Language
Czech is a Slavic language with difficult consonant clusters; learn the greetings and let the rest go. English is common in Prague's tourism and with younger people; older people may know German or Russian better.
- Stress falls on the first syllable; 'ř' is the famous sound — nobody expects you to get it right.
- Dobrý den (good day), děkuji (thank you), prosím (please/here you are), na shledanou (goodbye).
- 'Ahoj' is informal hello and goodbye; use it only with friends and young people.
