Czech Step by Step

What it actually is

Lída Holá's series — Čeština Start, Čeština expres, Česky krok za krokem and New Czech Step by Step — is what most Czech language schools teach from, with editions annotated in English, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish and Spanish. Crucially, the audio recordings, online exercises, word banks and teacher manuals are free downloads even if you don't buy the books, and the accompanying YouTube channel posts short graded news videos with subtitles most weeks. The books themselves are paid, and prices are high for what is a fairly traditional course.
