i am just wrapping up 3 years in the r.expat communities,? i live in the jeseniky mountains and there is only one other american here, although we are in OLOUMOC KRAJ.(JESENIKY) I STEERED CLEAR OF EXPAT COMMUNITIES BECAUSE I WAS DETRMINED TO ABSORB THE CULTURE AND LANGUAGE, SO I HIT THE GROUND RUNNING. THERE ARE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE IN THE CZ. THE YOUNG PEOPLE STUDY IT IN SCHOOL, THE OLDER ONES, WELL IT WAS FORBIDDEN TILL AFTER THE VELVET REVOLUTION.BEST BET WOULD BE TO HIT THE PUBS OR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND ASK QUESTIONS, I FOUND OUT MORE THIS WAY. TROUBLE THERE IS MOST STUDENTS GO TO OTHER COUNTRIES TO WORK, for the summer.MOSTLY ENGLAND, SO ENGLISH IS THERE, NOT TO WORRY.EXPAT COMMUNITIES I DON'T KNOW. ALSO I MEET PEOPLE WHO SPOKE ENGLISH DURING THE SNOW SEASON ON THE SLOPES...........DO YOU KNOW ANY CZECH?HOW TO ASk IF ANYONE SPEAKS ENGLISH? THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY INTELLIGENT BUT SHY TO SPEAK english BECAUSE THEY THINK THEIR ENGLISH ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH,YOU SHOULD HERE SOME FROM WHERE I LIVED, IN FLORIDA AND ALABAMA,MICHIGAN,TENNESSEE.YOU HAVE TO PROD IT OUT.BUT ONCE YOU GET THEM GOING.............. ENGLISH IS THERE, THEY USE IT AT THE TRAIN STATION, THERE,WHICH ISN'T THE CASE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. HIT THE PUBS, AND LOOK FOR SOME YOUNGER PEOPLE,THEY STUDY IT ALSO BECAUSE WITH THE EU IT WILL HELP THEM. I KNOW THE FEELING, TILL I GOT A GRIP ON SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IT WAS HARD.
