Jožo speaks Czech and Slovak
Magda: Jožo, what’s that book you’re reading? It looks like some kind of really good fantasy …
Jožo: Yeah, you’re right, it’s really popular in Slovakia right now.
Magda: Oh wow, I’d be really into that.
Jožo: I’ve nearly finished it, you can borrow it if you want.
Magda: But it’s in Slovak?!
Jožo: Well of course, it’s a Slovak author.
Magda: Yeah, but it would take me forever to read, and I still wouldn’t understand.
Jožo: You’ve never read a book in Slovak? In Slovakia we’re always reading something in Czech …
Magda: Yeah? How come?
Jožo: The fact is that not every book gets published in Slovak, so loads of people read Czech books.
Magda: And that’s not a problem for you?
Jožo: Why should it be, when we watch so much Czech television?
