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.
Etiquette, safety and scams

- Greeting: Dobrý den on entering shops; handshake with eye contact; avoid: Walking in and out without a word
- Names and titles: Use academic titles if given (pan inženýr, paní doktorka); avoid: First names with older people until invited
- Pubs: Share tables, put a coaster on the glass when you have had enough; avoid: Waving for the waiter; they will come
- Homes: Shoes off at the door; slippers are offered; avoid: Arriving empty-handed; bring flowers (odd numbers) or wine
- Conversation: Dry humour, understatement; avoid: Calling it 'Eastern Europe' or confusing it with Slovakia
- Queues and trams: Give seats to older people; let people out first; avoid: Loud phone calls on public transport
Scams and watch-outs
