Mi ujel vlak, the train rode off on me, is how Czech says I missed the train. Czech, explained in English. You choose the language of your explanations. ## What to read in Czech Today, the daily edition, has headlines from Czech outlets, including ČT24, ČT24 Kultura, ČT24 Věda, ČT sport, Lupa.cz and OSEL. Open one and the article opens in the reader, where every word can be tapped. The Store has no Czech books yet. Books there are in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. You can also bring your own Czech: import a PDF, save a link to a web article, or paste text. Whatever you read, it stays in Czech, and help appears only where you ask for it. ## How a tap helps The word turns bold and a note opens under its sentence with the meaning it has here, in your own language. Word analysis gives the root and the form. Select a few words or a sentence to translate just that part. Every word you tap is saved with its sentence and comes back as a card, at longer and longer gaps, until you know it. Listen reads books, PDFs and your texts aloud in a natural Czech voice, sentence by sentence. ## Is it right for you? ContextCat works best once you know enough Czech to follow a simple text and want to read more of it. If you are starting from zero, begin with a course, and come back when short texts feel within reach. The [guides](https://contextcat.app/guides) have ideas on where to start. ## Read next - [How many words do you need to read the news in another language?](https://contextcat.app/guides/how-many-words-do-you-need-to-read-the-news) - [How to learn a language by reading](https://contextcat.app/guides/how-to-learn-a-language-by-reading) ## Questions ### Can I learn Czech with ContextCat?
