| Kellie: Top 25 Czech Questions You Need to Know - Lesson 3: Where do you live? in Czech (In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Czech learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native speaker. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations.) |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Where do you live?” In Czech this is |
| Martin: Kde bydlíš? |
| The first word in the question is |
| Martin: kde |
| Kellie: meaning “where” in English. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) kde |
| Kellie: Listen again and repeat. |
| Martin: kde |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Martin: bydlíš |
| Kellie: meaning “you live.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) bydlíš |
| Kellie: Now repeat. |
| Martin: bydlíš |
| {Pause} |
| Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Martin: kde bydlíš |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: (You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question Where do you live? |
| Martin: Bydlím v New Yorku. |
| Kellie: "I live in New York.” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Martin: (Slow) Bydlím v New Yorku. |

| Kellie: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |

| Kellie: And next |
| Martin: New Yorku |
| meaning New York. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) New Yorku |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |
| Martin: New Yorku |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the speaker say, “I live in New York.” and then repeat. |
| Martin: Bydlím v New Yorku. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: To make another phrase, replace New York with Prague. |
| Martin: Praze |
| Kellie: Prague |
| Martin: (slow) Praze (regular) Praze |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with Prague |
| Martin: Bydlím v Praze. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace New York. Say “I live in Prague.” |
