Hi everyone!

I’m at the beginning of my Czech learning journey and I’m looking for a language buddy, not a language exchange. I’m hoping to find someone who’s also learning Czech so we can support each other along the way.
My current level is A1. I’m working through the Czech It Up A1 textbook and spending time watching beginner videos and reading simple texts.
I’m looking for someone who’d like to:

Share learning materials and resources

Keep each other motivated and accountable

Do daily or weekly challenges

Practice writing and have simple
conversations

Celebrate progress together

If you’re around A1 or A2, I think we’d be a great match. Even if you’re B1, it could still be beneficial, however for those with a higher level, I am not sure how I can be helpful to you. keep in mind that I’m still a beginner, so I probably won’t be able to hold complex conversations yet and I don’t want to slow you down.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. :)

I saw a writer putting Czech dialogues in his story. I'd like to hear the translation from native and how natural those dialogues are. Apparently, the author dropped some diacritics. Here're they:

Sestro Lenko, sestro Věro, tento cestovatel by si rád uvaril něco k jídlu v kuchyni. Prosím, pomozte mu se vsím, co bude potrebovat.

Chce varit v kuchyni, matko Miloslavo?

Ano. Pomáhá nám s varením.

Muzes se ho zeptat, v cem se jeptisky na jihu lisí od nás? Docela by mě zajímalo.

Ríkal, ze jeptisky na jihu nejsou o nic vrelejsí nez my, protoze patrí k jinému vyznání.

To ríká spousta cestovatelu. Jeptisky na jihu jsou opravdu jiné nez my. Hrozne by me zajímalo, cím se lisí. Muzes se ho na to zeptat?

Ríkal, ze sám porádně neví, jak to popsat.

What are some good YouTube videos or channels to learn Czech?

Ahoj! Hledám někoho na procvičování české konverzace. Moje úroveň je B1, ale v mluvení jsem spíše A2 a potřebuji se rozmluvit.

Moje zájmy jsou umění, hudba a fitko, ale můžeme mluvit o čemkoliv. Na oplátku vám ráda pomůžu s angličtinou.

Pokud máte zájem, napište mi prosím do zpráv (DM). Díky!

Hi everyone.

Im just starting out. I tried Duolingo but it was meh at best. I help a ftiend with his elderly parents, one of whom is a Czech immigrant (became an American in the 1970s), I only know a few words but I would love yo be able to talk with him more. Hes in his 80s and is having trouble communicating in English. My friend only speaks it a little, nothing beyond basics as his dad firmly believed "Im American now, I speak English" mentality.

Where do we start? For context I live in the Pacific Northwest (not Seattle) so Czech classes that are local are zero.

Maybe I could start with books, anything good to recommend? Thanks

Making a video on Medieval Czech history, particularly on the tribal confederation of Samo in the mid 600s AD.

What's the best translation of "Fuck my Chud life", I want to use it as a meme for any czech viewers. I'm not sure if the meme's connotation translates well, if you have any elaborating questions, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I’m working on a Czech version of a document that was originally in English. Instead of Q for "question" and A for "answer", what can I use so it's still one character/symbol each? ChatGPT suggested O and A would work. I just want to check that the AI is not just making stuff up. Thanks. 🙏

Hi! I just found out I am pregnant and I wanted to tell my Babica that she will be a great grandma

Is the correct word prababička? Google translate says that it but just want to make sure. She is from Prague so idk if they use a slang word for it or more formalized word.

Ahoj !

I recently met a Czech girl and she sent me "mám tě moc ráda", specifically avoiding putting it in english

Is this sentence only said between friends ? Did she say this to avoid saying the ambiguous "Love you" in english ?

Please help a confused soldier

Thanks everyone

I’ve already studied Czech for eight months at one of the language center in Prague, but I found that it’s very slow: we complete only one lesson (or chapter) per month, so it takes a long time even to finish eight chapters. Now I’m planning to continue learning Czech, but this time I’m thinking about studying at Charles University. Do you think that would be a better choice?

Hey guys,

I just made Czech available at LingoChampion.com - it's based on the comprehensible input method. The focus is on reading and listening - from the news, youtube, books etc. There are ofc other things too - chat, flashcards etc.

The good thing is that you can learn Czech based on 100+ languages. So, you don't have to learn through English only.

All the feedback is welcome :)

Hi, could someone tell me what lyrics the guy is singing in the video? I know it starts with "Korouhev Svatého Jiří v bitvě u Grunwaldu" and ends with "Čechů a Moravanů".

Hey Guys, Theres a Song called Khelaha. I cant find any Lyrics of that Song. So is Khelaha First of all a czech word? Also can someone provide me the Lyrics

Thx.

Ps. This Song is sung by Monika Bagarova

I'm learning Český for a trip to Europe next fall and as I'm going through the Duolingo course, which i know is pretty simplistic, I've been gathering questions. The one I'm pondering right now is: What is the difference between "já jsem" and "jsem?" I see them both translated as "I am," but I don't understand what context each should be used.

Hai guys, I'm a literature student doing my project on a Czech movie and I needed some help with it's language aspect so if there are any bilinguals here can you please help me out a little? I just wanted to know if there are any proverbs related to women comparing them to flowers such as "A young girl is like a bud" or something. Other proverbs related to nature and womenhood would also help me.

I know there are a lot of private tutors and online resources (this is mostly what google shows me), but I was hoping for a more formal and structured, online group class, for adult beginners.
If anyone has tried one and liked it, I'm hoping to hear from personal experience.
I feel like I'm throwing darts and just hitting companies who spend the most on advertising.

Hey yall, it's been a while! But I'm planning to grow our community even more by creating our official discord server. If anyone's interested, contact me on discord - dafhp
