This episode consists of 3 dialogues - one of them illustrates the differences between textbook Czech and real-life conversational Czech. 

The scenarios include asking for the date, discussing a friend's upcoming birthday, and a formal interaction, such as talking to police or a doctor. 

You may find these phrases useful: 'JÁ VÍM' (I know) and 'ZEPTEJ SE!' (Ask!)

In this episode, Renča shows you how to say the whole date in Czech - that means the number + the month (and yes, both change).

You will hear both versions of Czech: TEXTBOOK (= formal) as well as REAL-LIFE CZECH (= how Czech people really say it in normal conversations).

Let me know if you find it helpful when I show you both versions of Czech.

She has created her own approach that helps foreigners learn Czech with or without cases (depending on personal preference), but with the main focus on being able to communicate.

She talks about her waiting list and solutions she came up with to be able to help more and more foreigners.

MORE IS COMING.
