Product Description

Review
'Colloquial Czech is a most impressive publication, which draws on a wealth of practical experience and knowledge and is written very much with the learner in mind.' - Irish Slavonic Studies

Product Description
This new edition brings the course completely revised with new material. Czech is spoken by over 10 million people. It is closely related to the other members of the Slavic language family but, unlike Russian, uses the Roman alphabet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book and cdroms, 4 Jan 2004
By Fezzy (London, England) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Colloquial Czech: The Complete Course for Beginners (PB + Cassettes) (Paperback)
THis book is great, the cdroms that come with the book are great, but it seems a little rushed, seriously! the people on the cdrom speak ever so fast. I know that czech people speak fast but this cdrom lacks gaps between words!
Thank god for the rewind button (in the case of the cassette).

5.0 out of 5 stars The best place to start, 6 Nov 2004
By C. MUMMERY (Örnsköldsvik, Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Colloquial Czech: The Complete Course for Beginners (PB + Cassettes) (Paperback)
I started liking this book when I read the introduction and the author for once told the truth: learning czech isn't easy. But given that tough task I think this is one of the best places to start. It's a well laid out, uncluttered book with two tapes (& CD's)packed with simple, clearly spoken dialogues that can be listened to repeatedly. Yes, the dialogues are not spoken very slowly in the beginning but they do get faster towards the end! Overall, good value for the price and a well thought out book/tape combination. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good as introduction, but more structured grammer necessary, 28 Sep 2004
I found this book very useful, but I have also found some problems in the book.One of the problems with this book is that it shows various "cases" of words piece by piece, and not in a structured way like in a table. I am sure that the author deliberately chose this way, but I must say that for a beginner, it is extremely difficult to memorize piece by piece without any systematic way. So, I would recommend you buy some grammar book as well.Another problem is that this book shows the "cases" of words in a different order from how it is actually taught in the Czech Republic. More specifically, the order of the cases should be: 1. Nominative, 2. Genitive, 3. Dative, 4. Accusative, 5. Vocative, 6. Locative, and 7. Instrumental. All Czech people and foreign students learn the cases in this order so that they can memorize. So, it is not a good idea to change the order simply because some cases have similar forms (such as nominative and accusative).On the other hand, this book is very good because it shows real spoken Czech, not written one. I think you can use what you have learnt immediately in the real life.All in all, I can recommend this book to any beginner who wants to use the language in the real life, and not to read Czech literature.It is definitely better to buy a package with CD's and cassettes so that you can develop your listening skills if you do not live in the Czech Republic.
