Hello: I will be travelling to the Czech Republic in December for two weeks and would like to learn a bit of the language. Is there a tutor in the Bay Area that would be willing to tutor me once a week for several months? Please let me know your rates. Thanks.
Hey, As much as I would like to say I live in San Fran (beautiful!) I don't. But I would like to help you with your Czech. I'm a native speaker but live in Calgary, AB. If you would like to arrange some sort of phone/msn tutoring, I'd totally be up for it.
Ahoj: I just posted the message below. I'd be happy to practice with you on the phone if you like.

I am looking for someone in the U.S. who I can talk to in Czech for 30 to 60 minutes once a week on the telephone. I am trying to learn Czech but at my age - 65 - it is going very slowly. My daughter, two grand children, and son-in-law live in Prague and I call them once a week and talk a bit to them in Czech. I also go to Prague at least twice a year for a week or so. I also study tapes, CD's and the like but I need much more practice actually hearing and speaking Czech. If someone else is roughly in the same boat language wise I'd be happy to see if we can practice together on the phone. Thanks Rick Reis reis@stanford.edu 650-725-0919
