"A note from Radka 📝
"Dobrý den and Hello, dear travellers!
I am a local Czech girl living in beautiful Prague. I wanted to make a recording of basic Czech phrases to help you navigate the city and also to help you try and speak a little Czech. We Czechs love hearing you try speaking our language as we know it's a difficult language. Czech contains a lot of consonants so many words may feel quite hard to pronounce. However, one thing is quite "easy", all letters in Czech are pronounced the way we write them -- unlike in English. So if the letter "a" sounds like "a" in the word "ask", it will always sound like that in Czech no matter the word. I hope the recording helps!"
Scroll down to the bottom to hear our native Czech Guide Radka pronounce these super helpful Czech words and phrases. 👇🏻

Its historic streets harmonize with modern developments and verdant parks, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. Beyond its visual splendour, Prague thrives as a cultural hub, hosting renowned festivals and nurturing world-class orchestras and theatres. Museums, galleries, and the Palace of Culture add to the city's cultural tapestry. Prague's architectural treasures, spanning various eras, contribute to its allure, making it a truly remarkable and somewhat underrated destination. The city's warm and friendly atmosphere, coupled with a culinary blend of tradition and multicultural influences, offers a delightful experience. Indulging in superb coffee, and savouring the robust beer and sausage offerings, I cherished every moment in Prague and eagerly anticipate my return to this enchanting city soon."
