THE TRANSCRIPT/HANDOUT IS DOWN BELOW

This week has definitely been fruitful. That’s why I created these two dialogues for you.

You can not only practice what you have learnt this week, you will also see the difference between TEXTBOOK VERSION of Czech and REAL-LIFE CZECH.

Dialogue One in Czech:

Textbook Version:
- Jaké máš ráda ovoce? (What fruits do you like?)
- Mám ráda švestky, jablka, meruňky. A v létě mám ráda melouny. (I like plums, apples, apricots, and in summer, I like watermelons.)
- Jaké další ovoce máš ráda? (What other fruits do you like?)
- Také mám ráda jahody, borůvky a rybíz. (I also like strawberries, blueberries, and currants.)
Real-life Version:
- Jaký* máš ráda ovoce? (What fruits do you like?)
- Mám ráda švestky, jabka*, meruňky. Jo*, a v létě mám ráda melouny. (I like plums, apples [colloquial], apricots, and in the summer, I like watermelons.)
- Jaký* další ovoce máš ráda? (What other fruits do you like?)
- Taky* mám ráda jahody, borůvky a rybíz. (I also like strawberries, blueberries, and currants.)

Dialogue Two in Czech:

Textbook Version:
- Jaké máš ráda ovoce? (What fruits do you like?)
- Mám ráda hrušky, borůvky a pomeranče. A jaké ovoce máš rád ty? (I like pears, blueberries, and oranges. And what fruits do you like?)
- Já mám rád melouny, jahody a švestky. (I like watermelons, strawberries, and plums.)
- A jaké ovoce nemáš rád? (And what fruits don’t you like?)
- Nemám rád rybíz a kiwi. (I don’t like currants and kiwi.)
- A proč je nemáš rád? (And why don’t you like them?)
- Nechutnají mi, protože jsou kyselé. (They don’t taste good to me because they are sour.)
Real-life Version:
- Hele*, jaký* máš ráda ovoce? (Hey, what fruits do you like?)

- A jaký* ovoce nemáš rád? (And what fruits don’t you like?)
- Nemám rád rybíz a kiwi. (I don’t like currants and kiwi.)
- A proč je nemáš rád? (And why don’t you like them?)
