Curious stranger always up for sharing informations, impressions, emotions. Interested in music, film, culture... Also a language learner. Eager to do an exchange with you. I find the listening a very good way to learning. If you have any interesting text in czech language that is of your skill and want to have me read and record it for you, let me know. If you are an english native speaker, then I will probably want the same from you in turn. If you are not, never mind, ask me anyway.:-)

    Jedná se sice o podobné významy, ale rozhodně se nepřekrývají úplně. Hledat je univerzálnější: hledáš cokoli, co nemáš, nebo co jsi ztratil. Pátrání je specifičtější a používá se především v situacích, kdy se snažíš přijít něčemu na stopu. Typické spojení je tedy například detektivní pátrání, oproti tomu asi neoslovíš zřízence v supermarketu: "Mohl byste mi ukázat oddělení sýrů? Pátrám po něm už deset minut.", ačkoli Ti samozřejmě i tak bude každý rozumět.

    Learning by speaking I guess there´s no way of learning to speak other than... do it. So, I´m seeking for people who have the same feeling, same desire and maybe the similar current level of knowledge. I´d like to have some relaxed dialogue with a like-minded person from all over the world via Skype, the important factor is having some common issues and interests to talk about, so that the talk isn´t just mechanical and blank and so that we can learn each other something more than just the language. In fact, I´m pretty open to anything to discuss, my main fancies are music, film, literature and culture in general, philosophic rants (or pretending being wise!), life and world around me. More can be said by PM if you like...:-)

    "We haven´t any single rooms vacant." Until I have read this sentence in some text material, I didn´t know there also is this option besides the "We don´t have any..." which I considered to be standard. So, is it generally the case that both option are possible, or is this some exception, maybe the special phrase with "any"? Thank you for making this clear to me...

    beanni's notebook entry: Nov 10, 2010

    Dnes ráno jsem byl doma se svou dcerou. To bylo venku zima, takže jsem se rozhodl zůstat uvnitř. (Just little stilted, but gramatically correct and absolutely understandable.) Moje dcera a já jsme hráli fotbal (There´s not necessary to name you daughter and you again. So just "Hráli jsme fotbal...") a četli jsme (there´s not necessary to repeat "jsme" again) nějaké knihy ve španělštině, češtině a angličtině.

    Dnes na oběd (maybe even better would be "Dnes k obědu...") jsem vařil pečené kuře s pečenými bramborami, pečenými řepami pečenou řepou (pl. would be better), mrkvemi mrkví (the same case) a brokolicí v páře. To bylo fakt dobré.

    Odpoledne moje přítelkyně a já jsme š<strike>e</strike>li s naší dcerou (Better form: "Odpoledne jsme s přítelkyní šli s naší dcerou...") do herny. (I´m only not sure about what did you mean here by "herna". Usually there is the meaning of the bar where adults go to gamble.) Moje dcera<strike>,</strike> opravdu měla ráda hraje se všemi hračkami a ostatními dětmi. (Puzzled sentence. Good version would be, for instance: "Moje dcera si to opravdu užila. Ráda si hraje se všemi hračkami i se všemi druhými dětmi." But depends on what did you exactly intend to say.)

    Zítra se těším na koncert v Praze. 'Brand New Heavies' budou hrát v Lucern<strike>e</strike>a Baru.

    At any rate, your czech is swell!

    "He was very upset to not make it to Will´s wedding." ...or - "He was very upset not to make it to Will´s wedding."? Is both possible? Equally possible? Are the both variants always possible in general? Or are there some special rules for it? Thank you very much!

    needing your voice It may be a request, or just a discussion. In the beginning lies my conviction about the listening approach to learning foreign language, in my case english. I have a couple of english texts of my interests and at my skill level and I´d love to have some of them in form of audiofiles, read and recorded by native speakers, to be able to engrain the language through listening. I know that it takes just a few minutes to make a recording, and yet I´ve so far experienced so few responses when trying to find some volunteers. My disadvantage is, that I can offer the same for you just in czech language and I know there is a little people who could apreciate that. Anyway, I´m trying the same here. At least I can record for you some audio thank-giving in my broken english!
    Is there someone out there who have some experience with the listening approach, too? Let´s talk about it!:-)

    The standard sentence goes: "I want you to understand me." I´ve always wondered if the same grammar pattern can be used for the cases of "I´d like" or "I´d love". I. e., "I would like you to understand me." and "I would love you to understand me." Are those two other versions usable, too? Thank you for the answers or explanations...:-)
