Lekce dvanáctá Lesson 12 Read the following out loud. Get your parents, grandparents, relatives, or friends to help you with the pronunciation. Clip and save each lesson and compile into a notebook. Vowels and Consonants In Czech, the vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and y. They may be either short or long. The rest of the letters in the alphabet are called consonants. These consonants have about the same sound as in English: b, d, f, h, l, m, n, p, r, s, v, and z. Translate the examples bude došel fazol hrdina lev máslo náčiní prsten ráno strana vůl zima
The consonants b, d, h, v, and z have different sounds when they appear at the end of a syllable or at the end of a word. The d sounds like t; h like th; b like p; z like s; and v like an f. Translate the examples 1 syllable: dub hřev pluh rád vůz
