Read Czech Podcast
If you listen to podcasts and learn Czech, you should definitely subscribe to the podcast of the Czech radio Vinohradská 12. The podcast comes out almost every day, lasts about 40 minutes, during which the host, Lenka Kabrhelová, discusses one of the hottest topics with guests. If you don’t have time for the news, but want to be aware of the most important issues, Vinohradská 12 podcast will allow you to catch up with the events, opinions, names and trends of the Czech Republic.
Earlier, we have published a selection of Czech podcasts, already mentioning the Vinohradská 12 podcast. However, we have decided to write a separate article about this one because of a feature especially useful for learning Czech. The podcast team transcribes the speeches of all interlocutors, which makes each episode an invaluable tool for language learning.

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.
