Czech Language
Czech language incompatibility...
Please excuse me for the missing accents on the Czech letters
which need them.
OK, an update on that ...
I've been fixing the Czech spelling in here, so that native
Czech readers (and now myself) can actually understand
the Czech words.
Please forgive me, this work has been worked on for a couple of
years now, and I probably still have many things to correct.
Also see
Czech Language Software for software dictionaries.
These are links to Czech sounds, words, and spoken
mentioned in other articles here.
I've put them here together to make them easy to access,
unless otherwise noted they are not mine.
I've also added links to interactive quizzes, tests,
and interactive learning aids.
Please visit the web sites they come from to see their
entire wonderful content.

These can either be flash card sets for an application,
online flash card apps, or whatever.
I've tried some of them, there are good and bad and some errors,
but anything to help one study more helps!
So much for learning Czech ... now I am studying it too.
I was looking for information about reflexive
verbs in Czech.
Search engines returned some papers about the linguistics of Czech.
I've only browsed some of them for info about the language.
There is a large corpus of papers out there about the Czech language,
how to model the grammar, understand inflections, etc.
Apparently it is a comparatively large field of study!
I've also located other documents which fall outside
the boundaries of learning Czech;
The structure of the Czech language,
computerization (natural language) efforts on Czech, etc.
Blogs, mailing lists, and forums about Czech.
also indivuals that I've run across who understand, teach, decipher, study
or otherwise look at Czech.
