Basic Czech II
Third Revised and Updated Edition
3rd Edition
Basic Czech I, II, and III form a complete textbook for a course for English-language speakers who want to learn Czech. Basic Czech II is structured similarly, but it moves students from beginning to intermediate work, gradually delving into more complicated issues of grammar and usage. It includes a compact disc that features audio exercises built around texts and dialogues that the student will have learned in the first volume.
