“Tell me, and I will forget.  Show me, and I may remember.  Involve me, and I will understand.”

You’ll remember the things you write
Remember writing cribs? If you write something, you remember it better, too. That’s why dictations can be a real help – try to write something that you hear – and you practice listening and spelling, too.

The best dictionary is the world around us
Or try to learn as much vocab as you can. See something in the street that you don’t understand? Look it up! And write it again! And if you create Czech-English cards, it will help you, too! By revising them, you will remember the words for a long time.

Read it although you don’t fully understand it!
Try bilingual books; although you won’t understand everything, the English version will help you and you don’t have to waste time looking the word up.

Speak and speak
Have you ever tried speaking Czech to yourself? Just walking down the street and describing people, shops, or acting as in a dialogue? This helps you a lot because when you start to think in Czech, speaking will be more natural!
