@@hendrikmluvicesky Kinda both honestly. There are some wild consonant clusters that sound really hard but any ž, š and č sound like way softer versions of our ż, sz and cz. And where we use ć Czech uses t which makes a hard sound.
It works the other way around too, Polish sounds kinda funny and cute to us too. It's not really about softness or hardness, it's more that Polish uses a lot of words that sound archaic or are used in a slightly different meaning and it ends up sounding like a small child making cute mistakes when speaking.
Alespoň, jak Němec, bydlíš v země, která sdílejí hranice s Českem. Učím se český a bydlím na druhé straně Atlantiku. Je to těžký, že? Přeju ti hodně štěstí a jen tak dál!
Hey I dont wanna be rude.. i just wanna help you with your czech.. im native.. the correct message would be: Alespoň, jako Němec, bydlíš v zemi, která sdílí hranice s Českem. Učím se česky a bydlím na druhé straně Atlantiku. Je to těžký, že? Přeju ti hodně štěstí a jen tak dál! .. no big mistakes, ur good.. czech is really hard
Ano někteří neumí ani r natož ř a to se opravdu nedá poslouchat😁 za mě ještě respekt, že Němec má snahu a chce se naučit česky, to se jen tak nevidí 👍🏻
Když si vzpomenu na první polovinu dvacátého století a česko-německé vztahy a teď se snaží Němec jen tak naučit česky... To je úžasné, doufám, že tě to neopustí! :)
I admire your effort to learn Czech even though "you don't need it" for work purposes, as you put it. Being able to understand the mother tongue of your significant other is far more important (in my opinion). All the best of luck! Your _ř_ sounds great, by the way.
Hi Zuzka, that is so cool, you watched one of my videos and took the time to write such a nice comment. Just some days ago I had watched your Part 1 video on the use of se & si. That is really one of the areas I am struggeling with a lot.
@@hendrikmluvicesky I watched a couple of your videos. They are fun to watch and I think you have the right approach to learning languages - being optimistic, having fun with the language, having no fear of making mistakes. _Jen tak dál!_ I admire the people who learn Czech, no matter the reason. I am fascinated by stories and motivation to learn Czech, which my students share with me. _Hodně štěstí s procvičováním zájmen se a si._ It takes some time to get it in your system but it's worth it.
Takhle, švédština pro Němce je něco jiného, protože oba jazyky náleží do skupiny germánských jazyků a švédština je němčině hodně podobná. To je v podstatě jako pro nás polština: lidé jsou udivení, že jsem se naučil polsky, přičemž ten jazyk je slovanský a stále hodně podobný, takže není tak těžký.
@@kankaj Ve tvarech pomocného slovesa být v minulém čase se tvar 2. os. j. č. jsi nahrazuje pouhým ‑s, které se spojuje s osobním zvratným zájmenem: vrátil ses, přál sis to, ty ses na to nekoukal (tvary vrátil jsi se, přál jsi si to, ty jsi se na to nekoukal jsou sice zejména v mluveném jazyce časté, ale dosud nekodifikované). Rovněž v podmiňovacím způsobu užíváme stažené ses, sis: ty by ses nekoupal, aby sis nečetl, kdyby ses podíval (nikoli *by jsi se, *kdyby jsi se, *aby jsi se).
Němčina je jediným germánským jazykem skloňujícím podstatná jména, používá čtyři pády. Švédština je oproti němčině mnohem jednodušší a i můj švédský kamarád, žijící v Česku zhruba šest let, byl zhrozen, když jsem se ho zeptal, zda by se nechtěl učit německy. Natož aby se začal učit česky.
In Czech language we have something called syllable-creating R and L. Every word with no consonants always have at least one R or L, which basically substitutes vowels in these words. I can't really explain it well, but maybe you can try to look it up and it could help you with your learning. Good luck with your Czech.
@@hendrikmluvicesky I don't think you will find a lot of exceptions, maybe some onomatopoeia like "pst" ( = be quiet like English shhh). Also the L and R creating syllables work in all kind of words, for example the town name Brno. As a beginner, you might think that Brno is only one syllable, because it only has one vowel, but in fact it is two. Br-no. The R is substituting a vowel and since most Czech words have accent on the first syllable, the accent is on R.
Yes, r nd l are *semivowels* in Czech, that's why we have no problem creating phrases like "Vlk zhlt hrst chrp" and the well-known "Strč prst skrz krk."
@@hendrikmluvicesky You'd be surprised that the Slovak language has more words without vowels than Czech language has. Both languages share some no-vowels words like krk (neck), vlk (wolf), brk (quill) but Slovak has words like štrk (štěrk in Czech, gravel in English), stĺp (sloup in Czech, column or pillar in English) and some more. So yes, Slovak language sounds softer than Czech but still has its own surprises. I asked my Georgian friend if the Gerogian language (kartuli) has any no-vowel words and he answered to me that there's no word of that kind in Georgian language which may sounds strange if you know how the Georgian sounds.
The term in English is “syllabic” or “vocalic” consonants. In principle, you pronounce the schwa after each such consonant. When combined with consonants clusters, they can get quite tongue twisting for foreigners to pronounce; even such basic words as “čtvrtek” /tʃtvrətek/ (Thursday). However, I believe that the hardest part of learning Czech is dealing with the noun and adjective inflection systems, perhaps also the differences between the formal and informal registers. As a matter of fact, native speakers of Czech make all kinds of unintentional grammatical mistakes at a fairly large scope, professional speakers or writers less so but some of them included too. This may apply to all languages and their speakers though…
Your Ř is perfect, which is not that surprising when you speak seweral germanic languages. For example in Icelandic, when there is R at the end of the word, it sounds pretty close to Czech Ř.
I wish you good luck with your goals. Be careful though, you have set the bar very high and I don't want to doubt neither your abilities or your motivation, but 12 months to get to B1/B2 with Czech is quite frankly, very bold. I'm saying that to potentially prevent you becoming upset with yourself if you don't hit that goal. But as long as you don't consider it a hard deadline, you'll be fine 😊 jinými slovy, hodně štěstí!
Hallo! Ich komme aus Tschechien und spreche seit meiner Geburt Tschechisch. Seit dem Beginn des Krieges in der Ukraine kamen Flüchtlinge zu uns. Ich habe einigen von ihnen Tschechisch beigebracht und später haben sie mir gedankt, weil mein Lehrstil anders war. Diese Erfahrung hat mir geholfen, da ich Lehrer werden möchte, und es hat ihnen gleichzeitig auch geholfen. Wenn du möchtest, kann ich dir auch Tschechisch beibringen. Ich liebe Sprachen und beherrsche Tschechisch, Slowakisch, Englisch und Deutsch. Momentan lerne ich auch Spanisch und Ukrainisch.
so i am a czech native, and even when i was in the elementary school said to my self: " why tf we have words without vowels." And then it came in the third year of our school i have learned that in czech you have the vowels and then the "Slabikotvorné R a L." which you can use in the words instead of vowels. I know only czech that have this feature, i havent heard of any other language having this.
What a nice decision!! I’m Czech but if I was a German, I’d be terrified of Czech language. There’s a really difficult grammar and it’s hard for pronouncing. But it’s really kind of you that you decided learn this language for communicating with your girlfriend and she must be really happy about it.
Obdivuju lidi, co se učí Česky, protože Čeština je těžká i pro nás Čechy a spousta z nich ji nemá ani ráda. Máte tu pády, vzory, časování, Ř a další fakt docela neobvyklé a složité věci. Respekt a good luck.

its one of the hardest languages out there.. So much words with the same meaning as the original.. I cant even imagine learning czech as a foreign guy. Even Czechs have sooo much problem to write and some even speak czech properly XD Hodně štěstí!
Hodně štěstí- němčinu jsem se učila 3 roky a nešlo mi to... tak si dost dobře dokáži představit šok jak ta slova vypadají a jak skladby vět fungují... Držím palce!
Great video. I have a Czech wife and I've been trying to learn Czech for more than a year now. I can order food and drink, basic directions, basic conversations, but getting to a level of a continues conversation, back and forth, seams impossible ( I know it's not, Just seams that way). I would love to have an extended stay there and immerse myself but that is not possible at the moment. It's a difficult, frustrating journey and I was also told language learning is not my cup of tea. I hope you get to the level you're striving for! Good luck, I'll keep checking in
@@hendrikmluvicesky we live in the US. We’ve been together for 30 years. Her parents live close as well. They of course speak very fluent Czech. I can pick out words when they talk but I’m FAR from having a conversation.
Čeština je opravdu těžký jazyk. A doufám že se naučíš opravdu hodně Českých slov. Já jsem Čech takže Česky umím ,ale pro Němce to musí být opravdu těžké tak rozdílný jazyk! Respekt.
Well done 👏 Also was learning Czech living close to Czech border he he Zlote Hory Remember met turist from Brazil in Pilzen Brewery was speaking to me in Czech. I noticed the dialects from Moravy is similar to my Polish dialekt.
@@hendrikmluvicesky is a lovely country 😀 like Slovakia was going for holiday every Summer as teenager he he Beer was six Korun and botlle 3 . When did You buy a 20 beers at first day U could return the bottles and drink for few days he he. A 500 hundred our Zloty was 5000 korun a lots of money 💰 also was very friendly people not much crime.
Czech language is hard to learn, but one thing is easy. If you learn how to read czech alfabet, you can read all czech words without any problem. What is written is pronounced, in contrary to English or French etc.
Česky umíš krásně, to Ř bylo dle mě strašně povedené. Z mého pohledu jako čecha je zajímavé že někdo takový z jiných velkých zemí se zajímá o náš jazyk
You do not even have to be interested in the country :-) Any reason is probably ok if it motivates to learn a foreign language. E.g. I want to learn a bit of Japanese, cos I like Babymetal and Karate, and I want to learn a bit of German cos I like Karl May's work :-)
@@talaniel Actually, you need to know at least a little bit of the culture, because without knowing it, you'll never be as good in speaking, writing, etc., because it greatly enhances your capabilities to understand/speak the way natives speak!
I am also trying to learn Czech, as my husband is a native. It is so difficult and I fully agree with the krk and prst not having vowels...crazy! Good luck learning
@@hendrikmluvicesky we communicate in English together. I now live in the Czech Republic with him so it's definitely important for me to be able to speak the language, especially being able to communicate with his family too.
You can do it! I was a monoglot English speaker and I learned Russian which is comparably difficult. I didn't even have the motivation of a girlfriend which you have. Your German will help with grammatical cases which were the biggest mindfuck for me. My advice - learn the 2000 most frequently used words, then start consuming "comprehensible input" in every free moment of your days. It will be tough but you will get there.
I've been slowly learning for over 2 years on my own. I'm not very good with self learning. :p I was using duolingo for a while but it really becomes a hindrance after a while and I stuck with it for way too long. It becomes difficult to build vocabulary with it and progress becomes slow when it gets overly difficult with grammar before one has learned maybe 500 or 1000 words through it. Now I've been going with the strategy you mention with learning most common words and trying to find comprehensible content. That also does become difficult as it does tend to be very basic stories and stuff for kids.
I would recomend you as a czech native find a list of germanisms (words originating from German) there is quite a lot of them and a czech speakers are using them in a normal conversation for instance láhev czech word for bottle but 90% czechs are using word flaška originating from german Flasche
Hi Václav, thanks for the high quality recommendation. I do not yet have such a list. Are you by any chance aware of any relevant site or book? Otherwise I will search for it.
@@hendrikmluvicesky Ano. Když ti přeji, "aby ti to pěkně/dobře lezlo do hlavy", znamená to, že ti přeji, aby sis vše rychle zapamatoval a pamatoval si to. Aby ti učení šlo snadno. Naopak, když ti něco "neleze do hlavy", nemůžeš si to zapamatovat nebo to nedokážeš pochopit.
It is truly interesting that some people really want to learn our weird language. I am a Czech native, but I really wanted to learn Japanese, since I always found the place so beautiful. Czech always felt to me really messy and poor. Most of the building are old and really ugly and the people here are mostly drunk or making mess somewhere, this is mostly the reason I wanted to leave this place and go somewhere where I will feel better walking around. Like I said, I respect and am shocked to see someone learning our language and also knowing our country (We are also often called "Czechoslovakia" since Slovakia and Czech were a single country back in the days) Our language will always be weird and I hope that someday I might never use it. I don't say that I hate it, but I don't feel like living in Czech for the rest of my life.
As a Czech native I m so happy to see someone learning Czech language and when I heard your ř or ahoj I taught this was some guy who kwom how to speak czech but is pretending to be learning czech for some views takže držím palce.😁
Nazdar, jen by mě zajímalo jak se jmenuje ta společnost, ve které pracuješ (jen tak pro zajímavost). Mimochodem, jestli se naučíš česky, tak budeš rozumět slovensky a trochu polsky. Přeju hodně štěstí 👍
Your Ř was amazing. Congratulations. Tvoje Ř bylo skvělé, gratuluji Dein Ř war grobartig, herzlichen Glückwunsch (I hope this was correct way to say it in German as I am just starting with it)
What I've noticed as a czech native (and sort of a linguist) we often "blend" a schwa into these "consonants only" words. Its not a full schwa, just like half a schwa but its there for easier pronounciation.
Viel glück! Hodně štěstí! It is always fascinating seeing foreigners learning our hard language. I offer one more possible reason or aspect - geographical closeness. I would say we don't have anything against vowels. I think the words without them afre not that many. 🙂
I have a good news for you. Learning Czech will allow you to understand Slovak as well. Add another 5 milion of people speaking this language. Good luck. And btw, your Ř was excellent! I strugle with it after 6 years in Prague.
Právě nedavno jsem získal certifikát na němčinu a je super vidět, že někdo z Německa jde opačným směrem za češtinou! Tvoje "ř" bylo (a teď nelžu) k nerozeznání od rodilýho mluvčího. Mám několik kamarádů v Německu a ani jeden z nich nebyl schopnej říct "ř" tak hezky nebo i slovo "krk" nebo "prst". Viel Glück!
I really love watching videos about people learning the language of my country, it's really nice to see their passion into it and their progress they've made after some time Also I think that you said Ř amazingly :D
3:50 When you want to say "I hope you've had a good time" we say it like this - Doufám, že jste se pobavili. We have a lot of words that means 10 different things in other languages :D But i have to give you credit for that Ř, that was really like you are native czech :D
Hezké video vždycky mě fascinuje že se v zahraničí někdo zkouší naučit náš jazyk a obzvláště vyslovovat Ř je těžké sám to znám jelikož jsem měl s tím jako malý problém a když se to naučí cizinec tak si zaslouží respekt. Good luck 👍
You don't need a reason to learn a new language; however yours are super valid. I'm learning Czech, because I want to sing Dvořák and I prefer to understand what I sing.
@@hendrikmluvicesky chinese of course not but at my school times few years ago i was learning german ( i odnt remember nothing almmost xD ) swedish and turkish have some same letter for pronounciation as a german. so i can say probably turkish
Tvoje "Ř" je neskutečné. Well done.
Pun intended? :D
Many native speakers would be proud to pronounce such a crisp "Ř"
@@OnDragi Mine sounds like a 1000 year old car.

Remember met turist from Brazil in Pilzen Brewery was speaking to me in Czech.
I noticed the dialects from Moravy is similar to my Polish dialekt.
Great! 😊
@@hendrikmluvicesky is a lovely country 😀 like Slovakia was going for holiday every Summer as teenager he he
Beer was six Korun and botlle 3 .
When did You buy a 20 beers at first day U could return the bottles and drink for few days he he. A 500 hundred our Zloty was 5000 korun a lots of money 💰 also was very friendly people not much crime.
Your Ř is actually quite impressive 💯. Czech language is really hard so you started quite a challenge 😬 fingers crossed, držím palce !
Czech language is hard to learn, but one thing is easy. If you learn how to read czech alfabet, you can read all czech words without any problem. What is written is pronounced, in contrary to English or French etc.
Good luck from Slovakia ❤
Česky umíš krásně, to Ř bylo dle mě strašně povedené. Z mého pohledu jako čecha je zajímavé že někdo takový z jiných velkých zemí se zajímá o náš jazyk
Es freut mich sehr, dass du meine Muttersprache lernst. Viel Glück und liebe Grüße aus Düsseldorf 🇩🇪❤🇨🇿
Honestly, you don't need a reason other than being interested in the country itself to learn a language!
You do not even have to be interested in the country :-) Any reason is probably ok if it motivates to learn a foreign language. E.g. I want to learn a bit of Japanese, cos I like Babymetal and Karate, and I want to learn a bit of German cos I like Karl May's work :-)
@@talaniel Actually, you need to know at least a little bit of the culture, because without knowing it, you'll never be as good in speaking, writing, etc., because it greatly enhances your capabilities to understand/speak the way natives speak!
@@uuco.6037 Uhm, why are you have nickname "Czech German" in Russian Cyrillic alphabet?
@@Вгостяхугеймера-м1к why not, i also learn russian since 2 years
@@uuco.6037 Aha, i thought you are Russian. Thanks for answer
I am also trying to learn Czech, as my husband is a native. It is so difficult and I fully agree with the krk and prst not having vowels...crazy! Good luck learning
Good luck Rhea. Do you guys communicate in English?
@@hendrikmluvicesky we communicate in English together. I now live in the Czech Republic with him so it's definitely important for me to be able to speak the language, especially being able to communicate with his family too.
Ty jsi opravdový frajer a tvoje Ř je opravdu překrásné. Viel Glück do budoucna a nenech se odradit.
Zdar Hendriku! Je krásné vidět dalšího cizince, co se chce naučit náš krásný jazyk
Krk! Btw xd
Thx for helping learning swedish
přeji hodně štěstí, já osobně jako čech mám též problém s češtinou. Je to prostě těžký jazyk.
great ř dude, great work
You can do it! I was a monoglot English speaker and I learned Russian which is comparably difficult. I didn't even have the motivation of a girlfriend which you have. Your German will help with grammatical cases which were the biggest mindfuck for me.
My advice - learn the 2000 most frequently used words, then start consuming "comprehensible input" in every free moment of your days. It will be tough but you will get there.
I've been slowly learning for over 2 years on my own. I'm not very good with self learning. :p I was using duolingo for a while but it really becomes a hindrance after a while and I stuck with it for way too long. It becomes difficult to build vocabulary with it and progress becomes slow when it gets overly difficult with grammar before one has learned maybe 500 or 1000 words through it. Now I've been going with the strategy you mention with learning most common words and trying to find comprehensible content. That also does become difficult as it does tend to be very basic stories and stuff for kids.
Viel Erfolg. Ich komme aus Tschechien und ich lerne Deutsch. Sie haben so viele Worte, ich kann nie alles lernen. Vielleicht ist das unmöglich :).
Přeji hodně štěstí při učení češtiny :)
Great job! Im from Czech and czech is hard. Hodně štěstí s učením😉
Im from czech and I wish you good luck😊
I would recomend you as a czech native find a list of germanisms (words originating from German) there is quite a lot of them and a czech speakers are using them in a normal conversation for instance láhev czech word for bottle but 90% czechs are using word flaška originating from german Flasche
Hi Václav, thanks for the high quality recommendation. I do not yet have such a list. Are you by any chance aware of any relevant site or book? Otherwise I will search for it.
good luck mate
Přeji hodně štěstí v učení češtiny! Já se jako češka učím zas německy :D
Přeji hodně štěstí v učení češtiny! / I wish you good luck in learning Czech!
Držím palce, ať ti učení pěkně leze do hlavy. 👍
To se říká? “Že mi to poleze do hlavy.” 😊👍
@@hendrikmluvicesky Ano. Když ti přeji, "aby ti to pěkně/dobře lezlo do hlavy", znamená to, že ti přeji, aby sis vše rychle zapamatoval a pamatoval si to. Aby ti učení šlo snadno.
Naopak, když ti něco "neleze do hlavy", nemůžeš si to zapamatovat nebo to nedokážeš pochopit.
Nigdy nie uczyłem się czeskiego, ale rozumiem każde słowo.
@@Lechoslaw8546 Je to tím, že jsme oba slovanské jazyky, které jsou si navzájem velmi podobné
@@Lechoslaw8546 Zajebiscie! I also dont speak polish but i love the language
Přeji hodně štěstí! :D Čeština je rozhodně krásný, ale i těžký jazyk pro cizince
It is truly interesting that some people really want to learn our weird language. I am a Czech native, but I really wanted to learn Japanese, since I always found the place so beautiful.
Czech always felt to me really messy and poor. Most of the building are old and really ugly and the people here are mostly drunk or making mess somewhere, this is mostly the reason I wanted to leave this place and go somewhere where I will feel better walking around. Like I said, I respect and am shocked to see someone learning our language and also knowing our country (We are also often called "Czechoslovakia" since Slovakia and Czech were a single country back in the days)
Our language will always be weird and I hope that someday I might never use it. I don't say that I hate it, but I don't feel like living in Czech for the rest of my life.
I'm Brazilian and I would like to learn Czech and live in Czech Republic.
As a Czech native I m so happy to see someone learning Czech language and when I heard your ř or ahoj I taught this was some guy who kwom how to speak czech but is pretending to be learning czech for some views takže držím palce.😁
😂😂😂 dekuji moc!!!
I do like Germany, a land of refined culture, arts and science, and I hope you will like mine. Good luck.
Glad to hear. Yes. I do 😊 Thank you.
The fact that you are learning the language because of your girlfriend is so sweet 🥰. Good luck with your Czech journey
Nazdar, jen by mě zajímalo jak se jmenuje ta společnost, ve které pracuješ (jen tak pro zajímavost). Mimochodem, jestli se naučíš česky, tak budeš rozumět slovensky a trochu polsky.
Přeju hodně štěstí 👍
Best of luck from czech 🇨🇿💪
🇨🇿Čeština je jeden z nejlepších jazyků na filozofické debaty.
🇬🇧Czech language is one of the best for Philosophically things. (
Philosophically, not physiology. ;-)
Your Ř was amazing. Congratulations.
Tvoje Ř bylo skvělé, gratuluji
Dein Ř war grobartig, herzlichen Glückwunsch (I hope this was correct way to say it in German as I am just starting with it)
Hodně štěstí přeje Česko
What I've noticed as a czech native (and sort of a linguist) we often "blend" a schwa into these "consonants only" words. Its not a full schwa, just like half a schwa but its there for easier pronounciation.
99% Slováků může závidět takovou výslovnost písmenka Ř 😀
😄😄😄
Ako Slovak musim dat za pravdu. :D
post-it notes around your flat, body, car, trying to name all things there. you will find some old friends there, for example word for wardrobe :)
That is definitely a good idea. I like especially the body part :-)
Super, podporuju!
🙏
Ty kokos! Dobre ti to ide na to že si Nemec, držím palce a prajem najlepsie!
Ty kolos? To se říká? 😂
Děkuji!
Viel glück! Hodně štěstí!
It is always fascinating seeing foreigners learning our hard language.
I offer one more possible reason or aspect - geographical closeness.
I would say we don't have anything against vowels. I think the words without them afre not that many. 🙂
I have a good news for you. Learning Czech will allow you to understand Slovak as well. Add another 5 milion of people speaking this language. Good luck. And btw, your Ř was excellent! I strugle with it after 6 years in Prague.
Good luck!
Good luck or hodně štěstí from Czech republic - you can do it when you can say Ř and Č
2:43 how you said that czech words are like random letters for you, its same for us with german. xd
Právě nedavno jsem získal certifikát na němčinu a je super vidět, že někdo z Německa jde opačným směrem za češtinou! Tvoje "ř" bylo (a teď nelžu) k nerozeznání od rodilýho mluvčího. Mám několik kamarádů v Německu a ani jeden z nich nebyl schopnej říct "ř" tak hezky nebo i slovo "krk" nebo "prst". Viel Glück!
Ahooooooj, držím ti palce!
I really love watching videos about people learning the language of my country, it's really nice to see their passion into it and their progress they've made after some time
Also I think that you said Ř amazingly :D
That is fantastic to hear and thank you for the pronunciation compliment. 🤝
Nice! Good luck! Or should I say - Hodně štěstí!
Hodně štěstí je perfektní 😄 děkuji.
3:50 When you want to say "I hope you've had a good time" we say it like this - Doufám, že jste se pobavili. We have a lot of words that means 10 different things in other languages :D But i have to give you credit for that Ř, that was really like you are native czech :D
Good luck man 😊 ( hodně štěstí chlapáku )
Good luck! Ř was quite fine :-)
That Ř was perfect!
Dekuju moc! ♥️🙏
Hezké video vždycky mě fascinuje že se v zahraničí někdo zkouší naučit náš jazyk a obzvláště vyslovovat Ř je těžké sám to znám jelikož jsem měl s tím jako malý problém a když se to naučí cizinec tak si zaslouží respekt. Good luck 👍
Hodně štěstí💪💪 držím palce že to dáš 🎉
Děkuji moc 😊
Good luck with that
Držím ti palce! Doporučuji také Česko-německé fórum mládeže! :)
You don't need a reason to learn a new language; however yours are super valid. I'm learning Czech, because I want to sing Dvořák and I prefer to understand what I sing.
Dobrá práce!
from slovakia have fun learning czech while being german
Hendrik.. if you look on, how is tounge used for speaking in languages.. this could help you a lot.. with every lang you choose.. good luck
Swedish is also spoken in parts of Finland and learned in scool in Finland.
True.
your Ř was pronounced really beautifull like from native. good luck man :D i am also learing swedish turkish or chinese and yeah its hard xd
Thanks! Which of these three language you think comes the easiest to you?
@@hendrikmluvicesky chinese of course not but at my school times few years ago i was learning german ( i odnt remember nothing almmost xD ) swedish and turkish have some same letter for pronounciation as a german. so i can say probably turkish
:D Držím palce. I appreciate the effort 🙂
