Czech language is one of the most dificult languages considering the slavic area, you have to study it hardly; so at university I should comunicate in english to have a good level of comunication, in czech was impossible for me. It was nice to learn some to relationship with the local people.

Personal comments
Prague has lots of culture activities, as theater, music events (gipsy music, rock and classic operas); very interesting at night. On the other hand, Czech Republic is one of the biggest beer producer, and is famous for its quality; the city is full of old and traditional pubs for drinking it.
