Introduction
Reading can be defined as “the act of
decoding graphic material in order to determine
its message.” To put it another way, reading
consists of coming back to speech through its
graphic symbols. In short, meanings reside in
the sounds of the spoken language. Speaking a
language is the necessary first step to acquiring
the ability to read a language with meaning.
The recorded portion of the reading materials
for Czech will be found at the end of each unit,
starting with Unit Two. You can do the readings
as it is most convenient for you. They can be done
individually with the respective units or at a more
appropriate time afterwards. Instructions on
how to proceed with the readings are contained
in the audio portion of the course.
