ABC of Czech | All stories

Hello and welcome to the ABC of Czech, the Czech language series which follows the letters of the alphabet. Today we get to the last letter of the alphabet and our series is almost over. We are going to finish it on a lighter note as Z stands for the zodiac.

Hello and welcome to the last but one episode of the ABC of Czech, Radio Prague's own Czech-language series in which we follow the letters of the alphabet. Today's letter is Y and it stands for yippee - or all kinds of exclamations which are such an important part of any language. Exclamations, or interjections, are the easiest and most expressive means of conveying feelings, moods or sensations.

Today's edition is dedicated to a very mysterious topic. Our letter for the week is X, which stands for X-files or Akta X and the world of secrets and mysteries - tajemství a záhady.

Some of you may be in love with a Czech, some of you may want to marry a Czech. So in this ABC of Czech, we bring you the Czech words that you need to bridge the gap between love and marriage...

Yes, another week has passed and it's time for a new letter in our Czech language programme in which we follow the alphabet. It's "w" this time, so let's talk about the weather. The word for weather is poèasí. It comes from the word èas, which means time. The weather is a very important part of our life and that's why at the end of every Radio Prague news bulletin you can find a weather forecast - pøedpovìï poèasí.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Radio Prague's Czech language programme, the ABC of Czech. We are nearing the end of the alphabet - today's letter is V and with it comes the topic of village life. In this sense, the letter v works well in Czech, too, for village is vesnice and the rural countryside is venkov.

Working our way through the alphabet, we have got as far as the letter U this week and as promised we will dive into the topic of urban life. The Czech Republic with its 11,000,000 inhabitants has only one city with more than a million people.

Hello and welcome again to Radio Prague's own Czech teaching programme - the ABC of Czech. This week we're staying with the letter T and the topic of transport as a lot still remains to be said about it.

Our letter for this week is T, which brings us to the topic of transport

We've reached the letter S and today we'll talk about signs. When you get off a plane, a train, a bus, what first greets you is signs, signs and more signs. True, some of them are in English, or other languages, too, but in smaller towns at least, you'll have to rely on your knowledge of Czech.
