As a non-native Czech speaker, how long as it taken you to reach your current level of proficiency? Obviously, include your proficiency level as well. :wink:
I've been learning Czech off and on for 3 years, and currently my boyfriend does not speak English, so that gives you some idea where I am. Though I don't understand anything and my cases are terrible when I speak, and can get most things across... All I can recommend is practice practice practice, mostly by speaking, is the best way. I've taken one semester of Czech and one two week intensive course, and that is it. I have a notebook where I write down words and their english equivalent, I try to read and speak as much as possible as well, though if my friends speak English I do get lazy, so I try to find people who don't speak English. This is the best way. All the luck! Hilary
