be patient with talking, they do not expect you to talk, do not expect everybody to welcome you as a foreigner, the city is full of tourists

Czech is a difficult language and, to my opinion, impossible to learn in half a year. communication is sometime a problem, but with creativity and the friendliness of the Czech people, a solution was always found.
