There are some words in Bohemian that contain no vowels; ex. vlk, wolf; prst, finger.… In such words the consonants l and r play the part of a vowel; they take a softer sound and are called semivowels (Pronounce them as if there were a slight e before l or r. Vlk as velk, prst as perst).

Examples:—Strč prst skrz krk. Drn, pln, slz, brk, vlna.—Some consonants following each other give trouble to the inexperienced beginner. Much practice is therefore necessary to acquire a good pronounciation right from the beginning.
