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. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Prague, Český Krumlov, or Karlovy Vary? Maybe you want to speak Czech with your grandparents from Brno?

En: In the old brick orphanage, not far from the center of Praha, there was silence everywhere, except for the distant sound of children's laughter. Cs: Bylo jaro a zahrady kolem sirotčince se překrásně zelenaly. En: It was spring, and the gardens around the orphanage were beautifully green. Cs: Karel, jedenáctiletý chlapec s hnědými vlasy a zvídavýma očima, se procházel po chodbách se zjevným neklidem. En: Karel, an eleven-year-old boy with brown hair and curious eyes, was walking through the corridors with evident unease. Cs: Přemýšlel o Petře, jejich oblíbené pečovatelce. En: He was thinking about Petra, their favorite caretaker. Cs: Petra měla odejít a Karel se bál, že ztratí jedinou dospělou osobu, které věřil. En: Petra was going to leave, and Karel feared losing the only adult he trusted. Cs: Petra byla pro děti jako slunce. En: Petra was like the sun for the children. Cs: Rozuměla jim, naslouchala a vždycky měla úsměv na tváři. En: She understood them, listened, and always had a smile on her face. Cs: Každému věnovala svou pozornost a lásku.
