Why read a podcast?
By listening to and going through the transcribed text in Czech, you can:
- see beginnings and ends of the phrases – this is especially useful at the very beginning of learning, when the entire Czech speech, due to specific melodics, seems like an endless stream of sounds without pauses;
- practice your own pronunciation and mind your intonation, length of dlouhé samohlásky and the sound of Czech letters;
- notice the difference between the spoken Czech (hovorová čeština) and the standard one (spisovná čeština). Even if a guest uses colloquial Czech, the decoders rewrite the speech according to the standard language. Of course, such exercise is suitable for a more advanced level.
If you are learning Czech, listening is one of the most important methods of language learning. Listen, even if you do not understand everything, your brain will do the work for you.
