Below are the most common Czech words and phrases.
The Czech alphabet consists of 42 letters with specific pronunciation for each letter.
In the Czech language each letter sound is pronounced when saying the word.
The Czech language is one of the more challenging languages in the world to learn. Give yourself some time to learn it.
If you hire a language teacher, be very specific about what you want to learn and how you intend to use the language.
For example, I would like to learn Czech to navigate day to day activities such as supermarkets, restaurants, transportation and taxis. Or advise you want to conduct business in Czech. If you tire of learning the language, take a break from lessons, continue to try to use it and you can always return to lessons when you feel more confident. Sometimes it is best to focus on a few phrases in the beginning, master their usage and then carry on with new phrases. Be comfortable with making mistakes and become comfortable with laughing at yourself, it is all a part of learning a new language!

Do consider having google translate apps on your phone to access day to day, it does provide the necessary assistance to get your thoughts conveyed when you are not able to. If you have a need for an official translation of a document please do not use Google Translate, please seek out a professional to translate the documents.
