    I am a guy from Holland and a couple of weeks ago I've become interested in a really nice girl from the Czech Republic. I've finally decided to ask her out and, to impress her :), I want to ask her out in Czech. Can someone please tell me how to say:
    "Would you like to see a movie or have something to eat with me sometime?". Or something like that.
    Thanks a bunch!

    Hi Store,
    This is something you could say:
    Nechtela bys nekdy zajít se mnou do kina nebo treba na obed?
    It literally means: Would you like to go to the cinema or maybe to lunch with me sometime? If you'd rather have dinner with her, replace "obed" with "veceri".
    There is a "hacek" above the second "e" in "nechtela", the "e" in "nekdy", the "r" in "treba", the "e" in "obed" and the "c" and "r" in "veceri".
    Here is the approximate pronunciation of the sentence:
    Neh-htye-lah bees nye-gdee zah-yeet seh mnoh do kee-nah neh-bo trzeh-bah nah obyed/veh-tche-rzi?
    Good luck! :)

    Thanks, I'll go work on that pronunciation. If it all works out I'm going to look into learning the language, so you might see more of me over here. Thanks again!
