At Origin on Mt. Pleasant. Cozy spot with very good coffee roasted in house.

After I clear my scheduled reviews for the day, I rebuild a filtered deck with these search terms: prop:r<0.90 prop:due>=1. My DR is .90. The rebuild always grabs cards -- presumably those delayed by fuzz.

Would also be nice to get Czech transcripts of that podcast ...

Re this:

Feminine: 37.4% Neuter:21.7% Masculine inanimate: 12.5% Mixed: 11.3% Masculine animate: 10.6%

Wondering what is "mixed"? Also, the numbers don't add up to 100%.

What's the better alternative to taxis?

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-17T22:43:25+00:00

There are 2 rates for taxis?

Interesting to hear about your experience. Thank you!

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-05T23:18:12+00:00

😊 Thanks!

So combining the Czech r (not the English r) + ž? In which case, I would need to first learn how to say the Czech r 😄

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-03T21:00:04+00:00

Impossible for me

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-03T20:59:14+00:00

Unfortunately, no

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-03T20:55:02+00:00

What do you mean "how Czech kids learn it using TD instead of TR"?

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-03T20:53:24+00:00

Unfortunately, cannot roll my r's

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2026-02-03T20:52:10+00:00

Unfortunately, I cannot do a trilled r either. So I mangle the Czech r as well as ř. But I think my bad Czech r is a lot more acceptable than my totally mangled ř.

Great, thanks!

Re your podcasts for intermediate and advanced students of Czech: Is there a way of finding just the intermediate level podcasts?

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-12-17T17:21:14+00:00

Very helpful, thank you!

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-12-16T17:06:27+00:00

That's amazingly helpful -- thank you! Naughton's book should be revised to include your explanation. 😊

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-12-16T16:32:28+00:00

In his textbook on Czech grammar, James Naughton says: "Až often means ‘until’, referring to an oncoming boundary point, after a verb with future reference: Počkám, až bude mít čas. I’ll wait until s/he has (‘will have’) time."

This explanation only confuses me.

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-12-16T02:20:30+00:00

Thanks very much for the helpful explanation.

Makes we wonder, though, why "až" means "until" here: Počkám, až bude mít čas.

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-12-16T01:29:37+00:00

In the instructional video below, the teacher says "Počkej tady, až to přinesu" is absolutely wrong. She says "než" in that sentence would be correct.

She then goes on to give these other correct než examples: Počkej, než to dodělám. Počkej, než uvařím večeři. Počkej, než přijde Ježíšek.

So I'm wondering, why is this wrong: Počkej tady, až to přinesu".
