DIRECTIONS

Czech
QuickChat
Many English speakers inch when they see written
Czech especially words like prst (nger) and krk
(neck) with no apparent vowels, and the seemingly
unpronounceable clusters of consonants in phrases
like trnct dn (fortnight). Dont despair! With a little
practice and some pronunciation guidelines youll
be enjoying the buttery mouthfeel of Czech words
in no time. Czech also has one big advantage in the
pronunciation stakes unlike English, each Czech
letter is always pronounced exactly the same way, so
once youve got the hang of the Czech alphabet youll
be able to read any word put before you with aplomb.
