Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
This is styled an 'essential' grammar, and is certainly not anything like a comprehensive grammar (mluvnice) of Czech (eština) - the Czech language (eský jazyk), with its strong tradition of writing from the late thirteenth century onwards. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book 6 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
This is the third Czech study book that I have bought and this is an absolutely fantastic reference book that helps you understand very clearly what some of that difficult grammar and language points really mean.

Not for Czech novices, but great for those that have learnt some basic Czech through other means and want to know why what they are saying is constructed in that way!

If you want to know how to speak Czech, this is the book for you. No nonsense or psychology just the rules and structure. Very well put together

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good (with one reservation) 17 Feb 2013
By paulzwo
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I echo the praise for this book from the previous reviewers. As mentioned, this is a bit heavy for a beginner, but perfect for someone moving to intermediate stage and attempting to make sense of the grammar (and grammar is all-important in Czech - there's no way of progressing until you've got it nailed).
The reservation ? The author's decision to present cases in a non-standard order. It's standard for Czech to list cases in 1-Nominative 2-Genitive 3-Dative 4-Accusative up to 7-Instrumental, but the author has arbitrarily decided to list in 1-4-2-3-6-7-5 order ! If this was the only reference material you ever used it wouldn't matter much, but it's irritating to have to remember that the format differs from all other reference material, so that you find the accusative form where you expect the genitive to be, and so on. But that irritation apart, it's an excellent reference book.
