Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Czech, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Czech and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

En: On a summer afternoon, when the sun was shining at full strength and a gentle breeze caressed their faces, Václav and Jolana arrived at a luxurious spa in a gated community. Cs: Místo bylo obklopené zelenými zahradami a jemným šuměním fontán. En: The place was surrounded by green gardens and the gentle sound of fountains.
