# No BS Czech

> No BS Czech (nobsczech.cz) is a free online platform for learning the Czech language. It combines plain-English grammar articles with auto-generated practice "quests" — themed sets of vocabulary and grammar drills built on the fly from what a learner wants to talk about (e.g. "talking to my landlord," "the accusative case"). The focus is practical, no-nonsense instruction for foreigners and expats who want to teach themselves Czech.

Key things to know:

- All grammar articles are free to read, with live practice exercises embedded directly in each one.
- Anyone can start a quest without an account (a guest session); creating an account saves progress. Free accounts get one new quest per month; a subscription removes that cap and unlocks additional practice modes (e.g. speaking practice).
- Quests are generative (auto-built from a theme, a grammar case, or a learner's own words/photos) rather than fixed quizzes, and adapt to what the learner gets wrong.
- Content targets beginner-to-intermediate learners, with special attention to topics English speakers struggle with (the seven Czech cases, reflexive verbs, formal vs. informal address, word order).
