Yesterday's Tale: A Peek into Martin's Day (CO VČERA DĚLAL MARTIN?)
Renča has created a short story about Martin's day. Why? It will give you a chance to practice all the verbs in the 3rd person (masculine) as well as time (v půl sedmé, ve tři čtvrtě na pět etc.), places and exressions useful when you want to talk about your day.
If you are a beginner or you struggle with listening, use the part in the slow mode first. Listen to it without a handout at first. It may be frustrating, I know. But your ears need to get used to the Czech sounds and words. Try to understand from the context as much as possible. Then use the handout. If you still struggle, use the translations on my website. Once you feel comfortable (it may take several days), push yourself and listen repeatedly to the fast version (without a handout). It may be really challenging at first, but don't give up. It's just like in the gym - your ears need to get used to the "heavy weights" (= fast mode).
Listening to the episode just once isn't enough.
I highly recommend you to download the handout + check the article with English translations here: https://czech-me.com/yesterdays-tale-a-peek-into-martins-day-co-vcera-delal-martins02-e57-daily-podcast-czech-your-day/

Popis podcastu
Czech Your Day is a daily podcast that helps foreigners really understand and learn Czech through weekly topics. Each episode of the week gets you one step closer to understanding Friday's episode - the story. Renča shows not only the "textbook version" of Czech, but also the "real-life Czech" (that means the way Czech people speak at home or with their friends). Yes, that's exactly what foreigners struggle with - being able to have a normal conversation with your Czech friends and colleagues. Renča also shares her tips and tricks that will help you on your learning journey. Keep listening and you will realize that your Czech is definitely getting better 😉
You can find transcripts/handouts from each episode on Renča's website CZECH-ME.COM.
