In this quick introduction, you will see what to expect from this course.
In the first lesson, you will learn about Anna, a Czech-American woman. You will practice the basics of Czech like nationalities, personal pronouns and the verb ''to be''.
In the second lesson, you will learn about Anna's typical day. You will be able to use the most frequent verbs like ''to work'', ''to eat'', ''to drink'' etc.
In this story, we will learn about Anna's flat and her brother, who is also her roommate. Be sure to enable the captions (subtitles).
Now we will master the grammatical genders in Czech and you will be able to divide them into their respective categories (in the following quiz).

In this last part of the lesson 3, we will learn how you can say the verb "to live" in Czech.
In this first video of the lesson 4, we will practice the verb "mít - to have".
Now we will move on to the system of Czech cases. You will learn what are those and how they are used in Czech.
Our first case is the accusative case which is the most frequent one. You will learn how to use it together with the verb "mít - to have". For now we will only focus on the accusative singular.

Ahoj, and welcome to my Czech for beginners follow-up course. My name is Tereza and I am a Czech native speaker from Prague, the Czech Republic.
This course is intended for complete beginners or for people who want to sharpen their basics of Czech. Whatever your motivation might be, I am here to help you decide whether or not learning Czech is worth your time and energy. You will learn the basics of authentic Czech that you will be able to use in everyday situations. You do not need to have any previous knowledge of Czech, but make sure you watch the first two lessons (either in this course or in the free course) before you start with the lesson 3. I also recommend you to check out my Youtube channel where I upload videos about the Czech alphabet and basic verbs (the link is on my profile).
In this beginner course you will learn the system of Czech cases. The aim of this course is to help you practice Czech grammar through short stories about a Czech-American girl called Anna. This course has 10 lessons and each lesson covers one specific grammatical topic in Czech. From lesson 4 forward, each lesson covers one Czech case. The vocabulary in this course will cover family, friends, food, housing and travelling. The lessons are made in a form of a video combined with quizzes and various exercises on a separate worksheet. You will also find transcriptions and translations on this worksheet.
After the completion of this course you will be able to present yourself, talk about your every day life and describe it using Czech cases. You will understand how Czech grammatical system works and you will be able to actively use it through these Czech cases.
I hope you will enjoy this course and thank you for enrolling, let’s do it.
