Third edition of James Naughton's textbook of Czech for beginners. This is the standard textbook used for the Czech (with Slovak) degree at Oxford and will be of value throughout the course.

Notes

This is a significantly revised and updated version of the second edition (1999).

The list below is intended for recording any misprints worth publicising. The third edition has been typeset again, with a fresh layout, various additions and changes, and a few more illustrations. The recordings are also new. The step-by-step presentation of linguistic features closely matches the account given in the author's concise reference volume Czech: An Essential Grammar (2005).
