== Cultural Insights ==
==== Exercise 2: Matching Exercise ====


Asking for and giving personal information is an important part of Czech culture. When meeting someone for the first time, it is common to exchange names and ask basic questions about each other's background. Czech people value personal relationships and are often interested in getting to know new people on a deeper level. It is also common to address people using their first names, as Czech society has a relatively informal approach to social interactions.
1 - C, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - B, 5 - E


In terms of age, Czech people tend to be more private about their age compared to some other cultures. Asking someone about their age, especially if they are older, can be considered impolite or intrusive. However, younger generations are becoming more open to discussing their age, especially in informal settings.
==== Exercise 3: Create Your Own Dialogues ====


When it comes to nationality, the Czech Republic is a multinational country with a diverse population. Czech people are generally proud of their national identity and heritage. However, it is important to approach discussions about nationality with sensitivity, as some individuals may have complex ethnic backgrounds or identify with multiple nationalities.
Here’s an example to guide you:


== Exercises ==
'''A:''' Jak se jmenuješ? 


Now it's time to practice what you have learned! Here are some exercises to help you solidify your knowledge of asking for and giving personal information in Czech:
