Vitajte!

Welcome to Living Language In-Flight Czech. This short and simple program is designed to give you just enough of the basics that youll need to get by in Czech. Youll learn words and phrases that will come in handy in the most common situations youll encounter during your trip. Best of all, you dont need to read or write anything, so you can just sit back and learn. Just listen to the native speakers of Czech and repeat in the pauses. If youd like to read along with what you hear, though, just use this insert. The short lessons are easy to master, and once youve completed the program, youll be able to speak and understand basic Czech. Lets get started.

That brings us to the end of Living Language In-Flight Czech. If you master just the words and expressions youve heard in this short survival course, youll be able to get by in Czech. Of course, you may decide that you had a great time learning just a little bit, and now youd like to learn more. If thats the case, Living Language offers great complete courses in a variety of languages, too. For now, though, we wish you the best of luck using all the Czech that youve learned with us so far.
