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 :?


Nor did I! Good thing I promised to be more active on it now!
(Now I'm a lot more interested in Czech!)

In the current context, I'm not sure it does. :lol: :lol:

Don't have to be young, beautiful, or a woman, but I'm telling you that cookies don't work, so if it can't be the carrot it will have to be the stick!

Houston we have a problem.

The DVD's only have French & Czech audio, with Czech & Slovak sub-titles. Which means I'm probably going to have to find French sub-titles somewhere else.

hummm.... Well I downloaded the English & French subtitles from Opensubtitles.org, but the snag is I now have to go through them all and align the times. :(

This looks like a job for PERL or Python, or I might do it in Rust.

I still think you have a lot to learn about being lazy. :)
And I think I'm going to end up owing you a few more beers.

OK, I have Italian, French, Czech & Slovak subtitles. Which ones do you want on your anki decks? You can only have 2 at a time. French & Czech?
