| Classes Czech Language classes
Free classes in the Czech language (including class materials) are offered by the Harris County Chapter. Two levels of Czech instruction are provided. New arrivals are always welcome into the class, because we continually repeat and practice material. The only prerequisite for these classes is an interest in the Czech language and culture. For further information call:713-861-7403 or call the CHS Library at 713-349-0500.
Beginner classes 7-8:30 pm each Wednesday: The beginning Czech class is taught by Vera Kudrna for those who do not have a background knowledge of the Czech language. Phonics is stressed. Members of the class work in groups of 2 or 3 to actively practice the material presented in class. Intermediate 7-8:30 pm each Tuesday: The intermediate class is taught by Tony Kudrna, a native Czech speaker, who encourages Czech conversation, reading and writing. Additionally, Czech travelogues, videos, sing-alongs, and class parties are included in the class activities.
Taroky classes: 7-8:30 pm each Wednesday
Taroky is a tarot game for 4 players, played in the Czech Republic (especially in Moravia) and also in Slovakia. It is played with a 54-card pack similar to that used for Austrian Tarock. There are several local variations in the rules. Taroky is a point trick game - the object is to take tricks containing valuable cards. There are four active players and the play is counterclockwise. The 54-card pack consists of four suits of eight cards plus 22 permanent trumps, called taroky. |  MARK YOUR CALENDARS 2010 Membership Dues - due by January 1, 2010 Receive meeting notices by email: just call or email the HCC-CHS and provide your email address
