Czech is really different, but for Slovaks it is okay there. I did not have any problems whatsoever with languages.

czech is a very difficult language and is to my opinion impossible to learn in one semester. Most young people in town speak english, somewhat older people sometimes speak german.

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.
