In this episode, Renča takes you on a journey back in time, comparing her likes and dislikes at age 20 to her current preferences. 

In this way you will refresh structures to express preferences in both the past and present tense. Renča shares her changing interests in meditation, walking with a dog, baking, cooking, ginger tea, traveling, reading, swimming, and umbrellas. 

If you aren't familiar with these structures in Czech, go back to episodes #12, #14 and #15 (season 2).

Renča has created a short story about Martin's day. Why? It will give you a chance to practice all the verbs in the 3rd person (masculine) as well as time (v půl sedmé, ve tři čtvrtě na pět etc.), places and exressions useful when you want to talk about your day.

If you are a beginner or you struggle with listening, use the part in the slow mode first. Listen to it without a handout at first. It may be frustrating, I know. But your ears need to get used to the Czech sounds and words. Try to understand from the context as much as possible. Then use the handout. If you still struggle, use the translations on my website. Once you feel comfortable (it may take several days), push yourself and listen repeatedly to the fast version (without a handout). It may be really challenging at first, but don't give up. It's just like in the gym - your ears need to get used to the "heavy weights" (= fast mode). 

Listening to the episode just once isn't enough.

In this special episode,Renča celebrates the final week of season two by reflecting on the journey so far, with over 115 episodes to date. This week's theme, 'Back in Time,' revisits episodes from season one and two, tweaking them to reinforce vocabulary and practice past tense in Czech. 

This episode focuses on revising the months, places, and past tense verbs through questions and answers. Renča reads slowly at first and then at a faster pace, providing extra practice for you.

In this episode, Renča shares with you 2 dialogues in the past tense. You will have the chance to practice the expressions you have learnt this week (#51-#54).

You will hear both dialogues in Standard Czech (= textbook version = the one you need for exams or formal situations). 

And as a bonus, you will hear the first dialogue in a really informal version (real-life Czech). Renča has used lots of informal expressions (also the way she pronounces certain words - eg. od - do, zítra,... - expresses the level of informality (to be honest, she wouldn't use as many informal expressions in one dialogue (it's too informal for her taste), but she wanted to show you different options).
