I want to learn to speak Czech

[Bucky]

I found a website that says I can learn Czech online for free. I dunno, it seems too good to be true. The only useful thing I found there was a list of Czech tongue twisters, like every phrase on Czech isn't already a tongue twister. Apparently the ones about ostriches are especially complicated though.

I want to learn to speak Czech.

While in Germany, I and my two buddies used to frequent this GREAT little Czech
gasthaus. The customers were half Germans and half Czechoslovakians... and us --
the only Americans we ever saw in the joint (except for one drunken slob of a
staff sergeant who, upon seeing us come in, rushed over and told us how glad he
was to see somebody "other than these damn 'Rads" -- 'Rads being a derogatory
term for Germans -- originally derived from "comrades" as in EAST German soldiers).
.
.
We literally and physically kicked his ass out onto the street. These folks were
friends of ours and had been very VERY nice to us. They were ALL refugees from the
Russian invasion of 1968 and were both very very sad & homesick and laughed more
than just about any group of people I've ever known. They were also EXTREMELY
kind and compassionate.
.
.
EXCEPT during one of my "Czech lessons". There weren't many single women in
this bar -- EXPECIALLY not our age of 18 or so. Mama & Papa brought their CUTE
daughter in for dinner and I... not ever letting an opportunity for adventure slip
by... ingratiated myself into a seat at their table.
.
They didn't speak English. I didn't speak any Czech. We all spoke a little German.
.
I decided to go old school and ask the parents if I could take their daughter out
to dinner sometime. I excused myself and asked my Czech buddies how to say that.
After about 5 minutes of INTENSE practice, I went back to their table and repeated
what I had been taught to them.
.
They looked angry and QUICKLY bundled up their daughter and left posthaste.
.
They must have had NO sense of humor whatsoever. My Czech fucking "buddies" were
all HOWLING and slapping each other on the back. What had I said?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Your daughter has breasts like the Alps."
.
.
.

.
Later, I was able to laugh about it, too.

Much....... MUCH later.

Oh!!! The only Czech I'll ever need to know?

Prosimte muzesh mir dat jedno pivo. (spelled horrendously, I would imagine)
