| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Brandon: In the Czech Republic, you’ll hear higher numbers when you talk about money. |
| Martin: That’s right. And it’s because one US Dollar is equal to about 20 Czech Crowns. When you hear Czech news about housing prices in particular, you’ll hear larger numbers like the ones we hear in the dialogue. |
| Brandon: Talking about housing prices, what's the average rental price of an apartment in Prague? |
| Martin: Well, if you’re in the city, you’ll need to spend about 13-15,000 Czech Crowns monthly on rent for an apartment that is about 60 square meters. That’s approximately 700-800 Dollars. |
| Brandon: What about a really nice apartment? |
| Martin: Those can go up to 30,000 or more Czech Crowns. |
| Brandon: Wow, that's about 1,500 U.S. Dollars for a month! That’s quite a lot! |
| Martin: Yeah, in Central Europe, apartments in Prague are some of the most expensive. |
| Brandon: What about the cheaper ones? |
| Martin: Well.. it’s possible to find accommodation for 10,000 Czech Crowns, which is about 500 USD. But the place will be smaller, or quite far away from the city center. |
| Brandon: Okay, keep that in mind if you’re planning to move to the Czech Republic, listeners. Now let’s take a look at the vocabulary for this lesson. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Brandon: Let's take a look at the vocabulary for this lesson. So Martin, how do you count over one hundred in Czech? |
| Martin: We've already learned "one hundred," which is “sto”. For the number 200, you can say Dvě-stě, which literally means ‘two hundred.’ / (slow) Dvě-stě. For the number “300”, you can say “tři-sta” (slow) “tři-sta” |
| Brandon: Okay. What about “400”? |
| Martin: The Czech “400” is čtyři-sta. / (slow) čtyři-sta” |
| Brandon: What about the rest of them? |
| Martin: It’s easy from 500 up to 900. You can simply add the word “set” to the number, for example, “Pět set”, “šest set” and so on… |
| Brandon: Okay. Can you give us two hundred to nine hundred to recap? |
| Martin: Sure. dvě-stě is 200 {pause} tři-sta is 300 {pause} čtyři-sta is 400, {pause} pět-set is 500, {pause} šest-set is 600, sedm-set is 700, {pause} osm-set is 800 , {pause} and devět-set is 900. |
| Brandon: Okay. Now it’s time to take a quiz. Martin will give you the number in Czech. Listen to what he says, and guess what the number is. Martin, what’s first? |
| Martin: čtyři sta dvacet. |
| Brandon: Did you get it? Let’s hear it again. |
| Martin: čtyři sta dvacet. |
| (PAUSE) |
| Brandon: Ok. What’s the answer, Martin? |
| Martin: it’s “four hundred and twenty. (420)” čtyři sta is 400, and dvacet is 20. |
| Brandon: Okay, can you give us one more number? |
| Martin: Sure. dvěstě čtrnáct. |
| (Pause) |
| Brandon: Did you get it, listeners? The answer is..? |
| Martin: “two hundred and fourteen.” (214) ” |
| Brandon: Okay. Now onto the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Brandon: In this lesson, you’ll learn how to count from 100 and beyond in Czech. First, let’s take a look at the word meaning ‘1,000’ |
| Martin: In Czech, that’s “tisíc”. You can simply make other thousands by saying a cardinal number first, then adding ‘tisíc’ at the end. |
| Brandon: It’s the same as when we made hundreds in Czech earlier in the lesson. |
| Martin: That’s right. |
| Brandon: Okay. So, could you give us the numbers from 1000 to 9000 please Martin? |
| Martin: Sure. tisíc is one thousand, {pause} dva tisíce is two thousand, {pause} tři tisíce is three thousand,{pause} čtyři tisíce is four thousand,{pause} pět tisíc is five thousand,{pause} šest tisíc is six thousand ,{pause} sedm tisíc is seven thousand,{pause} osm tisíc is eight thousand, {pause} and devět tisíc is nine thousand. |
| Brandon: Okay. Let’s do some practice. This time, Martin will give you the number in Czech, and you can try to guess what it is. Martin, what’s the first one? |
| Martin: devět tisíc sedm-set. |
| (Pause) |
| Brandon: Did you get it? The answer is.. “nine thousand seven hundred. |
| Martin (9700) |
| Brandon And what’s the next number? |
| Martin: tři tisíce dvě-stě patnáct. |
| (PAUSE) |
| Brandon: “three thousand two hundred and fifteen. |
| Martin (3215)” |
| Brandon And the next one? |
| Martin: osm tisíc pět-set dvacet jedna |
| (PAUSE) |
| Brandon: “eight thousand five hundred and twenty one. |
| Martin (8521)” |
| Brandon Great. You can also check the lesson notes to learn how to write these numbers in Czech. Before we wrap up the lesson, we have one more word. What’s the word, Martin? |
| Martin: milión |
| Brandon: meaning “One million.” |
| Martin: In Czech, you don’t need to add “one” to million, as “milión” on its own already means one million. |
