A while ago I talked to my polyglot friend, who's currently learning Czech, and he asked me for some easy reading materials. As I have offspring and thus my home is overflowing with kids books, it was pretty easy to find something suitable for, say, A1-A2 learners.
Since I've seen a lot of Czech learners on this site, I realized I could share with more people!
So, here's the link to my Google drive folder:
Hope it helps!
(if anyone needs help translating something, feel free to DM me)

Langblr Advent Calendar | 1 December 2022 | Tri orísky pro Popelku (1973; Three Wishes For Cinderella), dir. Václav Vorlícek
Hailed by critics as “a modern feminist take on the classic fairy tale” and “a European cult classic”, Tri orísky pro Popelku is a beloved wintry Czechoslovak/East German fairy-tale film that continues to be a popular Christmas classic in several European countries. The plot is based on a Czech variation of the classic Cinderella fairy-tale, written by the 19th century female writer Božena Němcová.
In the movie, a young woman, forced by her stepmother and stepsister into unpaid servitude, is gifted with three magical hazelnuts that can grant wishes. With their help, the girl’s life is changed dramatically as she manages to attend a ball forbidden to her, there catching the eye of a royal prince.
There’s also a recent Norwegian remake of the film, Tre nøtter til Askepott (2021; Three Wishes For Cinderella).

Apps i use to learn languages
1. Babbel
This is a language app that also teaches grammar & offers grammar exercises. You can practise the vocab words you learned & it teaches you about the people & culture of your target country.
However, it only offers 14 languages (English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Dutch, Indonesian) and you need a payed subscription to unlock the courses and can only learn one language at a time.
2. Duolingo
This is a language learning app that offers dozens of languages, even fictional ones from Game of Thrones & Star Trek. You can access all courses without subscription and can learn several languages at a time.
However, it doesn't offer any grammar exercises and you can't revise the vocab you learned.
3. LingoClip
In this app, you can listen to songs in your target language & have to fill in the gaps in the lyrics. You get 3 free songs per day without a subscription.
The languages they offer are English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Catalan.

If you subscribe to Quizlet, you can also keep track of your learning.

Hey sorry to be weird but I immediatelly recognized your header because I went to that station like, everyday in the past 3 years and i take Kujón (the train) to school and home sometimes, I just wanted to know if it was somehow related to you or if it's just a random picture you found?👀 Cuz it's such a small village im surprised it would be out in the wild lmao sorry sorry i got excited lol
Hi ! No problem no problem. It is not a random picture I found and I tried to write an explanation but I am not that advanced so I'm really just using my book and trying my best to make something coherent :
Mým přitel bydlí vedle Uničov a je poslal mi fotce vlak.
And in case I made any mistake : my friend lives in Uničov and sent me a picture of the train.
If you are from that region go you because it's a really lovely place and I had a great time there :)
