Even if you do not like crossword puzzles, you may end up loving these. Designed for mother-tongue or wholly fluent speakers of Czech wanting to improve their English skills, the puzzles may also be agreeably diverting to English speakers. They are formatted so that each puzzle may be solved in 15 to 30 minutes. The vocabulary gradually becomes harder all over puzzles thence increasing the challenge as you progress. Each book has 100 puzzles and each puzzle covers a great deal of 30 word pairs (equaling 3000 challenges!). These are veritably pleasant, if not addictive, crossword puzzles for language learning. Learning a language is always difficult. To ease the pain, hints are provided in little script at the bottom of each page, altho these are chosen to prevent an engineered solution to the puzzle. Full solutions are provided in the back of the book. These two features (hints and verifiable solutions), strength the reader to decipher a word’s meaning and serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. One recent reviewer of this series cited “As a Peace Corps Volunteer … this is unquestionably a fun way to keep up the language accomplishments … The series has a whole bunch of “rarely spoken” languages, widely unknown to us in the Western world.” Another reviewer notes: “Good teacher as it has words listed under that are in puzzle so the clues are there if you need them.” Public domainname translations for Czech contributed to Webster’s Online Dictionary employed in these puzzles may have originated from uncited volunteers, native speakers, professional translators, field linguists and academics (not by the editor of the puzzles). If you would like citation for any translations, make suggestions, note errors, or bestow in any other way, please email Philip M. Parker at INSEAD, who will update this series from time to time.
