Hi Tanja. I actualy had hard time learning english when I was a teen and you won’t believe me when I tell you that I still have a slight accent. I definitely don’t sound like an aussie . But I owe my written czech to the six years I attended saturday-czech-school throughout my high school years. And the fact that australia is where my home is, but Czech R. is where my heart belongs.

To Adrienne: that’s great! keep those Czech words going! See what I mean by my Czechmate diary under-title “Small Bohemian Steps to world domination”??? You are a great example of that!!!

To Gabi: I can’t believe that you have lived in Australia for so long (almost your whole life) and even your WRITTEN Czech is so good!

Na techto strankach jsem poprve a hned jsem si je dala do bookmark. Moc se mi libi vsechny zajimave a legracni stories a asi dneska zkusim jeden z tvych receptu.
Jinak tohle je bomba. Ziju v Aust. od svych 11let (je mi 37) a nekdy taky nevim jestli to slovo ktere vyslovuji je zpravne ceske nebo jen mnou vymyslene. Strasne jsem se nasmala tem komentarum. Ja podobne rikam.. jdu ven s rubbishem, nebo ze se jde shoppingovat. Mam taky 2 male deti a snazime se porad na ne mluvit cesky, ale obcas mam problemy, protoze pul vety reknu cesky a tu druhou pulku anglicky. Tak se jim ani nemuzu divit kdyz nic z toho nepochopi. ‘uvidime se pozdeji’

I spent a year in the Czech republic and naturally I did this as well.

When I didn’t know the czech verb I would just add “-ovat” to the English one… And, often I added “-ing” Like “it’s snezing!”

I still, even though I rarely hang out with anyone speaking czech here, integrate words like pozdeji, pohode, pozor, pockej and prosim into my daily convserations.

Lenka, good for you that your kids speak both languages. I think it’s very important and it will surely keep a special bond between you and your children I don’t have any children yet, but when I do I will make you they speak my language, too (it’s Slovak)
