Cecilia is back with another language lesson, this time focusing on the months of the year. Because the Czech and Slovak languages are so different when it comes to calendar months, the next round of lessons will focus on one language only. We will begin with videos focusing on the Czech words for the months of the year, then follow up with videos that focus on the Slovak language. Happy learning! | National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library

Czech equestrian Lata Brandisová was the only woman to win the Great Pardubice Steeplechase.
