Learning a language is a gradual process. Layer by layer, like a cake, you put together  grammar and vocabulary, joining it all with the joy of progress and simple pleasure of using the language. 

Films and TV series are the best option for “cream”, because they both give positive emotions and serve as an indicator of the language proficiency level, ability to understand native speakers and degree of immersion in a new culture. 

Finding freely available Czech films and TV series is much more difficult than finding those in Russian. And yet, if you try hard, everything is possible.

Here is my list of websites where you can watch films and TV series in Czech. 

YouTube 

Classics of video content on the Internet. Here you can find old Czech films, modern short films, various educational projects (Otevřená věda), podcasts, interviews and talk shows with famous people in the Czech Republic – from actors to politicians (Real Talk, STANDASHOW, Show Jana Krause), children’s TV series (Šmoulove) and much more. For example, video bloggers Kluci z Prahy, Kovy, etc.
