How do the days of the week change when we add V/VE (eg. on Monday - v pondělí)?

This episode provides practical tips for both beginners and advanced learners to sound more like a native speaker. Renča shows you how Czechs really pronounce the days of the week. And no, we don't pronounce the preposition V as v most of the time (v pondělí x v neděli). So definitely listen and try to say it as we do - it will be much easier ;)
