Language can be a bit of a... Language Review

Language can be a bit of a barrier, but you might do well speaking a little German. Czech is very difficult and I found that even with a book of 'useful' phrases, they weren't very useful the way I was pronouncing them!!
Some of the younger people will speak English, but don't count on it.

Here are the very basics:

Yes: Ano (AH-no)
No: ne (neh)
Please/You're welcome: Prosim (PROH-seem)
Thank you: Dekuji (Dyeh-koo-yih)
Hello: Dobry den (DO-bree-den)
Goodbye: Nashledanou (NAH-sleh-dah-noh-oo)

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
