4 credits · Undergraduate credit

Further development of grammatical structures includes acquiring the complex use of verbs (participles, reflexive passive forms), of adverbs, conjunctions, and interjections and comprises the study of complex sentences (time, conditional, of concession). Stylistic structures are studied. All grammatical material is presented in authentic cultural context with regular use of contemporary Czech mass media, Czech music, film and literature. Course is based on extensive reading and subsequent discussions. The course further enhances Czech vocabulary (CV, health, body, leisure activities) and idioms and is conducted primarily in Czech.
