| INTRODUCTION |
| In this lesson, we’ll learn about the phrases you can use if you want to know more about the tourist attractions you visit in the Czech Republic. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| When you want to ask “Do you have an English information guide?”, in Czech, this is.. |
| Máte informačního průvodce v angličtině? |
| Let’s break it down: |
| Má-te in-for-mač-ní-ho prů-vod-ce v ang-lič-ti-ně? |
| Once more: |
| Máte informačního průvodce v angličtině? |
| The first word, Máte, is a verb that means something like “do you have”. |
| (slow) Má-te. |
| Máte. |
| The word informačního is an adjective meaning “information”. |
| (slow) In-for-mač-ní-ho. |
| Informačního. |
| Next we have průvodce which means “a guide”. |
| (slow) Prů-vod-ce. |
| Průvodce. |
| This is followed by v angličtině which means “in English”. |
| (slow) V ang-lič-ti-ně. |

| Máte informačního průvodce v angličtině? |
| It means “Do you have an English information guide?” |
| To ask for a guide in a different language, we can just replace the word for “in English” with the word for any other language. |
| For example, you can use the phrase ‘In French’ or ‘ve francouzštině.’ |
| To ask “Do you have a information guide in French?”, you can say in Czech.. |
| Máte informačního průvodce ve francouzštině? |
| (slow) Má-te in-for-mač-ní-ho prů-vod-ce ve fran-couz-šti-ně? |

| In the case that you’re looking for a guide in German, you can use the word v němčině meaning “in German.” |
| (slow) V něm-či-ně. |

| “Do you have a information guide in German?” in Czech is... |
