		<description>I don&#039;t see what the problem is: I have no Apples = I don&#039;t have any Apples. I speak no Czech = I don&#039;t speak Czech. Perhaps it&#039;s more likely in Ireland to phrase it this way.</description>

		<description>Normally people tell me how wrong I am *before* I try these missions. I was conversational at two months into my mission! You can see me speak in video at that stage. I couldn&#039;t go through with the last month for financial reasons, but all of your arguments ignore a huge aspect of learning another language beyond &quot;getting your point across&quot;. I had friendships entirely in Czech.
I don&#039;t need luck ;) Just commitment. Your &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fluentin3months.com/hours-not-years/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;years&lt;/a&gt;&quot; of Czech were not the same as my two months. There is a world of difference between the context, motivation and priorities. Sorry!</description>

		<description>Ha, thanks for all the information... I&#039;ve actually been to Prague a few times since I last posted and am living there this summer so I know the language much better now.  You&#039;re right, it&#039;s actually not so hard to learn.  Just remembering which grammar cases to use can occasionally be tricky.  Anyway, thanks for your help, how you had a good trip!</description>

		<description>Hey Jess!! Thanks so much for what you said! Nothing makes me happier to think that someone has enjoyed not just one, but several of my articles!!! I&#039;m new to the world of writing, so this encouragement is really appreciated :)
Being a polyglot is definitely achievable!! I wish you the best of luck in reaching your goal and I hope that my advice points you in the right direction!!
As it so happens, I have &lt;u&gt;several&lt;/u&gt; posts planned a little later, specifically about speaking and perfecting a language when not in the right country. Here in Prague I&#039;ve hugely perfected my French and Portuguese and other languages. I&#039;d apply the same methods if living in the states or an English speaking country. All will be revealed! Stay tuned :P
For the moment keep up the good studies to get ready to start practising!!! :)</description>

		<description>Great site! I just went through all your posts (okay, I skimmed a little, I admit it), and I&#039;m feeling quite inspired. I&#039;ve been *meaning* to become more conversational in French and German for quite some time now, and this might just be the kick in the pants - accompanied by helpful tips - that I need to get at it again. 

&quot;Become a polyglot&quot; is a main item on my &#039;bucket list&#039;! 

Unfortunately, I can&#039;t ship off elsewhere where the languages are actually spoken for at least a little while - what are your thoughts on learning a language. . . when not in a country speaking that language?

		<description>Katrina. I still haven&#039;t found a good reason to call this language hard. ;) People keep saying that to me, but I have an answer to every excuse they can come up with. It just needs to be studied and approached correctly, that&#039;s all :) If you continue thinking that it&#039;s hard, then you&#039;re studies may be slowed down...
 
Just a few things to note on what you wrote that I&#039;ve learned so far:
- &quot;kde&quot; is actually pronounced Gde (guh-deh if you have trouble with the double consonant, although that&#039;s not exactly right). This is the same with kdo, kdy etc.
- &quot;Jak se máte&quot; is too formal for me. I don&#039;t ask strangers in the street how they are doing (unlike in America that isn&#039;t a general greeting in most countries. You ask people how they are doing when you genuinely want to know and don&#039;t mind if the answer isn&#039;t positive). I use the informal &quot;Jak se maš&quot; since I&#039;d only ask people my age how they are doing. The only situation I can think of using Jak se máte would be if I was at a formal event (which I rarely go to), or if I meet a nice Czech girl and I get introduced to her parents... or of course I&#039;d use it when talking to more than one person.
- It&#039;s easier to ignore &quot;j&quot; starting before another consonant. Czechs either don&#039;t pronounce it, or its pronunciation is very slight. So jmenuji se would start simply &quot;men...&quot; and jsem (I am) is simply &quot;sem&quot;
Best of luck with your studies!!</description>

		<description>Please = prosím ---  pronounce: &quot;proseem&quot;
How are you? = jak se mate --- pronounce: &quot;yak say mahtay&quot;
Where is the train station? = kde je stanice metra? --- pronounce &quot;kdee ye stanitsa metra?&quot; You will probably use subway so I said subway station.
My name is... = &quot;jmenuji se...&quot; --- Pronounce &quot;yuhmenowee say...&quot;

Good luck, very hard language.  it will be tough but you got it.  I am interested in seeing how it goes because I am American born czech in the process of learning the language myself.</description>

		<description>Please = prosím ---  pronounce: &quot;proseem&quot;
How are you? = jak se mate --- pronounce: &quot;yak say mahtay&quot;
Where is the train station? = kde je stanice metra? --- pronounce &quot;kdee ye stanitsa metra?&quot; You will probably use subway so I said subway station.
My name is... = &quot;jmenuji se...&quot; --- Pronounce &quot;yuhmenowee say...&quot;

Good luck, very hard language.  it will be tough but you got it.  I am interested in seeing how it goes because I am American born czech in the process of learning the language myself.</description>

		<description>Hello Benny,
Greetings from a colleague/polyglot in Hungary. I&#039;m quite excited about your learning methods. As I&#039;m learning Hungarian at the moment- finding it very difficult-  it quite puzzles me how you can do a foreign language in only three months. I will keep updated, that is for sure...
I currently speak Dutch (native language), English, French, German, Italian, and already (after two years living in Hungary) some Hungarian. I want to learn Esperanto and Romanian as well - in a later stage that  is - as it would help me in my job. I&#039;m a freelance translator/copywriter/editor and in my village, the intermediate between foreigners (mostly German) and the locals. It is fascinating and it proves how important language knowledge is.
Good luck and hope to hear more of it soon!

		<description>Thanks so much for your comments everyone :)
I will be discussing &lt;i&gt;general&lt;/i&gt; language learning tips that can be applied to any language. But I will &lt;i&gt;also&lt;/i&gt; be getting very specific and discussing languages that I already know (including French @&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fluentin3months.com/how-to-become-fluent-in-a-language-in-3-months/comment-page-1/#comment-11&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ton&lt;/a&gt;!)
The next 3 months I will be focussed on learning Czech, so I can only talk about that as well as my other languages (see the list on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irishpolyglot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; website). However, I plan to continue writing on this blog as I embark on &lt;u&gt;other&lt;/u&gt; languages after this summer. Stay tuned! If I decide to go to Israel I will of course try my hand at Hebrew @&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fluentin3months.com/how-to-become-fluent-in-a-language-in-3-months/comment-page-1/#comment-17&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Blondeel&lt;/a&gt; ;) But until then, I&#039;m sure my general tips will apply to your language learning methods. Watch this space!! :)</description>
