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. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. 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: On the Karlův most, it had just started to rain. Cs: Přes den bylo horko, ale odpoledne přineslo déšť. En: It had been hot during the day, but the afternoon brought rain. Cs: Václav, Tereza a Jolana stáli bez deštníku, koukali na zamračenou oblohu. En: Václav, Tereza, and Jolana stood without an umbrella, looking at the cloudy sky. Cs: Václav, obvykle pohroužený do svých vědeckých myšlenek, právě chytal kapky na brýle. En: Václav, usually engrossed in his scientific thoughts, was catching drops on his glasses. Cs: Tereza, unavená učitelka, si vzdychla. En: Tereza, a tired teacher, sighed. Cs: Jolana, vždy plná energie a vtipů, se snažila přijít na nějakou komickou situaci z této kalamity. En: Jolana, always full of energy and jokes, was trying to come up with some comic situation from this calamity. Cs: „Měli bychom najít úkryt,“ navrhl Václav a rozhlížel se. En: \"We should find shelter,\" suggested Václav, looking around. Cs: Všude kolem turisté se schovávali pod stánky a deštníky. En: All around, tourists were hiding under stalls and umbrellas. Cs: „Podívej, tam něco je,“ ukázala Tereza směrem ke skupině lidí pod velkým altánem s cedulí 'Průvodce po Praze'.
