Cavesa mentioned Czechclass101, so, let me briefly comment about that method.

One year ago I asked the Czechclass101's staff and they told me that there weren’t much content yet. Looking at their trial course at that time, I found out the following content: “All about” (15 lessons), “Basic bootcamp” (5 lessons), “Pronunciation” (5 lessons), “Survival Phrases” (28 lessons), Learn Czech in Three Minutes (1 lesson), Learn with Pictures and Video (25 lessons), Advanced Audio Blog Season 1 (25 lessons) and Advanced Audio Blog Season 2 (3 lessons). I have just checked their Youtube channel now and it seems that a little bit more is offered, but still it is similar to the Polish course situation.

It is not worth paying for them when there are some courses available in the CEFR format such as Cestina Expres 1 and Cestina Expres 2 that seems to be good.

I don't know what's going on here, but it seems that more people are interested in Czech which is a good thing. Maybe I will start my Czech studies soon too.

I definitely think Czech is underrated. If I had stayed in the region, Czech would have been on my list for sure -- I grew up with Czech puppet theatre, and I always wanted to go to Prague (who doesn't), which was difficult at the time. Literature, Art, Music -- what's not to like. I was kinda peeved my high school didn't offer Czech, so I was stuck with Russian instead, a language I had mixed feelings about at the time (for political reasons).

Thanks for all those amazing resources. That is so darn tempting. If only my plate wasn't already overflowing...
