I love when she says, “the surprise is over”

*Starts off with a bunch of complicated linguistic terms* ...... “But that will not help you learn” *proceeds to explain how to say it right using simple words* 👏🏻😂 Love this. If only every language instructor were that honest. It’s a thumbs up from me

I love the Czech language because it is completely phonetic (unlike English or even Russian to some extent), and sounds very fluid when spoken by a native speaker.

This feeling, when you are from Belarus and watching Czech lesson in English to improve your skills in both of this languages.🙂 Sorry, if I wrote something wrong.

Thank you for putting the pronunciation the way it is, I am Turkish and almost all of the sounds are same but when people pronunciate it from an English point of view it became harder for me.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for, and you did an excellent job. I will watch it many times so I can memorize it. Plus, you are a lovely person. Thank you again.

"So 3 aliens... barely..." hahahaha and there was me where every letter sounded like an alien 🙃🙃

English is my second language but Slavic languages are my favorite languages in Europe because their grammatical inflections gives a language extremely flexible word order. This is very suitable for to make rhyme in song or meter in poetry. After learning czech, polish and russian are my next destination. Děkuju.

I'm so glad I've found this channel becasue I'm trying to learn Czech for a character in my friends video game he his working on.

Thanks for this video! I think it really helped me! I'm really looking forward to learn a bit of Czech! ❤

Don’t be fooled by our host’s serious manner. By video #4 you will find her rather playful and silly in addition to being a great teacher .

From El Salvador my native lenguage is a Spanish and I'm interested in Czech it's so amazing to listen a native explaining czech in English

Just subscribed your channel, looking forward to learn Czech from you,really appreciate your efforts for making it free and available for anyone wanting to learn.

Watching this to prepare for a 72 hour language jam where I've been allocated Czech and I love your teaching style. I can't wait to watch more.

Best Czech language Videos on KZfaq! Thank you

I love this woman 💯 she is my new hero

Premier vidéo, wow 🤩 ! Beau parcours depuis, mais à l’époque déjà, beaucoup de charme !!!

Clear, authoritative, inspiring

My second day of learning Czech！Thank you so much，and I love the calmness in your video👍👍

Hi, Your lessons are helping me in 2021.

The vowels that have the á, é, í, ó, ú and ý also tend to count as Czech letters, which is not how it is in French or Spanish, even though French and Spanish use them except the ý on a normal basis. An example is déšť in Czech that uses three different diacritical signs when it is in lowercase. I am amazed and impressed at how the Czech alphabet and language has different diacritics.

I love your presentation!

Thank you, this is very helpful. Děkuji!

Thanks you much for your nice video. it is really help me to understand. You have grate ability to teach. Publish more videos and keep it up.

My first day of Czech language and after going through many videos, finally I liked you and your way to teach is simple and makes me understand better. Thanks you :)

English guy here learning Czech for fun, really enjoying it and you're very helpful! Děkuji!

Now I'm ready to learn Czech thanks

Thank you! Very helpful video.

Thanku so much .You teach us so well.🌹👏

Ř might not be the same but similar to the Polish

Thank you so much for the work you've done with these wonderful videos! I'm an audiobook narrator and will be recording a book in which one of the characters is Czech. You're helping me so much by providing me not only the basic pronunciations but your living example so that I can do an authentic and respectful job. I'm very appreciative!

Děkuju for making this video! I just received my Czech citizenship and this was my first lesson on the Czech alphabet.

Thank you most graciously for sharing

Hi big teacher. I'm Interested to learn Czech language. I'm Arabic. And as you are like me foreigners to English. I learned a lot from your way of teaching English better. You are excellent teacher. Thank you for the lesson. Best wishes to you

Beautiful language! Loving Czech.

Ů ch ou au eu ř r + ž = rž Yes, Czech language is beautiful . I wish to learn it.

Quite quite interesting! Thankyou madam 🌹💐🌹

Thank you for starting with the alphabet!

Excellent! TYVM (thank you very much)

Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you really much ! Now I can say the Czech Beer's names haha and maybe soon discover this beautiful country 👌👌

Thank you so much 🙏💕

Great video, Thanks!

So relaxing

Fascinating languages. My town used to have a large Czech population years ago, and my former neighbor was from Czechoslovakia (before it split). All Slavic languages are difficult for English speakers, but Czech and Polish top the list for me.

Nice clarity! Thank you look so like my grandmother too ! (When she was young) So many consonant sounds ! I have been curious; trying to recover some knowledge of culture of recent family members, immigrated to north central USA in 19th C.

good thank you love from india

Thanks you for this very nice non-threatening presentation, I'm excited to get acquainted with a new language. When we get into keeping track of all the case endings later on, all bets are off. You need a spreadsheet! :-P

I believe the “r with a háček sound” can be found also in Turkish language

Děkuji!

Thank you so much! Now I can hopefully impress my Czech friend,. Thank youuu🧡

Thank you very much for this video, Dekuju !!!!

I love your english. I'm from Poland and your accent is similar to polish accent 😄 I am starting study czech language and I hope your films will help me 😁

HiGary! Do you do online tutor?

I hope I can learn this language. It looks hard but I had such a good time when I visited Prague I would love to go back and visit other cities and towns, and it seems only respectful to at least try to speak the language.

Dobrý den a děkuju vam za lekce! I had a question, if you wouldn’t mind. For years I have wondered if there is a difference between short “I/Y” and long “Í/Ý”. Some dictionaries say the difference is in both time as well as mouth shape, in which short “I/Y” is pronounced like the short “I” in English “this” or “big”, but “Í/Ý are more open like the “ee” in English “cheese” and are longer in time. But other dictionaries say short “I/Y” and long “Í/Ý” have no difference in mouth shape, in which they are identical, pronounced like “ee” in English like “cheese”, but the difference is only that the long ones are longer in length/time. May I ask what is your opinion on the difference between short “I/Y” and long “Í/Ý”? Thank you!

thanks, i will continue.

The last time I watched this video is about three years ago, but today Monday 16th May 2022 i am watching it again. Now i really need to learn Czech out of necessity. Dobrý den Gary. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

Great. Thx

Great!

Thanks a lot. You're great. I'm trying to learn a basic Czech. I wish I could find that great Czech tutor for my bilingual kids in NY. If sb knows such one please write here.

Liked it.

Is either u or ů the same as polish ł?

Unrelated but your english is so good! Some of the fancy linguistic words you said I didn't even know, which is actually quite embarrassing

Hello Dear teacher, I can not distinguish the difference between pronunciation of vowels "i" and "y". Is it possible to make a video and explain the exact pronunciation of them and explain the difference of them with more details?

Excellent video u

There is a similar "r" in the Irish language. But it's not rolled so strongly. It's more of a mix between an alveolar tap and a sh

super explained

I am learning Czech because I moved here with my husband. Not an easy one though. Need to try harder.

You are really cool teacher💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

It's a bit challenging but not very difficult and I find it interesting :-), because I have some exposure to Spanish, French & Portuguese. I really look forward to learn Czech

Personally to make the ř sound, I just make an r sound (and roll it) while doing the ž sound at the same time. I'm not sure if the sound made is correct but my Czech family says it is.

Merci, il faut que je m'entraine sur le : ch et le ř... ; )

So glad i found your channel! New sub and student...super diky :)

Hello there! I'm looking to learn czech and I think your video is really helpful to start. I'm just a bit confused about 2 letters : ř and š. I cannot grasp the difference between their pronunciation. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

In certain Spanish dialects, in the Pyrenees of Spain and in the Andes of South America, we have the sibilant R which is the same as the Czech Ř. Listen to people fom Chile, for example.

1:24 to hear it again

What you didn't mention is that d, n and t are pronunced like ď, ň and ť before i or ě.

Ř is also in asian langs. But not ř but a aspirared version. Similar to ř and softer

Thanks!

I was born in Czech Republic but I live in England and I'm having trouble pronouncing the 'r' and and the 'ch' sound

About the Ř pronunciation I have heard it in Bolivia and the north of Chile as a mispronounce of the Spanish R. I am not saying this is how people from those countries pronounce the R. I am chilean and we pronounce the R as the rest of Hispanic countries, and in Bolivia I heard some people pronouncing the R as in English, as a regular Spanish R and a few people like Ř. Really interesting because when you pronounced it I was like "huh, I've heard this before". The people I met who pronounced it like that though were mostly people with poor pronunciation of the Spanish language in general by the way. But yeah, pretty cool!

I am grateful to find you

děkuju, the Ř is very strange for me. I am also unsure what the difference between u and umlaut u is. Furthermore, I sense a subtle difference between I and y, is this true? Once again, your video is very helpful. děkuju!

nice video

Is Czech easy to learn

That weird R sound does not only occur in czech, I'm from Costa Rica, the R sometimes is combined with an -Ych (in spanish) combination is used mostly by low class, those of us who are used to imitating that pronunciation have little issue with that sound. If anyone knows what I'm saying some words will be pronounced like "Srshico" instead of "Rico"... Guess I'm lucky now that I'm learning Czech hahahha

I’m Slovenian and our word for the wheat plant rye is “rž”...so I guess I already kinda know how to say Ř :)
