Do you know any good ways to learn the Czech language? Would you begin at the alphabet or so?
I’d start with alphabet and some easy grammar. Then I’d start reading books (for children or something like that). But unfortunetly I don’t know anybody, who is/were learning Czech as their second language and this is just the way I started learning English.
Maybe followers?
i know @sametove-jaro is learning czech
I have indeed been learning Czech for a while. I’m not particularly good at it (rather the opposite), so I don’t think I’m the best person to give tips on how to learn it. That said, here’s what we did in the first and so far only formal Czech class I took. I think this order works quite well if you have never learned a language with cases before:
1. Learn the pronunciation. This involves more than just the alphabet. Learn how the environment may affect some sounds (for example ě after m or b,f,d at the end of a word).
2. Learn some basic fixed expressions, yes/no, basic greetings (dobrý den, dobré rano), expressions to ask “how are you” and posible replies (dobře, výborně, nic moc…) how to say thank you, and all that stuff… For this you could use travel language phrasebooks.
3. Learn how to conjugate the verb to be (být) in the present. Once you know this, learn how to introduce yourself (like Jsem studentka z Kanady - I’m a student from Canada) At this point you’re only learning that as fixed expressions, don’t worry about cases or grammar or anything for the moment.
4. Learn some basic nouns. Everyday objects. If your language(s) doesn’t(don’t) use gender, then learn how gender works in Czech. Learn the demonstrative pronouns ten, ta to, ty. Now you can form simple sentences such as to je dům, to je stůl (this is a house, this is a table) and so on..
5. Learn some basic adjectives. Velký,malý,dobrý, spatný, hezký and so on. Learn the colors. Learn also how to use jaký. Now you know how to describe nouns. Learn how to ask simple questions such as co je to? Learn how to negate.
6. Learn the possessive pronouns in the nominative (můj, tvůj, jeho, její …)
7. Time to learn more verbs! Learn how to conjugate mít (to have) as well as some verbs of the type 1 (those that end it -at such as dělat) and 2 (those that end in -et/ět/-it such as such as myslet, rozumět and mluvit)
8. Time to get started with the cases! Learn the accusative singular. Learn the different expressions for “to like” (líbí se mi, chutná mi, mám rád, rád + verb, miluji/miluju)
9. Learn the days of the week and some adverbs of time (obvykle, často, nékdy...)
10. Time for more verbs! Learn how to conjugate those of the type 3a (end in -ovat such as studovat) and some common irregular verbs for everyday actions (jít, jet, číst, psát, pít)
11. Once you know the nominative and accusative singular well, you can start learning the nominative and accusative plural.
12. Lear the modal verbs: chtít (want), moct (can, be able to), umět (know how to), muset (must), smět (be allowed to)…
13. Ok now this is when things get fun :P Since you now know how to conjugate jít and jet, it’s time to learn prepositions of direction and location (do, na, v). This involves learning the genitive and locative/prepositional cases. so learn how to use those cases! Remember that the genitive is the most used case in Czech!
14. Once you get there you should be familiar with how cases work, so learn all the other cases. When they are used and which prepositions take which case. Make a chart with the endings for nouns, adjectives and pronouns and stick it somewhere where you can see it everyday :P
For more basic vocabulary, you can refer to this post. You can also take a look at my vocabulary blog @prvni-slova for some inspiration (shameless self plug :P)
I hope this is of some use to someone because it took forever to write
Favourite Czech idioms translated literally into English:
Gather your five plums and leave! (take all your stuff and get out!)

Like a tiny moon on dung (very happy)
Once a Hungarian year (in very long intervals)
Bear service (to cause damage with originally good intentions)
Two asses of sth (lots of sth)
To get drunk with a bread roll (to be satisfied easily)

still better than poking the eye with a wire (it could be worse)
did you shit yourself in the cinema? (are you kidding me?)
to walk around hot porridge (to beat around the bush)
it’s splashing on his lighthouse (he’s stupid)
shit out your eye/go to ass (go to hell)
to burn down someone’s pond (to crush someone’s plans, take away their advantage)
how are your rabbits stomping? (how are you?)
did your bees fly away? (a question you ask someone who is clearly feeling down to find out why)
to march like geese (to walk in a straight line one after another)
i swear on my soul, on dog’s ears and on cat’s conscience (trying to convince someone to believe you)
cheeks like spelling-books (puffy red cheeks)
to look like a wet chicken (to look like shit)

What country is your country's best friend?
Slovakia, probably :)
Hello! I was wondering if you would help me out with the Czech possessive adjectives. How would you say: my, your (singular/singular formal), his/her/its, our, your (plural), and their? Thank you so much!! <3
.Hey! Of course :)
First thing, we have three forms (masculine, feminine and neuter) for adjectives, I think for example German has something like this too.
My - můj (masculine), moje (feminine and neuter)
Your - tvůj (masculine), tvoje (feminine and neuter)
His - jeho
Her - její
Its - jeho/její (it depends on the noun)
For example jeho is used with dog - pes (masculine) and animal - zvíře (neuter), její with cat - kočka (feminine).
Our - náš (singular masculine), naše (singular femunine and neuter, plural all three forms), naši (plural masculine)
The difference between naše and naši is their use, a.k.a witch noun we use them with. For example men and castles are both masculine nouns in Czech and both are actually model nouns for masculine nouns(different grammar problem), but man/men is for “living” nouns (boy, father, boyfriend...) and castle/castles is for “lifeless” nouns (picture, table, paper...), so if you want to say our men, it’s naši muži, but our castles is naše hrady (same use with vaši/vaše).
Your - váš (singular masculine), vaše (singular feminine and neuter, plural all three forms), vaši (plural masculine)
Their - jejich (all three forms)
Singular formal adjectives are the same one as plural your, but if we write these adjectives (formal letters etc.) we usually start them with a capital letter (Váš, Vaši, Vaše).
I hope that I helped you and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask :)

We should do our own Eurovision and have a singing contest
Šťastný nový rok 2016!
Happy New Year!
my english is bad, but please you should accept everyone who has bad english, teach us and help us. we, not native speakers, make mistake, which is different for everyone, depends on our native language’s grammar.
Telling us to “learn english“ won’t help us.
