Czech contains some unfamiliar letters and a few difficult sounds for English speakers. The letters b d f g h k l m n p s t v x and z sound the same as in English. Note that g is always hard as in âlagâ, never soft as in âlargeâ, and s is always hissed as in âlessâ, never like z as in âLesâ. The stress is always on the first syllable of the word. The pronunciation guide in this book uses hyphens to separate the syllables. The letters l and r can be a syllable in their own right, e.g. Vltava (vl-ta-va), sprcha
