    As a year-long learner of the Czech language and Czech culture, I can only say how wonderful an experience it has been. Moye manzelka je napul cheska and has been my inspiration for this ‘obsession’. I have become totally absorbed by this language but obviously need to travel to the CZ to immerse myself in it. I have no idea whether this belongs on your blog/comment section or not but wanted to say it anyway. Michael in Raleigh, NC USA

    Hi Mike,

    that is awsome that you are willing to learn such a hard language! Most Americans would just give up! I hope that this bilingual website will help you in accomplishing these goals..

    Dekuji Tanja! No language is easy if one’s goal is relative fluency; all would need intensive work. This year-long quest has led me to form a Czech language interest group here and to find a tutor (a graduate student here for a year (z Prahy). As I learn the language, I learn the culture; I’ve made a czech cherry-egg noodle pudding and am listening to czech folk music (drives my wife crazy). I have found that the language is the key to all knowledge of a place not your own. Dvorak may have lived in Iowa, U.S. while he wrote ‘The New World Symphony’ but I’m sure he thought about it in Czech. I’ve never before had such a wonderful experience about learning of another place and culture as I have had this last year. Your website was suggested to me by one of my group – I very much enjoy all I have seen (can’t wait to delve into the differences in the animal sounds (I am a veterinarian). Thanks again.

    Here is to your slogan “small bohemian steps to world domination”. You’ve got to love this one. Everyone else has tried, why not the Czechs? Couldn’t do any worse. In light of small steps, these are mine: many of the businesses I visit now know the polite czech words (hello, thanks etc.), I’ve got several people interested in czech folk and fusion music and we now have a 20 member czech language interest group which just began in June. We are on our way to making Raleigh, NC, USA a hotbed of czech culture and interest (in the most unlikely of places). I’m having a great time! Thanks for the website – it is wonderful!

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone is looking for a native Czech teacher for the summer or for a full-time nanny who is able to speak Czech to your children. Thanks.
