(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. 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 “Do you like Czech food?” In Czech this is |
| Martin: Máš rád české jídlo? |

| Martin: máš |
| Kellie: meaning “you have” in English. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) máš |
| Kellie: Listen again and repeat. |
| Martin: máš |
| {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: rád |
| Kellie: meaning “like.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) rád |
| Kellie: Now repeat. |
| Martin: rád |
| {Pause} |

| And next |
| Martin: české |
| Kellie: meaning “Czech.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) české |

| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the the first 3 words of the question and repeat. |

| Martin: Ano, zvláště mám rád bramborák. |
| Kellie: "Yes, especially I like ‘bramborák’." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Martin: (Slow) Ano, zvláště mám rád bramborák. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Martin: ano |
| Kellie: means “yes”. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) ano |
| Kellie: Now repeat |
| Martin: ano |
| {Pause} |

| Martin: rád |
| Kellie: meaning “like.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) rád |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |

| {Pause} |
| Kellie: And next |
| Martin: bramborák |
| Kellie: which is the name of the food item, bramborak. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) bramborák |
| Kellie: Now repeat. |
| Martin: bramborák |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, especially I like bramborák”, and then repeat. |
| Martin: Ano, zvláště mám rád bramborák. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: To expand on the pattern, replace bramborak with goulash. |
| Martin: guláš |
| Kellie: goulash |
| Martin: (slow) guláš (regular) guláš |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with goulash |
| Martin: Ano, zvláště mám rád guláš. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace bramborak. Say “Yes, especially I like goulash". |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, zvláště mám rád guláš. |

| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace beef sirloin in cream sauce. Say “Yes, especially I like fried cheese.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, zvláště mám rád smažený sýr. |
| To say "no", in a simple way, just say: |
| Martin: Ne, nemám. |
| Kellie: Which is like saying No, I don´t. in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Martin: (Slowly) Ne, nemám. |
| Kellie: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Martin: Ne, nemám. |
