Personal comments

The language of instruction at the university was English. I had quite a good level of Eglish before I went there but I found that my English improved and I don't have problems to using it. I was also interested to learn czech but my primary goal was to improve my English. Czech people outside the university don't always speak English so I found it very useful to know some czech.
