Practical Czech Simplified is published on one audiocassette with a pocket-size booklet of the script. It contains more than 350 essential phrases for travelers: expressions for getting around, meeting people, dining out and doing business. Phrases are short and easy to learn, and are clearly pronounced by native speakers. Every phrase included is useful and practical--no wasted time learning outdated or "textbook" Czech. Helpful hints on usage and pronunciation are included. Practical Czech Simplified is also an excellent resource for those who want a good, practical beginner's course. The course is designed to be used with or without the booklet, so that you can study while driving or while engaged in other activities.

From the Author
I carefully selected each of the phrases included in Practical Czech Simplified so that everything you learn will be useful and practical. You will not waste any time learning outdated or "textbook" Czech, or silly phrases you will never use! This simple and straightforward approach will have you speaking Czech in just minutes a day. It is the quickest and easiest way to develop the Czech language skills you need to express yourself (and get what you want!) in a variety of travel and social situations.
About the Author
As a very young child, I had a strong natural interest in the Spanish language. One of my earliest books was a Spanish language textbook. My interest continued later in life, and I majored in Spanish at the University of Arkansas (B.A., 1971). For the next ten years, I taught English as a Second Language in Mexico City. I have also lived and taught English in Santiago, Chile, and in Quito, Ecuador. I currently live in Tucson, Arizona.
I began professionally publishing English as Second Language courses in 1991. In 1992, I published my first Spanish language course. My additional seven foreign language courses use the same format and reflect the same excellence of design and detail. I am currently working on Practical Hungarian Simplified. Also, I am developing complete interactive courses in Spanish and in English as a Second Language, to be published on CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good tape - great value!,
By "swsafari" (Sedona, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Czech Simplified (Czech Edition) (Audio Cassette)
Simply put, I like this tape a lot! I've used other tape sets to try to learn the Czech language, but they have all been a turn off. This is my favorite, by far! The dialogue is practical, easy to understand, and well organized. The small booklet is just the right aid for those visual folks who need to see it in print.... I feel this is a GREAT value. Keep in mind that this is only one cassette, so it offers only an introduction to the language - serious students will inevitably want to get another more complete set - but this is a GREAT beginning / introduction, which is so very important to any new endeavor! This tape has introduced me to pronunciation, structure, the "basics", and convinced me that I CAN lean to speak Cesky!
2.0 out of 5 stars
Would help if the booklet was printed correctly,
By Keith M Andrews (Beavercreek, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Czech Simplified (Czech Edition) (Audio Cassette)
One problem is that the booklet that comes with the tape has several misprints because the printer could not all handle all characters the Czech Alphabet. I tried going to both the {websites} and publishing for an electronic versions of the booklet containing the correct characters. Neither web site exists. The tape seems nice, but I needed to make several handwritten corrections to the booklet. Good thing I already knew a little Czech otherwise I might have never caught this. Bottom line: You get what you pay for.
