a) Grammar-light Approach (What is grammar, anyway?)

From A0 to A2. This is for learners who want a smooth introduction into Czech without getting tangled with grammar right away.

My Recommendation:

1. Begin with my 12-hour video course A Fantastic Journey Into the Czech Language & Culture – it’s a fun and engaging way to get started and fall in love with Czech.
2. Look at the first page of the Imperfective Verbs Worksheet to get a sense of the four basic verb groups.
3. Take a look at a few stories from My First Czech Adventure. Read, listen, and observe how verbs are used in context.
4. Go back and study the rest of the Imperfective Verbs from the list.
5. Explore the Perfective Verbs worksheet.
6. Return to My First Czech Adventure, read more stories, and focus on verb usage. Don’t forget to check out the grammar appendix at the end of the e-book if you feel like you are ready for more explanations.
7. Čeština na gauči will build your vocabulary. You will learn 120 practical words in context.
8. Continue your journey with Explore the Art of Original Czech Conversing – the dialogues will help you pick up practical phrases and improve your listening and speaking skills around the A2 level.

b) Grammar-friendly Approach (Bring it on!)

From A0 to B1. This is for learners who are comfortable with grammar and want a structured understanding of Czech from the start.

My Recommendation:

1. Start with The 100 Most Frequent Czech Verbs. Listen to the example sentences and get used to Czech word order and sentence structure.
2. The 100 Most Frequent Czech Verbs gives you an overview of all the grammatical forms of each verb but if you'd like a different approach and see how the conjugations in present and future are formed, you will find my worksheet on imperfective and perfective verbs very helpful. 
3. If you want to understand how to use the conditional forms and what aby is, study with the conditionals in my worksheet.
4. When you start noticing patterns or feel curious about grammatical cases, it’s time to open Just in Case. Take it at your own pace – you can explore the cases one by one as you feel ready.
5. To expand your vocabulary, explore The 100 Most Frequent Czech Nouns. You can study it alongside your case learning – pick a noun and look at how it changes in the cases you've already covered.
   (All my grammar resources use the same color-coding system, making it easier and faster to understand the patterns.)

a) Minimal Grammar – Just Enjoy the Language

From A2 to B2. Whether you prefer a relaxed approach, here are resources for learners at levels A2 and higher.

My Recommendation:

1. Enjoy reading and listening to real-life stories in When Czech Stories Are Never Better 1. In this video course, I explain key vocabulary and relevant grammar, but the main focus is on understanding informal, everyday Czech. They're perfect for expanding your comprehension and vocabulary in a natural way.
2. If you loved the first part, you will love When Czech Stories Are Never Better 2 even more!

b) Grammar-Focused – For the Grammar Enthusiasts

From A2 to B2. If you want to tackle more grammar, these resources for learners at levels A2 and higher.

My Recommendation:

1. The 100 Most Frequent Czech Nouns will help you integrate common nouns into your vocabulary and understand how they function across different grammatical cases.
2. The Demonstrative Pronouns worksheet will clarify how to use forms like ten, tenhle, tenhleten, or tadyten (including other genders and variations).
3. If you're working on mastering verbs, the Conditional Clauses worksheet and Verb Prefixes Package are excellent tools. They'll guide you through verb structure, usage, and meaning changes brought by different prefixes.
