Učme se česky Let Us Study Czech

Lekce třicet jedna Lesson 31

Spelling and Punctuation Pokračovat. Continued.

A common error made is when the formal Vy, Vás, Vám are used with a plural verb, although only one person is being addressed. Do not use a plural verb unless you are speaking to more than one person.

Incorrect: Vy, (one person) jste včera jeli do města.

Correct: Vy jste jel do města.

S S S

The pronoun já is not capitalized. Neither do we capitalize adjectives and adverbs indicating nationality. (This is done in English.)

Example:

Mám česku ženu. — I have a Czech wife.

Mluvíme česky. — We speak Czech.

S S S

Punctuation marks are the same in Czech as in English. (See also Lesson 5.) tečka (.) čárka (,) vykričnik (!) uvozovací středník (;) dvojtečka (:) pomlčka (—) otázník (?) znaménka (“ “) závorky ( ) rozdělováci znaménko (-)

S S S

One big difference in English and Czech punctuation has to do with the use of commas.

Commas are used:

—before and after a relative clause: Ztrátil jsem knihu, kterou mí dál.

—before and after a noun clause: Je dobře, že tomu rozumíš.

—before and after an adjective clause: Všechen cukr, všechna káva.

—before and after an adverbial clause: Jakmile mě uviděl, šel pryč.

S S S

Finally, quotation marks are always preceded by a colon. In Czech, the first quotation marks are on the line, not inverted, and are inverted at the end of the quotation. The trend in the United States is to use the standard English quotation marks — “ ” . Example: Otec řekl synovi: “Pokračuj a uč se!”

Our performances will be held during the band breaks to give your dancing feet a rest. Some of our performers are the VH Czech School of Dallas, Nina’s Czech/Slovak Folk group, and Laddie’s Jam Session, so far.

We are also asking if there are any Czech/Slovak vendors (table charge waived) who would like to sell their Czech/Slovak items such as Czech/Slovak cookbooks, children’s Czech coloring books, Czech/Slovak song books, etc. Contact Nina Marcussan at czechschoolof dallas@yahoo.com for more details.

There will be food and a cash bar available during the entire event.

We hope you save the date - Sunday October 9, 2022 - for a fun-filled afternoon with families and friends to celebrate Czech/Slovak heritage!

I will be posting more information as it becomes available.

Just set your calendar for October 9 at Sokol Dallas at 12 noon until 6 p.m. Fraternally, Lynda Novak, Secretary —SPJST—

“The history of Sokol is the modern history of the Czech national, and its long-lasting struggle for freedom and independence. I appreciate the work of Robert J. Tomanek, Ph.D. and consider Czech Immigrants and the Sokol Movement one of the best books in English ever written concerning Sokol.

DISTANČNÍ VÝUKA: Krajánek ve světě a Česká asociace zahajují druhé kolo zápisů na školní rok 2022-2023

Dobrý den, dovolujeme si s oznámit, že jsme pro druhou polovinu srpna opět otevřeli možnost se zapsat do interaktivních online kurzů češtiny, které pořádá spolek Krajánek ve světě ve spolupráci s Českou asociací.

Ve školním roce 2021-2022 navštěvovalo naše kurzy celkem 125 žáků z 27 států na pěti kontinentech. Všechny děti se toho nejen spoustu naučily, ale také si našly ve třídě kamarády a ve spolupráci s rodiči se nám daří v nich dlouhodobě podporovat vztah k češtině a České republice.

I od konce září na všechny děti opět čeká naše inspirativní a kreativní online výuka, tým výborných učitelů a čeští kamarádi ze všech koutů světa. Přidáváme navíc více časů, které jsou vhodné i pro rodiny mimo evropské časové pásmo.

Případní zájemci se mohou nezávazně přihlásit do konce srpna. DRUHÉ KOLO online přijímacích pohovorů (zápisů) bude probíhat v září od 5.9. do 14.9.

Nabídka kurzů: předškoláci (5 - 6 let), 1. - 4. třída, projektově-konverzační kurzy, čeština jako druhý jazyk

Bližší informace o jednotlivých kurzech a jejich obsahu naleznete zde: https://www.krajanekvesvete.cz/vyuka/ popis-kurzu/

Dny a časy jednotlivýcg kurzů jsou pak vypsány na stránce jednotlivých kurzů

O Projektu

Distanční online výuka českého jazyka je uzpůsobena specifikům českých žáků žijících dlouhodobě v zahraničí. Projekt je zaměřen především na děti, které nemají přístup k výuce češtiny (například nežijí v místě, jež má aktivní krajanskou školu nebo krajanský spolek, který výuku češtiny organizuje, popřípadě výuka poskytovaná krajanským spolkem nepokrývá jejich potřeby). Cílem projektu je vytvoření systému, který by umožnil dětem přístup k výuce, učebním pomůckám přizpůsobeným specifickým požadavkům multilingvních dětí a vytvoření inkluzivních tříd tvořených dětmi žijícími v zahraničí. S úctou Lenka Kanellia Předsedkyně
