Course Overview
Speak Czech through engaging stories & simplified grammar, real videos with a native speaker, worksheets & quizzes
Ahoj, and welcome to my Czech for beginners follow-up course. My name is Tereza and I am a Czech native speaker from Prague, the Czech Republic.
This course is intended for complete beginners or for people who want to sharpen their basics of Czech. Whatever your motivation might be, I am here to help you decide whether or not learning Czech is worth your time and energy. You will learn the basics of authentic Czech that you will be able to use in everyday situations. You do not need to have any previous knowledge of Czech, but make sure you watch the first two lessons (either in this course or in the free course) before you start with the lesson 3. I also recommend you to check out my Youtube channel where I upload videos about the Czech alphabet and basic verbs (the link is on my profile).
In this beginner course you will learn the system of Czech cases. The aim of this course is to help you practice Czech grammar through short stories about a Czech-American girl called Anna. This course has 10 lessons and each lesson covers one specific grammatical topic in Czech. From lesson 4 forward, each lesson covers one Czech case. The vocabulary in this course will cover family, friends, food, housing and travelling. The lessons are made in a form of a video combined with quizzes and various exercises on a separate worksheet. You will also find transcriptions and translations on this worksheet.
After the completion of this course you will be able to present yourself, talk about your every day life and describe it using Czech cases. You will understand how Czech grammatical system works and you will be able to actively use it through these Czech cases.
I hope you will enjoy this course and thank you for enrolling, let’s do it.

Thank you Tereza for creating a wonderful, fun and exciting way to learn the Czech language. I have taken several courses of the Czech language online for a number of years and NEVER have I enjoyed a Czech online course as I do this one. Worth every minute and dollars spent. I can’t wait to start speaking with my daughter-in-law (she is originally from Prague) and her family. They will be so impressed by how much I’ve actually learned in a matter of 2 months taking your first paid course. How I didn’t find your course before this, is truly confusing to me. Your course has answered so many questions about ‘declension’ which no one, not my daughter-in-law or her family would help me with because as they put it, they learned it from the time they were born and continued in school. It’s natural to them. They too have told me what you have said in this course, "don’t worry about the endings, we will still understand you.” But I, like some others, want to understand why you conjugate endings the way you do so again, thank you for finally unraveling the puzzle that has been in my head for years. I can’t wait for the next chapter. Your simplified way of teaching is exactly what I needed. Again, thank you so much!

I love the learning strategy all in Czech and lots of repetition. Speaking and listening first rather than reading and writing.

Before this course I kind of brushed over case endings. I practiced some and watched a few grammar videos on YouTube but none of it really stuck. While doing this course I started to recognize case endings more readily when doing practice in Duolingo. It added a new element where case endings now came into play as something that I considered. After completing this course I feel much more comfortable with case endings and I feel that this was the best resource for learning them. The pacing was good, the stories were interesting, and I liked the included worksheets.
