Let’s start the weekend with some fun. As we promised, we have a great prize for CzechFolks.com readers. Everybody living in the USA can participate.

The sweepstakes are sponsored by ABC Imports – a company that imports great goods mostly from the Czech Republic. What can you find there? Here is a brief list of items that you can find on their website www.abc-imports.com: Read the rest of this entry (Čtětě více ZDE) »

A Czech proverb “Kolik reci vis, tolikrat jsi clovekem,” or in Slovak “Kolko reci vies, tolkokrat si clovekom,” can be literally translated as “As many languages as you know makes you that many times more of a person.” Basically it means that the number of languages you know makes you that number of times more of a person. So how many languages do you know? The golden rule is that you should know a little bit about the culture and language of the country you are visiting or moving to. The more you explore and learn about the country, its citizens and their culture, the more they will help you to understand the differences that could surprise you upon your arrival to a foreign country.

Our sweepstakes has ended and we have selected two winners of the DVD I Served the King of England. The drawing was quite difficult. As many of you already know, we randomly selected two winners right at the end of the sweepstakes (March 11^th). Unfortunately, one of the winners of this contest was disqualified for living outside the USA, and we did not hear from the other one.
Yesterday, we decided to go for a more fun selection process that involved all the CF subscribers. The two fastest responders were awarded with the prize and here are their names:

Once in a while, we provide you with news from the Czech Republic; however, it usually reflects happenings from the area of politics and entertainment or is somehow related to Czechs and Slovaks abroad. Nevertheless, we know how important it is to know what is happening in our home country. Today, you will have a great opportunity to learn about a site that provides excellet news and if you subscribe for free, with the promotion code below, you will receive bonus news only available to premium subscribes.

Are you wondering what site we are talking about? It is Prague Daily Monitor and it is accessible to everyone online but with limited access to the archives. The site offers free email subscriptions that allow you to receive some daily headlines. Monitor Plus is a paid program but today you can sign up for a 14-day free trial, no strings attached! This subscription allows you to access extra articles from the Monitor staff and full news translations from top Czech periodicals. We don’t have to remind you that the translations may help many readers to improve their Czech language, because they can find original articles online.You will also receive Breakfast Brief, which is a one page press (pdf) of the main business and political headlines and is aimed at the business sector and Diplomatic missions/embassies.

Two weeks ago we announced the official celebration of the Czech Republic assuming the EU presidency. We also provided you with the first video that described a summary of the initial activities associated with this rotation. Since some of you would like to keep up with the series, we have created a whole page that will be updated with each new sequence. You can, of course, find the videos at the Czech TV website in the section iVysilani. Unfortunately, the videos are mostly for Czech or Slovak native speakers since we are not able to provide periodic translations for all the videos. We will, however, keep you updated in our English/Czech articles in the future.
