Czech this out! 2

Apparently the key languages anyone could ever want to know are French, Italian, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Spanish and German. I have to assume this since tapes and workbooks and phrasebooks dedicated to these languages hog the vast majority of Chapters' foreign language shelves.

Tucked into "other languages" lies two tiny Czech phrasebooks and one Czech phrasebook/CD. Well, the phrasebook/CD was tucked in among "other" until I bought it today. Now I'm listening to the CD and feeling overwhelmed. Apparently any language that doesn't sound like French or English makes my head swim. So far my memory only allows me to remember "ahoy" (hello) and "beero" (beer).

Yeesh.
