There were Star Trek books! That's a good reason to learn a language, right? You complain that there aren't enough people learning Czech, but have you ever tried telling them that there are Star Trek books?

Now this is a good point! And Cavesa, to answer your question, I think you were just forcibly recruited to tutor ~10 of your favorite boardies.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

We didn't force her, she just didn't step backwards when we asked for volunteers. :lol:

I should have kept the richness of Czech fantasy and sci-fi, both original and translated, a secret :-D
I didn't know I was supposed to hide at a particular moment :-)

Not sure what kind of "tutoring" are you looking for, but if you mean being a native advisor to a forum group of such awesome learners, that is more realistic than me continuing Finnish right now :-) And fortunately Tarvos might be there too, as she is quite an advanced Czech learner now.

Yay for Czech!

And it will be actually quite easy for us as we will all already have a good foothold in Polish, right? :D

Hmmm. So you're hoping to get a beautiful, young Czech woman to whip you?! I didn't know it was that kind of forum! :o :?
