August 7, 2009 - Czech TV stars and a weekend!

There was a flurry of activity this morning, as we found out after we got to class that the Czech TV news would be coming to film our class in 10 minutes. This is an annual occurance, but apparently much sooner in the month than usual. They are most interested in the beginning and advanced classes, so after 5 days of Czech lessons we had to perform in front of a close-up camera! Later today we will have a chance to see what clips they used on the national news.

Lunch time today meant the start of a break from official language classes until Monday, the first long break from them we've had. I'm torn between taking a nap and trying to catch up on vocabulary! Tonight we will be watching a 1940s television version of "Babička" without subtitles. I'm hoping that having read the novel, I will still be able to follow the story. Then at 10 p.m. our Czech (and aerobics) teacher will be taking us to a disco in town. Tomorrow we have an all day trip to Litomyšl (9 a.m. to 8 p.m.) Sunday morning will be Olympic Games with another field trip in the afternoon. Before we know it, Monday's Czech class will be upon us again. Surprisingly, I am finding I know more what to do in situations in town, in spite of feeling like I haven't been learning all the vocabulary each day.
