Krtek
The first language I learned was Czech. My mom used to talk to me in Czech, so it makes sense that there are videos of me babbling away happily in that language when I was young. As soon as school started my Czech speaking quickly faded and turned into English instead. Today I still understand ‘household’ Czech, but am too afraid to speak it. This is part of my motivation to ‘relearn’ the Czech language.
One of the Czech cartoons that I remember watching while I was young was about a character named Krtek. Over the holidays my brother, a few of his friends, and my dad went to the Czech Republic for a 2 week hockey holiday. They brought my mom back a little stuffed Krtek, reminding us all of his story. Our memories revolve around Krtek and his pockets, which sadly I can’t find on YouTube. But I did find many others, including the story of Krtek and a Green Star. It’s vaguely familiar, and equally as cute.
