Czech by full immersion
Czech by full immersion
Hubby and I have finally started Czech language classes, 90min 2x/week, that is what they call „Czech Express“, lol.

The teaching method is more or less full immersion, without much time to catch your breath back. Do you see the little bubbles on the left? They are hubby and I, drowning!
Actually it is not too bad and surely the best method to get us going, but hubby is a bit annoyed when he can’t understand the teachers’ instructions. Having given language classes myself I am less bothered. I just try what I think could be right. If there are lines/ spaces in the text something has to be filled in. If there are two columns, there must be a relationship between the words –somewhere.
If only my memory would be better, I am not twenty, thirty, forty anymore. So resolutions for next class: Don’t do the homework in the last moment, just before leaving for school and dedicate each day some time to repeat the lessons. Sounds like I am back in school again, right? So, please excuse me, I have to go to my books now, see you tomorrow!
One of th reasons I never took Turkish lessons is because in TR they don’t teach, but ‘drill’ you, worse than highschool…)
And while in Chech, didnt need it, my dEnglish was good enough..))
