Ringing church bells is amazing. My grandfather used to ring church bells and I would go with him as a kid. When stopping the bell he would be pulled up in the tower of the church. It was awesome.

[@NoNameNomad....]

What an amazing memory to have from your childhood. ❤

[@Viva-Cristo-Rey-]

@@NoNameNomad.... That is certainly true!🙏🏻

I showed my dad the feature and he’s smiling on both cheeks! Thanks Janek for the video it is such an awesome Project! Greetings from Innsbruck 🔔🔥

[@user-hm9is5ke9i]

Innsbruck is such a special place.

[@stahuwu]

And the czech word at the end is bell - zvon, bell - zvon

[@dalis994]

The pronunciation is pretty straightforward: Zvaughn. The only difference is that instead of long "augh" part you say it in short way

[@garyaraoz4574]

Thank you.

[@burkeiowa]

When I saw the number 9801, I recognized it as a perfect square. 99 x 99 = 9801 What? There's no lesson at the end to teach us how to say the word, "Bell" in Czech or something like it? (Granted, I still wish the lesson was at the start, and that the word would get used a few times during the video, so we would actually learn it from the reinforced usage. I never remember the words because they are at the end and not used.)

[@J.Lassalle]

Nice comment I agree

[@Monkguyfunk1]

Thank you Mr science and wizard

[@burkeiowa]

Of course, reinforcing the language lesson throughout the video could require him to pick out the word before filming the overall video, whereas he can pick a word much later the way it's done now. But I do think it would work better to present it earlier, use the word in the video a few times, followed by the English word for it, and many of us would pick up a few words in a few weeks.

[@Beckford4000]

The only issue here is that the basic noun is ZVON, but, because of Czech grammar, Janek would be using tons of different forms of the word, which would only confuse everyone.

[@happymiro]

That end is fantastic, with all that vibration

[@geuros]

I've been ringing bells for 15 years, it's an amazing feeling. Our 2 bells are much smaller, 1000kg and 1600kg, but that's still really big, they survived the war - the smaller is from 1550, the bigger 1603 I think. Then there's the bell Zikmund in the St. Vitus cathedral, which weighs over 16 tons and it has the most wonderful sound.

[@matyassiegel1732]

I'm ringing bells in 12th century church - bells are also from 16th century - 800kg and 200kg (I still consider 800kg as "big bell").

[@MrJokerh61]

Can't wait to visit Prague on Sunday 🎉 hopefully I we get a chance to ring the Bell.

[@jeffreyfredman7598]

Pre covid, I had a trip to Prague planned and that is why I started watching your videos still haven't made it yet. But while you now have a video memorializing bells, I've not seen a video about Jewish Prague or the impact of the Holocaust on Prague. If you get a chance, I'd be interested.

[@nikolamrdja2062]

No wayyyyyy I heard it, that's how I found this video

Beautiful project with a great spirit! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Berlin!

beautifull bell and the sound is incredible.

Because of you guys, I am visiting Prague in December, and I wanted to ask if you could create an updated video of new pubs and bars that I absolutely must see in Prague.

[@marianopastrana7680]

Short video, amazing job. Congratulations, loved the reason why it was made.

[@peterho8007]

Thumbs up to the bell makers !! Good job .

[@christophers_verified]

Love it! ❤ I wish I would have known about the Prague lenses when I was last there a couple of years ago. Sounds like I need to go back and ring the bell!

[@PortageurCa]

That's really cool. Such a neat experience, and such an interesting story.

You forgot to tell Czech word at the end! I was looking for learning something new 😃

[@hobby30plus]

So this is Untitled Goose Game in real life? Just kidding, during the war we had similar cases in Poland, and people hid the bells by burying them to avoid the melting.

[@leewilliams5341]

Amazing.

[@blue1901]

it's a very big bell 🙀

[@dumdadedumcheese]

Ah, just the other week I was sat at one of the bars right in front of this bell! Looked very interesting!

[@kirchenglockentv]

I heard they want to locate the bell to another place on an island in Prague some time, is this right?

[@pedrostormrage]

4:24 "Touch the bell to feel it. Let it 'recharge' you" If that word spreads, I guess tourists will naturally start polishing that bell (like they do with part of the statue of St. John Nepomuk on the Charles Bridge) 😛

Hi Janek, hi Honza, hope you are well, I've been watching your videos everyday for the last month or two because next year on the summer term I'm going to study in Prague I wanted to know if you could recommend me where to live in the city if I'm going to study at VSE, the university offers me acomodation at Praha 3, Praha 7 and Praha-Kunratice. Love your videos, Greetings from Chile

[@callewretstrom689]

Hey. Love your videos. Could i ask a question you might be able to do a video about. On pedestrian walkings over the street the light turn really fast. Can you still cross if it's red after you started to walk? And on were you have the white lines to walk but no light who has the right of way? Cars or people ?

[@Kalkincz]

Hello, When you step in street when there is Green, you can still finish even if there is red. Lights deciding when you can enter crosswalk, so you dont need to run ;). Pedestrian have right of way but he must not endanger car ( car need to have enough time to safly stop) BUT be aware of Trams. Trams have right over peaople.

[@paulafdezabril7018]

Hello, I leave this comment as an idea for a video. This Sunday my plane leaves for Prague and what is most difficult for me is choosing what type of clothes to wear, since I do not know exactly the climate of the country and I am personally used to the heat of Spain. So if you could talk about the different climates, surely many people would appreciate it. Otherwise, the video is excellent as always and your channel helped me in preparing for this trip so thank you very much and keep it up.

[@vlastimilhorvath3432]

Hi, it's warm here. 20 to 35 degrees Celsius. Since it's summer. But, it can happen that it will be cloudy and rainy during the day. It can happen that storms come and Prague is screwed. Rivers overflow their banks and you have to drive boats. So I recommend taking shorts, a raincoat and a life ring.

[@paulafdezabril7018]

[@annakrzyminska8033]

Czy liczba 9801 dotyczy tylko dzwonów w Czechach czy wszystkich w Europie, które spotkał ten sam los?

[@vermull19]

Jedná se o počet zabavených zvonů v Protektorátu Čechy a Morava. Jinak v Říši (včetně českého poraničí alias Sudet) bylo zrekvírováno cca 44tis. zvonů a na obsazených územích cca. 33tis. zvonů.
