Just a short note to introduce myself. I'm an Englishman who has lived and worked in France for 18 months. I've been interested in Czech culture and history ever since I read my first Kundera novel. Now, I'm in daily contact with Czech colleagues in Brno ... so what better time to *attempt* to learn some czech (the textbook is in the post). I look forward to talkint to you in english, french or italian .. and hopefully soon Czech. Best wishes, Dan
