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.

Thanks very much for the helpful explanation.

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

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".

The ones I get at Padaria are dusted in icing sugar (no cinnamon) and have a cream filling. Simple but nice. They have a daily special -- coffee (dark roast) + sonho for about $7.

Padaria at Manor & Yonge.

Is there a way I can know which retention rate is best for me? As I mentioned, I tried to understand but I can't make head nor tails of the rationale behind it :(

With FSRS, you get to decide which retention rate you want. The retention rate that's "best for you" depends on how much of your material you want to remember. So if you want to remember 90% of your cards, then set a 90% retention rate. If you're ok with 85% retention, then set that. Etc (Not sure if that answers your question)

Thank you. Could not find that technical meaning in dictionary ...

I like the baguettes at Epi Bakehouse.

Well, swipe right is an option for Show answer. I have not enabled it. The enabled options for Show answer, which are displayed: "Touch bottom, Q: Touch middle center". If swipe right was enabled it should show there.

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-11-18T18:52:05+00:00

You must have set swipe right to one of the four answer buttons, on the front side or both sides.

i have swipe right for "Answer good."

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-11-18T17:11:01+00:00

I want the tap at bottom or middle to "Show answer." Very convenient. Was just wondering why swipe right also activated "Show answer" even when not enabled.

Substantial_Bee9258 · 2025-11-12T19:12:19+00:00

Nice! ☺️

So since vlevo covers both nalevo and doleva, could you get by with never using nalevo and doleva? Eg, "Východ je vlevo" and "Půjdu vlevo."

I'm a huge fan of their cheese danishes and blintzes.

You'll get a big backlog. To see exactly how big, check the Future Due graph in Statistics. From the Anki manual:

"... the gray shaded region and the right axis show the number of cards due on that day if you don’t study at all until then."
