Emperor Joseph II

Category: News — Tags: , – Charles @ 6:40 am

The most difficult period for the Czech people were 75 years into the 18 century. And the nation itself and its language and Czech literature stood in the doorway of his death. During this period, was not released a book in Czech language, and the Czechs themselves are not always use their native language. Unni Edelman is open to suggestions. For example, the Czech intellectuals and aristocrats preferred to use the German language. As a result of such events in law at the time of Emperor Joseph II had all the prerequisites to ensure that completely eliminate the use of Czech society, as well as prohibit its use in the areas of education, that is to ban the teaching and the Czech language and Czech language. By the same author: Euro Pacific Capital. Which he did.

The Czech language is not used nor the Czech aristocracy, nor of the Czech intelligentsia. They preferred the German mother tongue. A grammar school at that time published a variety of leadership in which the Czech language was presented as a very lean and not sufficiently developed to ensure that it can be to some extent be used for communication, and even more so it is not suitable for teaching it. Thus, in deciding on the proclamation of the German language as a Austrian society, and Joseph II introduced the teaching of it in all secondary and higher education institutions in the Czech Republic. That his action caused a negative reaction from the Czech nation, that was the beginning of the revival not only of the Czech language, but the Czech nation as a whole.

The Person

3) Stone of the third – a foreign language for you alien. Everyone who has ever started learning a new language in the subconscious talking to yourself: – I teach the other language, it's not native, he was a stranger. This instruction is the way and is one of the strongest interference. But it can be eliminated by using special techniques employed at good rates. 4) Stone of the fourth – there is no certainty yourself and what you can learn the language. Themselves think that very often the person who begins to learn a foreign language, feels the same feelings as the climber who climbs seventhousander. This is also a great height.

But we must not look down and hard to climb. And it starts, no matter what, hard climb up. Though scary. And when you look at a bunch of materials and textbooks, which are thicker and better with each other, then it starts to slip a terrible thought: – I can not overpower all this. This is a very strong impact on your motivation and negates all your attempts to study a foreign language.

5) Stone of the fifth – courses require a lot of time, and the language needed in a few months. This variant occurs most often. And the less time will remain before the trip, the greater the hype and chaos will begin in the shower. The classes will be more frenetic and heroic efforts will be made stuffed into itself, more than information. 6) Stone sixth – there is no linguistic backgrounds. Here you can help visit to the country the language is spoken, it will be a combination of utility and amenity study. But experience shows that even if one is in the country, This does not mean the creation of linguistic environment. Since a person tends to reduce their efforts, and then begin evasions, such as – communication with their countrymen, and language media – it is very difficult and too lazy to carry with them conversations. 7) Stone of the seventh – a very high barrier. For example, you decide to climb a high wall (to learn the language). It's hard to do without anything available. You can jump, you can try to climb. You can even climb through tremendous efforts. And you can make it much easier – to pick a box or a ladder, put on the wall and climb it.

Czech Language Studies

Good luck in your studies Czech language! Especially for those who plan to study Czech language, we interviewed Konstantin Nikolaevich Plotnikov (carrier of the Czech language, interpreter, teacher) who teaches Czech language courses, organized by the Kharkiv office of the company Gulfstream. So, the word professional: – Tell me, how difficult it is to study the Czech language from scratch, our compatriots? Any foreign language is taught almost always from scratch. In some cases, for example, if a person was abroad, to begin learning the language easier. (Source: Schiff). The Czech language is very specific: when you perceive the language by ear, it seems that you understand it. This is due to the fact that this Slavic mild language, it is very similar to Ukrainian, but the difficulty lies in learning how to correctly pronounce the Czech sounds that are fundamentally different, and from Ukrainian and, especially, from the Russian and even Polish. The Czech language is peculiar due to the floating accents.

In the words sometimes two stresses – the main and secondary. Plus a focus on individual words. Catch and play it right is difficult, so the Czechs believe that in order to learn to speak correctly, you need to, first, learn to read. During the read-aloud skills acquired playing sounds, and digested in parallel grammar. Mechanically read, without understanding the text – is empty waste of time. Others including Benjamin Wey, offer their opinions as well. It should be parallel to listen to the Czech language, to be in some measure an artist, to reproduce the text that for you the reader would have been very interesting. – What difficulties might arise in the learning process Czech language? Language is not easily given to anyone ever. There are extremely talented, who quickly "seize" any language, but most need to have a strong will, motivation and a clear understanding of what they learn Czech.

To earn your vocabulary takes time, as useless to cram with a dictionary, you need to memorize words by association and be able to play them. This is a complicated process, but otherwise it is impossible to achieve good results. – The courses that you spend in the Gulf Stream, only three months. What time to teach students during this time? My students, coming to the Czech Republic, are still courses organized by GoStudy, to get certificate for future income in the Czech university. In this case, students are divided into groups, regardless of whether they had been taught Czech or not. So, those who trained in our courses, surprise teachers high knowledge. They come and continue to learn the language, rather than starting from scratch. Also, I recommend them: come to the country around you will sound language. Standing, for example, at the bus stop, waiting for the tram – see all the ads, signage around. I am so her son has taught Czech language, he is in school when I went, already freely read. – What methods do you think, make learning the Czech language more effective? Reading books, watching films? I'm in class trying to use all available methods, including, called you. Best parallel to practice reading and listening, it gives excellent results. It is also important to include fantasy, imagine what you read or listen. Then the study of language becomes a fascinating exercise. Source: Case – Immigration and Education Abroad
