My, you're looking lovely today. My name is Erika and I can think of few things I love more than baking and books. Cozy sweaters, bear hugs, Earl Grey tea and rainy days. I love nostalgia and hope your today is full of joy and wonder.

all my czech

I've been reading Jane Austen, whose writing is making my own dreadfully formal and proper. It's a shame, really, as I much preferred the old, casual, bad English that I used to practice. English is one thing, but Czech is a whole other (see that smooth transition? Now that is quality)!

The Czech words I know, a list by Erika Loggin

Ahoj - hello
Dobry den - good day
Mam se dobre - I'm good
Ja taky - me too
Jahoda - strawberry
Zmrzlina - ice cream
Tak - so
Tady - here
Jsem - I am
To je - it is
To neni - it isn't
Pravda - true
Legrace - funny
Bezva - very good
Zmatek - a mess
Nahoda - a coincidence
V poradku - Okay
V - in
S - with
Maslo - butter
Chleba - bread
Houska - bun
Syr - cheese
Caj - tea
Kava - coffee
Krava - cow
Pes - dog
Nebo - or
Ale - but
Nevin - I don't know
Nerozumim - I don't understand
Rozumim - I understand
Cesky - Czech
Anglicky - English

I think there might be a few more, but without the use of accents hardly anything is understandable anyways. I should wear a big sign on my back saying "PLEASE DO NOT ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION". Psh, as if I could learn how to say that.
