Czech Language
People in the Czech Republic speak their own language, the Czech. Many people in Prague speak English or German, especially young people. Try to ask them if you need something.
It is very hard (almost impossible) to learn Czech for foreigners, because the language is very difficult (more difficult than Latin or German, for example). This page gives you some basic vocabulary to read various signs and to say very simple things.
More words to be added soon. Maybe...
