Description

Danny Bate, a former member of Radio Prague and linguist, has just published his first book, titled Why Q Needs U. In it, he dives into the history of the English alphabet and invites readers to see language as a collaborative project shaped by its speakers from day to day. The self-taught Czech speaker, writer, and perennial Czechophile, also shares practical advice for learning the language, including how to master the notoriously difficult ‘ř’ sound.
