I don't usually get the chance to talk with people about a slavic language like Czech. But there's a lot of Americans and Canadians who are learning Czech. So in the newest podcast eisode, I talk to Eliška, a certified language coach of Czech, to see how the grammar and the spelling and the syllable stress, the rhythm, and even the intonation are very different between English and Czech. This was insanely interesting!
