Czech/Slovak Aspies

Just wondering if there are any.

Certainly, the question is if they're here.

My great-great grandparents came from Moravia.

Neboj Janicka, oni su tu. Len im to chvilu trva... Kde studujes?

One-Winged-Angel, that's great. Moravia is the best place in the world I know. You can be proud of your origins.

My great-grandparents were from Czechoslovakia...I also look pretty Czech if that counts for anything

Co delas v Mnichove? Co si studoval v Brnu?

Ja momentalne pracuju v Ministerstvu Zdravotnictvi a manzel je Software Developer. Mi se chceme odstehovat do Prahy, ale je mozny ze zmenime nazor kdyz vyhodej Bushe.

Ja se ted chci ucit Nemecky, proto ze sem se divala na monster.cz a vidim ze ty mista ktery bych chtela potrebujou i Anglictinu i Nemcinu. Tak se snad zakladni Nemcinu naucim. Francouzky taky umim - cizy jazyky mi do cela jdou...

Tak za tim....

V Brne som si robil postgradual z astrofyziky. V septembri som prerusil studium a zdrhol som do Mnichova. Nechal som sa zlakat propagacnym plagatom. Doktorat z astrofyziky v ustredi ESO. Znie to dobre, ale bola to pekna blbost.

S nemcinou na tom asi nie som o moc lepsie ako ty, ale toto je medzinarodna skola a Mnichov je kozmopolitne mesto. Nemcinu prakticky nepotrebujem, ale na kurz nemciny chodim dva krat do tyzdna, uz od polovice septembra. Aj ked niekedy mam pocit, ze tu v Mnichove by mi skor pomohla spanielcina a francuzstina ako nemcina...

Astrofyzika zni jako velice zajimavy odbor. Ja obcas ctu clanky v Scientific American ktere se tycou astrofyziky, ale vim ze chapu dost malo o tom. Je to skoda ze ustredi ESO se ti ne libi, doufam ze se vratis do Brna skoncit studie.

Ja jsem prave skoncila Master's in Public Health. Momentalne pracuju v ministerstvu zdravotnictvy ale moc mne to ne bavi. Tam pracuju pro verejnou pojistovnu pro chude lidi (Medicaid) a jsem sefova lekarnictvi. Taky obcas ucim na prumyslove skole lekarnickou techniku. To mne bavi daleko vic, tak se snazim dostat misto na nejake univerzite. Manzel ne ma spolehlivy prijem z jeho firmy (doufam ze se to brzy zmeni), tak ze musim momentalne pracovat. Nove misto (kromne na univerzite) ne chci hledat, proto ze ne pracuju moc dlouho na miste co jsem ted. Tak mi drz palce ze mne nejaka univerzita konecne najme!

To je zajimave ze v Mnichove vyjdes bez Nemciny. Moje kamaradka tam studuje na lekarske fakulte, ale ona je Nemka. Moc mi ne rika o Mnichove - jen ji to mrzi ze se ne dostala na lekarskou fakultu v Berline.

Ano, astrofyzika je skutocne zaujimavy odbor. Keby ma to nezaujimalo tak to nestudujem. Ked som v ESO zacinal, bolo to nieco ako splneny sen, ale rychlo som zistil, ze ESO sa velmi nelisi od ostatnych vacsich medzivladnych organizacii. Tiez by som mal radsej miesto na univerzite, co sa mi coskoro splni. V Brne oficialne zacinam od 1. marca.

Urcite ti budem drzat palce. Ak ta bavi ucenie, nie je nic lepsie ako ucit na univerzite. Ale pokial si trufas, skus stastie na univerzite v zahranici. Financne sa to oplati daleko viac. Ja si kratko predtym ako si dokoncim PhD v Brne planujem poslat niekolko prihlasok na univerzity v zahranici. Urcite by som nechcel skoncit na Prirodovedeckej fakulte MU v Brne alebo (este horsie) na Astronomickom ustave AV CR v Ondrejove.

Prezit v Mnichove bez nemciny nie je az taky problem, pokial tu mozem studovat v anglictine. Zije tu vela cudzincov a miestni su na to zvyknuti. Neraz sa mi stalo, ze sa ma niekto spytal na cestu v nemcine a ja som ho navigoval v anglictine. Tvojej kamaratke sa nedivim. Vela ludi by radsej studovalo a pracovalo v Berline ako v Mnichove. Zivotne naklady su tam o 20% nizsie.

yes,
I'm russian born in poland adopted from the former ussr. Relearning both the russian and polish language. (so I can go back! back I say!)

also, Starbuline speaks/is russian-there is another, I don't remember the nick.

this thread is soooo far down I hadn't noticed it before

My ex coworker is danish-he was trying to teach me the language, and I like that one too; as well as german. But I'm not up for russian sentences yet.

I'm not sure about Chimpy, but I really don't understand Russian very well. They speak so gutterally - maybe reading it transliterated into this alphabet would work, but I am not sure. We did have to learn it in elementary school, but no one ever studied for it and it was pretty much socially acceptable and expected that you'd barely get promoted with a "D" grade. I can't read Russian at all either, I've forgotten how. I've wanted to learn it again, but at the moment my time is occupied with learning German (or trying to). If I return to live in Czech, all the jobs I want require fluency in German or English, preferably both.

Czech and Slovak (and Moravian, though that's more of a dialect) are pretty much understood back and forth between anyone who lives or has ever lived in former Czechoslovakia. My dad is 1/2 Slovak, so I have plenty of Slovak relatives. Even if that weren't the case, the daily news broadcast was in Slovak when I was little. Nowadays, there are tons of Slovaks working in the Czech Republic because the Czech economy can employ them for more money than the Slovak economy. Quite a few of them continue to speak Slovak when they work in Czech, but it doesn't bother anyone because we understand each other.
