These are ePUB, MOBI, PDF and text (.csv) versions of a small study dictionary of Czech for learners. (Please note that this dictionary is designed for use by learners of Czech, and not by learners of English.)
The dictionary is aimed at beginners who would like to work at acquiring some (mainly) core vocabulary. This is very much a testing version only, and it is hoped that there will be future revisions in due course.
A number of less 'core' vocabulary items are taken from Milan Kundera's short story 'Falešný autostop', as this text is read by students at the beginning of their degree course. Account has also been taken of some everyday vocabulary useful to visitors and other items which would seem self-evidently common in everyday language, even though many such items are often not captured as such by frequency lists (based on the existing Czech language corpora).
Considerable attention has also been paid to aspectual pairs of verbs and their cross-referencing, even though it should be noted that the frequency of occurrence of perfective and imperfective counterparts will often vary considerably.
ePUB version, for multiple devices
MOBI version, e.g. for Kindle
To use (and, if you wish, adjust and edit) this vocabulary list for searching, flashcard training and for multiple choice tests, unzip the .csv file below and open with a recent installed version of WordQuiz:
