Nova Ucitelka

That means "new teacher". I re-started Czech language lessons today... I am committed to giving it "one more try" before I throw in the towel and resign myself to Only-English-Speaking-Foreigner Status. Today we started over with Lesson 1 and practiced pronuciation and using vocabulary words in combination with the words for "this", "to have" and "to be". My teacher, Hana, told me at one point that I have good pronunciation... I'm not so sure about this since (1) Earlier this week I was adamantly corrected by a Czech woman in our church fellowship for my poor pronunciation of a common Czech word; and (2)We happened to have our Czech lesson in a very crowded, noisy KFC. I'm not sure she could actually HEAR my pronunciation! Oh well... her compliment served the purpose and kept me motivated for at least one more week! Now if she would just start giving me smiley stickers for doing my homework...
