Why speak Czech while traveling?

One of the major economies of Central Europe

A member of NATO and the European Union, the Czech Republic is one of the most developed and industrialized countries in Central Europe, having established trade relations primarily with the European Union, in particular with Germany and France. 
The country is rich in mineral resources, especially coal, lignite and uranium. The most important economic sectors are electrical equipment, the construction of automobiles and other means of transportation, the environment and construction. Its agri-food sector is distinguished by the production of world famous beers, such as Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser. 

A remarkable tourist destination 

Beyond being a city of immense beauty - whose historic center is inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List - the country's capital, Prague, is a cultural center at the crossroads of Slavic and Germanic cultures. The architecture, recognized for its towers and steeples, also includes the famous Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, numerous palaces, churches, basilicas and renowned museums. Other must-see tourist cities are Karlovy Vary, with its hot springs, and the medieval buildings of Český Krumlov.
The influence of different peoples has created a very vibrant culture which is expressed in music, with famous composers such as Antonín Dvořák and Heinrich Biber, and in literature with Milan Kundera and Franz Kafka, to name but a few. Other big names in world culture and science were born in the Czech territory, such as Sigmund Freud, Gregor Mendel and Johann Palisa. 

Make a success of your stay in Czech Republic

Whether you are going to spend a few days with friends for a leisure trip or if you are on a business trip, nothing will be more useful to you than to be able to slip a few words in the language of your interlocutors, who will appreciate your effort and will be certainly more willing to help.

How to succeed in having good pronunciation within a week to a month?

The official language of the Czech Republic, but also spoken in communities in the United States, Canada and elsewhere, Czech has about 11 million speakers. Relatively close to Slovak and Polish, Czech is written in the Latin alphabet, enriched by diacritic marks on consonants and vowels. Although the language is considered difficult to learn, the pronunciation of Czech is phonetic, in that it is faithful to its spelling. It should also be known that the accent is almost always focused on the first syllable of the word.
