Hello, everyone!
I offer this course for those who are interested in exploring the Czech language & culture in an entertaining way. You will enjoy learning practical phrases, and colorful colloquial expressions used in various situations. Not to mention, I make sure to highlight the new vocabulary and grammar and link them back to each of their corresponding dialogue. With the new update, this video course also comes with a downloadable 87-page e-book with extra material and fun exercises!
You will learn some formal everyday situations: sending a package by registered mail, exchanging money, making a complaint, buying a train ticket, getting a fine on public transport and making an appointment with the hairdresser. You will also be introduced to some informal situations: meeting the parents-in-law and having small talk with your coworker. The material that I present here are the eleven original conversations, which are narrated by ten awesome native Czech speakers. You will be able to download the audio files of each dialogue alongside the original transcript and its English translation.
This course is designed as a stand-alone product. For those who have not been exposed to the Czech language, I highly recommend my previous course titled A Fantastic Journey Into the Czech Language & Culture.
Looking forward to the opportunity of working together through this course!
