sent away to live with a family who had come to the states a generation before she had so she barely knew any Czech herself. All she knew was what her sister taught her. I can say "i am a girl" in czech but I doubt im pronouncing it correctly.
I started learning this language because I just came across the fact that I was born in Yugoslavia in my past life. (A tarot reader just said it to me.)
If you came here to learn Czech in 30 mins,
I'm sorry to dissapoint, it ain't happening 😂
I live in the States but I'm 25% Czech and I'd love to completely learn the language. I've tried a few times but I already have some speech issues as it is. I also can't roll my Rs, so that makes it difficult as well.
Lol, Americans are so funny to us Europeans when they say I'm x% whatever.
Thank you for the classes 🙏
k I hope someone can answer me because I started learning Czech on Duolingo and now I'm confused af. They teach us "dekuji" as thank you, does that exist or is it just "dekuju"? Also, is "prosím" used as "please" too or just as "you're welcome" like this video said? Also arghh let me know if Duolingo is actually good for Czech because now idk. :(
Děkuji or děkuju can be used both as thank you. Prosím is normally used as Please, but can be also used as You're welcome. Of course they can't teach u everything. And learning Czech is usefull only if you live in Czech Republic or Slovakia tbh
It is normal that in Czech you have to remember the word in several variations. Example:
Kočka means Cat
One cat - jedna _kočka_
Two cats - dvě _kočky_
There are many cats - Je tu hodně _koček_
Im going to these cats - jdu za těmi _kočkami_ or jdu k těm _kočkám_
I prefer to learn some words first and then grammar
hope this helped
Giulia Cerny Native Czech speaker here: Both děkuji and děkuju are correct. Děkuju (used in this video) is the more casual version. I would recommend you stick with děkuji, it sounds more polite and educated:-))
@@sakuraa4522 "Děkuji" is a fully formal form, but it become a bit literary and archaic. "Děkuju" is gramatically equivalent, in colloquial form, but not in all dialects. A more informal form is "díky" or "dík" which is not a verb but a substantive ("díky" in plural, "dík" in singular).
"Prosím" is normally "please", but it as also a standard idiomatic reply to "děkuji". It can be also used as an invitation or offer, when you give something to somebody or you let someone in, usually with corresponding hand gesture. It could mean something like "please accept my offer/service and enjoy it."
one of the only things I know in Czech is “nejlepší”
It's so helpful!! Děkuju moc!
