The post 331 Rozumíš, ale nemluvíš? Příběh slowczech (Intermediate Story) appeared first on slowczech.

Learn Czech naturally through real stories and conversations.

In this episode, you’ll discover how Czechs use na and do in everyday life and learn phrases you can use today.

Hiiiii, I’m Monča and today I will tell you a simple story about my week. In this story, I used many Czech prepositions NA and DO in real, natural sentences. You will hear how we, Czechs, use these prepositions in real life. How can it help you? 

You do not have to remember a single rule; you’ll feel what sounds right — jít do kanceláře, do kavárny nebo na výlet and you can use the same sentences in a real conversation.

You want to learn even more? Listen again and again and.. znovu  and let the sentences settle in your mind.
And remember, practice makes it natural.
