DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK CZECH? - Textbook 1 in pdf

Product detailed description

"Do You Want To Speak Czech?" (Volume 1) is a modern textbook of contemporary Czech for English-speaking foreign learners from beginning to intermediate levels.
Its aim is to present the principles of the Czech langauge in the most accessible form. Our textbook is communicative – you will learn the principles of Czech by means of the
conversational method.
Through rich conversation you will be able to use the language in all spheres of social life: in the city, at the hotel, in restaurants, shops, post offices, and other places of business; at the station, airport, customs office, on the highway and so on. You will be able to make appointments and give invitations, as well as to conduct both social conversations and simple negotiations in Czech.
At the same time, you will be learning the necessary grammar: the 15 lessons contain  the basic grammatical system of the Czech language. The grammatical tables at the
end of the textbook (easy-to-survey charts of declension, conjugation and prepositions) will help you to gain a complete view of the Czech grammatical system.
The textbook contains
● Introduction to Czech phonetics
● Introductory picture-lesson (Lesson 0) "Just listen and repeat"
● 15 lessons; each lesson is conceived as a lexical unit
● Basic social phrases "What do we say?"
● Public notices
● Grammatical tables
● Key to the exercises including the translations of the dialogues in Lessons 1–6 for
a better understanding of Czech sentences at the start of your studies
● Czech-English dictionary
● Grammatical index
The introductory picture-lesson will enable you to begin to understand Czech by hearing
Czech pronunciation and learning the most common expressions. Knowledge of
these expressions will help you to learn grammar in the lessons that follow. You will
achieve the correct pronunciation by repeating the words and sentences as spoken by
your teacher or on the audio cassette.
Each lesson has the following scheme:
❖ Basic vocabulary of the lesson
❖ Grammar (Gr)
❖ Dialogues and exercises (Cv) aimed at mastering the grammar
❖ Text 1 and Text 2 relating to the topic of the lesson
❖ Exercises aimed at mastering the vocabulary and sentence structure
❖ Model conversational exercises relating to the given topic ("Oral exercises")
An audio recording accompanies the lesson material of the textbook.

The textbook is also suitable for self-study.
A complementary Workbook for Volume 1 is available as well.
The second Volume, "Do You Want To Speak Even Better Czech?" is a continuation of this Volume One. The two volumes together form a self-contained language course.
We hope you will enjoy your study of Czech and that this book will make it easier for you.
Every beginning is difficult, but "bez práce nejsou koláče" ("without work there is no cake") or, as we say in English, "no pain, no gain".
